domain

I picked this domain back in 2013 and have stuck with it ever since. It was originally solely a place to host my mixes -- hence the name, resembling a radio station -- but organically evolved over time into what you see here.

The current meaning of the domain name is:

empty Formless Machine, Computing Carefully

server

It's not "cloud native", but it is the cloud. Upcloud!

This virtual server is called zircon. Of my little fleet of cloud servers, this one is my "personal" one. Like the rest of them, it runs void plan9port/linux.

The other main service running on this server is my honk instance the black hole cafe.

the design

Welcome to my digital garden, affectionately called the black hole server, nilFM. Here I blog, share my art and knowledge, and maintain the core of my digital identity.

This website is designed with equal consideration for style, navigability, performance, and elegance of implementation. It's built by eureka, a static site generator written by Devine and myself. Changes can be done via a text editor and then synced to the server or by using the nirvash content management system.

This is one of many websites and web services that I maintain as part of my software labs LightCrystal Systems. I'm constantly doing research and development to push the boundaries of human-computer interaction, software design, and digital art.
