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 now I consider myself more someone who manages people who are experts at things.

There are a lot of old writings here from 2005 to 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 as a static site generator. The code is available on GitHub. The site is hosted in an Amazon S3 bucket, and uses Amazon's CloudFront as a Content Delivery Network. It is 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 no tracking happening. I do not collect any logs; if you visit, it may be tracked in the bowels of Amazon, but I do not 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.
