About

The Author

Andrew Phoenix - 40ish, father of three, husband of one, President / CEO of MediaDoc.

I build sites and software on the internet. I like to use Python and TypeScript for that; I also use the standard things that one often uses, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript. I have been considered a "WordPress Expert", though I would not describe myself as such, mostly because of self respect.

There are a lot of old writings here from 2005 - 2011. My areas of interest have changed since those years. I plan to:

• write a bit about my interests: music, business, coding, maths, photography etc.
• have a place I can direct my mother to when she asks what I want for a gift
• explain some things that I've purchased over the years and how that's worked out

This Site

This site is generated using Zola and hosted on Amazon S3. It's optimized for Chrome, but seems to work well in the other two browsers I use - Edge and Firefox.

This site uses almost no javascript, and there is very little in the way of tracking happening. I certainly do not review any logs or anything; if you visit, it may be tracked in the bowels of Amazon, but I don't really see it. Feel free to send me a message via any of the contact methods listed above. Note: in some past blog entries I talk about the analytics of the site somewhat, but I stopped tracking that years ago, and this is now mostly maintained for myself, so I'm not particularly interested in which browsers are viewing things.

This site is intended to have a lo-fi, retro feel to it. The colour schemes should be reminiscent of a shag carpet that was bought in the 80s.
