robin's home

i'm robin, also known as robin_be/yugecin/yugecin26. hallo :) i'm from Belgium, specifically the part where we speak Flemish, so my French is very limited.

there's some stuff about me below, but to know what i'm currently working on you can finger my tilde town account: $ finger robin@tilde.town the finger response is supposed to be my alternative of a /now page. i intend to update it regularly, though i haven't been really doing that in the past. maybe i do by the time you're reading this :)

btw the little colorful one-liners between the blocks on this page are inside jokes, each of them only one person knows where it comes from. (except the one that is a soundcloud link, which is just a line that i really liked)

the little globe icons after links (like this:) indicate links to external webpages (even if it's a domain owned by myself). links without that icon link to a page on this website. note that all links have no explicit target attribute, so they will take over the current tab by default. i think it's up to the user to decide whether to let it take over the tab or to choose to let it open in a new tab/window by holding ctrl or clicking with middle mouse button or any other way.

the background of this page come from https://paulbourke.net/texturelibrary/, it's rough/bluerough1.jpg but with lightness -60 (edited in paint.net). it's a great texture library and hard to choose one.

contact

here are some ways to contact me, and some accounts that are mine:

general advice: be skeptic when a nickname you recognize shows up somewhere online. it may not be the person you associate it with, it may even be someone trying to impersonate that person.

email:
(send me emails i love emails!) i only check this once a day, but i do check it more if i'm in an active conversation and expect mail, but i also pretty much don't check it if i'm traveling
local-part: robin (the part before the @)
domain: lpvoid.be (the part after the @)
I used to have other email addresses listed here, but i check those even less so there's little point in using them. they also use a mail provider that i don't want to use anymore, but i don't feel like making the effort to switch right now.

discord (the online messaging thing):
username: robin_be tag: 2125 (they removed the account tags)

tilde.town:
tilde.town is a linux box where you (yes, you!) can get an account on.
"we are a community of around 3000 users making art, socializing, and learning on a linux server."
my username on there is robin, so my public web area is https://tilde.town/~robin
if you're a townie, i invite you to write in my guestbook at /home/robin/guestbook.txt

steam (the gaming thing):
Steam: yugecin
there's no real reason to add me as a friend i think, but if you're going to do it then at least send me a message or e-mail about it because i'll have no clue who you are and random unexpected friend requests are weird and suspicious unfortunately.

whatpulse:
WhatPulse: yugecin
this is a thing that tracks how many times you press keys and click mousebuttons. i find it very neat because i like statistics and graphs. though i have to say i dislike the direction they're taking this thing recently, making it "gamified" and more paywalled and generally making stats more hidden and making the design more "modern" which harms functionality and ease of use.

twitter:
Twitter: yugecin26
this is pretty much read-only, i rarely tweet and if i do it's probably because i want to scream into the abyss to complain about something, so you should not follow me. instead you could finger me from time to time. i am also trying to limit my twitter scrolling time (which has nothing to do with contacting me but i wanted to mention that).

github:
GitHub: yugecin
the place where i put some code of some of my projects online. i have been thinking about migrating to a different place (maybe sourcehut?) but i don't feel like the spending time doing that. i also don't really feel like "publishing" much source code online anymore because the main audience nowadays seem to be LLMs.

youtube:
YouTube: robin_be
yeah it's youtube. just some random videos.

demozoo:
demozoo: yugecin
it's a demoscene thing

shadertoy:
Shadertoy: robin_be
not that i'm active on there, but i felt like including it in this list

maybe telling you this defeats the point, but some of these 88x31s have titles that show on mouse hover. also some are hyperlinks and are clickable. not being able to see the difference between a clickable and non-clickable one is probaby an accessibility violation, and maybe i should fix that

Tilde town CYBER this 88x31 has been seized [IPvX] you're telling me a queer coded this


Purpl

and here is my button:

(okay i don't have a button yet but when i will, it will show up here)

if you want to put it on your webpage, you should not download and host it, but rather hotlink the image. 31a05b9c has this nice little text why: note on 88x31: if the 88x31 is a link to a different site, load the image from the target site. it may change in the future, and if the site dies, its image should too.
