fourisland

This is an old version of my personal website, Four Island. There have been five major revisions of the website:

Four Island 1, which I started working on something like a week before 09/22/07. It was written in PHP. This code does not really exist anymore, as I was not using source control back then, but I have some scraps of it scattered around. Needless to say, it was not very good code, considering the fact that I was 13 years old when I started writing it.
Four Island 2, which is this repository. It is still PHP, but the website was rewritten from scratch. I don't know when I started working on it, but it was published on 06/12/08.
Four Island 3, which was just modded and themed Wordpress (and thus still PHP). It was published 09/22/11.
Four Island 4, which was just Jekyll, and thus not really much code on my part. It was published 04/06/12, and then got reverted back to Wordpress sometime before June. Kind of amusing that the fourth major revision of a website called Four Island is the one with the least presence.
Four Island 5, which is the current website. It is again my own code (the repository is called thoughts), written from scratch using Ruby on Rails. I began working on it on 06/24/17. It was originally not branded as Four Island, but I later imported all of the old blog posts, redesigned the theme to match one of the Four Island 2 themes, and relaunched it as "Four Island" on 11/13/23.

This repository, Four Island 2, was originally a Mercurial repository, as that was what I preferred when I was a teenager. I converted it to a git repository sometime in college, at which point I'd already stopped actively using the website. This code is here not because it is very good, which it's not, but because I'm proud of the work my teenage self did to run a website for me and my friends.
