Hi, I'm Nicole (she/her)

I'm a Canadian college student studying web development, and currently working full time as part of my studies.

I've been programming as a hobby since around 2016, mainly personal projects, but with some freelance work done here and there. I mainly use Python and HTML/CSS/JS, but I also know C#, and I've dabbled with a number of other programming languages throughout the years (bet you've never heard of DreamMaker!).

Other than programming and computers, my hobbies include video games, paracord, and reading (when I'm feeling up to it).

I'll mainly use this blog to write about the various programming projects I'm working on, but I might throw in some other stuff occasionally, depending on my interests.

Most of the code I write or talk about on this blog will be open source, and you're free to use it according to the license I include (usually MIT, but check to be sure). If you use anything I make, credit is always appreciated. If you see that I've forgotten to give credit for something, please don't hesitate to let me know!

System specs

For those curious, I do most of my personal work on an HP Victus laptop with the following specs:

OS: Currently dual booting Windows 11/Arch Linux
Display: 1920x1080 @ 144.00Hz
Storage: 1TB SSD. ~900GB for Windows, ~100GB for Arch.
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H (20) @ 4.6GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q
RAM: 16GB

About this site

This blog is currently written in plain old HTML and CSS, and I'm using Simple.css by Kev Quirk to do the heavy lifting for the styling. I actually write the pages as Jinja templates, then they get rendered and compiled into HTML by a script I wrote, which you can find here. This lets me do things like re-use the page header without having to copy/paste it to every page. Otherwise, I intend to keep things pretty simple, but if I use any fancy tricks then I'll be sure to make a post about it.

Contact me

You can send me emails at nicole@natterings.cc, though I likely wont respond. I probably will read it though, so feel free to send in topics you'd like me to talk about, or question/suggestions about projects.
