It's been a long time ! Nearly 30 years since I first made a personal page. At that time web technology was different, and the web itself was very different : very few corporate sites, lots of personal pages, no ads everywhere...
In their personal pages, people were sharing their interests and passions. I want this page to have the same spirit, it will be a place where I share my centers of interest, mostly around computing and technology. It's more like a biography than a blog with technical articles.
I also want this page to be technically simple, just html and css, no javascript, no use of whatever framework. The orange nerd is not my nickname, just a name that came in my head when I was seeking for a site name.
My name is Nicolas, I live in north of France, I'm interested in electronics and computers (new and old) since my teenage. I started with a 8 bits Amstrad CPC6128 in the 80s, then went 16 bits with an Amiga 600 in the early 90s and switched to a 32 bits PC in the end of the 90s.
For communications, I spent a lot of time on citizen band in the early 90s, then when I got internet in the late 90s I fell in love with IRC. I have never been very active on facebook, deleted my twitter (X) account, and nowadays my social media of choice is mastodon.
