about me
Hi, I'm ouzo.
I'm a CS student who's really into learning new things. I come from a really different background, but I've always had a big interest in computers.
Think of me like a 'car guy' versus a mechanical engineer who designs and builds cars, when it comes to CS. At this point in my degree I'm probably equivalent to the mechanic.
I've done most of my classes in Python, SQL and LaTeX. I'm trying to find the time to learn some Rust on my own, and I'll be doing C next semester.
I also really enjoy video games (I like a bit of everything, but FPS are my bread and butter), geopolitics / modern history and falling into wiki holes.
why 'ouzo'?
I like liquorice.
why a blog?
To learn some HTML and CSS. What better way than getting your hands dirty?
I was also inspired by this post on HN and this website after getting annoyed with how bloated the average webpage is.
why monospaced fonts?
I will die on the hill that monospaced fonts are the most aesthetically appealing to read. My favourite at the moment is Google Sans Code.
