2025

UPDATE [31.1.2026.]:

This is my last post before going on a break.

I just wanted to make an announcement that I'll be inactive for the next 2 months. I wanted to announce it here as well, for the people who visit my site.

Know it that I won't be active on the chats in here, nor will I be visiting this place during this time.

Looking forward to hang out with y'all again, after the break!

UPDATE [27.1.2026.]:

Almost 2 weeks ago I made an update to my site, but I forgot to mention it anywhere... oops.

  • I updated all of my "Socials" pages... Some of them, like the Facebook and Twitter one, contain my Neocities feed.
  • I also made new Instagram and Youtube accounts which you can follow (if you want)...
  • (I'm especially glad I removed the slop I had on the YouTube page before)
  • Don't forget my Discord Server as well!

The past week I've been kinda absent... I wasn't actively working on the site, I was mainly watching Star Wars and messing with Linux... (never seen Star Wars until now and I've turned 30 last year xD)

The week before it, I was actually actively working on a new addition to the site however, I haven't been able to complete it before my break... But it's the first thing I plan to work on once I'm back!

That being said, just to confirm again, I'm going on a 2-month break starting February 2026.

During the break, I don't intend to work on anything related to this project, and I don't even plan to come here during that time.

HOWEVER, if I'll be substituting someone at work, and if there's nothing to do and it gets boring, I may visit the chats here... But I don't plan to come here when I'm at home. I have other stuff I plan to dedicate myself to fully.

Until my break, I intend to make at least 1 more update to the site, if nothing else, at least announcing that I'm gone.

UPDATE [10.1.2026.]:

This is my first post of 2026! And I have a bunch of new stuff to report! This will be a bit of a longer post, so please bear with me...

Unfortunately, I have both good and bad news...

I'll start with the good ones:

  1. January 3rd marked a 1 year anniversary of the iSmile website! I wish I acknowledged it earlier, but I did do something special for it, which is in the next bullet point:
  2. I have been removing AI stuff from my website! I've decided that this should be no place for it... For a 1 year anniversary you witness the all new iSmile website with actual artwork (including the background), instead of the artless slop I had before!
  3. The highlight of this update: I made a brand new page: ASCII World! My attempt to create a page entirely from ASCII (an idea I've had for a while...). In there, you can see ASCII animations, play ASCII games, see my YWOT, and an ASCII chat, among other things...
  4. Since Chattable was down, I added a new #alt-chat channel for my Discord page.
  5. Chattable is back after a while (at least somewhat)! That's great news! Especially since half of my site is powered by it, so finally you can see it in its full glory!

Ok so let's get to the bad news:

  1. Chattable is only partially back, as it seems to be a discontinuation of it, at least for now... Users cannot create new accounts, only the existing ones can use it, and, since it got downgraded to a free plan of Firebase, the chats will work until the daily free tier Firebase resources are expended for that day, which may not happen at all on some less-busy days, but on days with higher traffic (or if the attacks start again) - the chat will stop working for the rest of the day. All thanks to a stupid low-life kid who has nothing better to do with his life but to attack a free tool which we all benefited from. We can thank him for this situation...
  2. More news which may be bad or good, but I've decided to take a break from working on, and visiting my site for 2 months this year (February and March). I'll be here until the end of January, most likely, and then I'll be coming back at the start of April.
