よこそう!

This is a personal blog / notebook site.

It can be incoherent and messy but you're welcome to find whatever benefit you can from it. It's just a convenient way for me to store stuff, be able to share some of it with others and generally scream into the internet void. It also keeps everything in one place rather than scattered over several sites and services.

Most parts are open for others to read.
Some parts might be password protected.

Despite running on dokuwiki, comments or editing are disabled to stop having to deal with any spam.
I might try to do something via mastodon for comments.

Most are short enough for repeated viewing at 10 to 20 mins length.

Old Homework

More old files. These were little projects I made for Japanese class. Mistakes and all. (I now think 優しい is a better word than 甘い to describe my dad. 甘い as indulgent or not strict works though.)

Chikaさん's Flashcards

When cleaning up my server and deleting the old site I noticed these pages which I handcoded years ago using my teacher's drawings (with permission). I wonder if Chikaさん uses them still.
