What is this?
My website! Check out the about page!
Why did you make a website?
It lets me blog and serves as a convenient multimedia portfolio!
Can you make me a website?
NO! I am not a web developer! Maybe I could make you something else, though.
What are you?
I'm just a guy. I have a bachelor's in physics, but I dabble in many things.
Can I see your CV / Resume?
Sure! This one should be mostly up-to-date, but it's very general. Contact me (adamlastowka@gmail.com) and I can give you a better, specialized one.
Can I follow you on [platform]?
Absolutely: I've got a X/Twitter, a GitHub, and a LinkedIn. I'm also on BlueSky.
What tools are you using to make this website?
This is a static website built from a collection of markdown files that are transformed into .html pages with a very simple static site generator I wrote. I am also using:
- Github Pages to host the website (for free!)
- SquareSpace to register
adamlastowka.com - p5.js for the interactive "applets" on the website
- highlight.js for code syntax highlighting in articles
- MathJax to display LaTeX on pages
- Jinja as a templating engine
- Python for everything and PIL/Pillow for thumbnail gen
- Visual Studio Code as my general-purpose IDE
- GIMP to edit most of the images on the website
