You know things are escalating out of control when you have to go from printf debugging to printk debugging.

for the past few years, i'm sure many of you have read my many lamentations about the death of the old, small web many of us grew up with.

there are tons of static site generators out there, but none of them did what i wanted: something that could build an entire site without futzing with javascript and library dependencies. i wanted something that we would have had in 2005, but didn't have in 2025.

in january, i decided to do something about it instead of whining. i started gluing together a few php scripts i had been using to build blogs, rss feeds and mini homepages. i even wrote a new mini markup language.

i thought it would take me a week. it took >3 months. 😅

it ran for the past month as globaltalk.network's interactive site, and many of you asked if i'd ever let other people spin up an instance. i can finally say: yes!

today, kiki is officially finished and released for public use. named after my little black house demon, it's small, fast, and sometimes well behaved. and, it's all written in php without a single external dependency. just unzip and go.

it's released as shareware - in the oldest, finest, jankiest meaning of the word: you're free to goof around with and share the unregistered version. build your own little kiki instance, and customize the heck out of it until it feels like your own little home in the world wide web:

I've been having fun figuring out the lore that sits outside of the game I want to make. This is the first time Ive gotten to write some heavy story narrative in almost a decade, so I am enjoying myself.

homestar runner is right, we should go back to websites on computers with scrolling to the end of pages and sitemaps

This is your random reminder adding a CW on distressing current affairs (especially if that isn't your main jam) helps protect people who need to shelter their psyches on bad days.

I'm getting a lot of difficult stuff just popping up in my feed today. It's hard yo. I'm not in a place where I can hold space for that today.

Consent is sexy.
Consent is kindness.
Consent is care for the vulnerable.
Give me space to consent to what my soul is exposed to and when.

You wonderful souls saved my friend Autumn from eviction a few months ago, she's a trans woman on disability & her roommate screwed her & their other roommates for months on rent. They're a quarter to their new goal to break the lease & get into a lower cost place away from that abusive roommate!
