Why Venomade?

“Venomade” comes from a song I quite like. I picked it because it rolls of the tongue easily enough, it’s not entirely unique but it’s still memorable, and most importantly it’s .com domain was available.

NSFAQ?

NSFAQ stands for Not So Frequently Asked Questions

Which programming languages do you use?

I started programming in Javascipt and Python at school, I then discovered Go in 2018 and it quickly became my favourite programming language. Learning Go inspired me to work with C, in order to program more efficiently in C, I studied Haskell, which flowed nicely into programming Rust.
Nowadays however, I prefer to stick with C because it is where I feel most comfortable, though I have been enjoying LISP as of late.

What Music do you listen to?

I listen to quite a wide range of genres so instead, here are some artists I particularly like:
  • Tatsuro Yamashita
  • Night Tapes

Why does your website look so old/ugly?

I wrote it in Emacs.

It does however have some benefits over modern websites. It uses no JavaScript, respects your default font choice, loads superfast (even on dial-up) and can display fully almost anywhere!
