# This Site
This site was a small project I worked on over the course of a few weeks while first returning back to university during my second year. The previous year I'd read a lot about the concept of (Permacomputing)[http://permacomputing.net/], the idea of reusing old computers and maximising their lifespan
This site is a small project I worked on over the course of a few weeks while first returning back to university during my second year. Its hosted on a small (lighttpd)[] server running on an old laptop from around 2003. I wrote a small C++ program that takes in MarkDown files and builds them into webpages. Everytime the server turns on it pulls from a repo, builds the code and runs it, this then builds the website and puts them in a folder for lighttpd to host.
## The thoughts behind this
During my first year at university I read a lot around the concept of [Permacomputing](http://permacomputing.net/). This is a set of ideas around reusing old computers and writing small systems that avoid [code rot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot) and use as little power as possible.
The driving idea behind this being that we've had computers that are powerful enough for most small jobs for quite a long time and realistically a lot of old e-waste is still perfectly good for these kind of small low-risk jobs and can be used in an eco-friendly way when worked with correctly.
I'd been reading into Permacomputing for a decent while but never properly had the chance to experiment with my thoughts on it. Along with that I'd also spent time doing a module in my first year on the history of the internet and found the www's origins really inspiring

I'm Rosia Evans, this is my site where I log my work for myself and for me to show to others.
This site is generated procedurally from markdown though C++ code I've written and hosted using [lighttpd](https://www.lighttpd.net/) on an old laptop through my router. You can find the code for it [here](https://github.com/Wil-Ro/Blog) and a more indepth talk about it on [this blog post](/ThisSite.html).

I'm currently studying at a small university in wales where I'm doing a BEng in software engineering whilst working on robotics and exploring my own interests on the side through various societies and personal projects.
Nowadays my interests lie mostly in low-power computing and electronics, experimenting with how computers can work in a more environmentally friendly world and how they can help us create that world. I find the environment is something I think about a lot and finding overlaps between it and my interests in computing has lead me to some really intersting communities.
On the side of this I also enjoy using code artistically to create music through programming using [Sonic-Pi](https://sonic-pi.net/) and just creating programs in general with friends and colleagues. Most of my work can either be found in blog-posts here or on my [github](https://github.com/Wil-Ro).
I've previously had interests in VR and XR and UI design, spending a lot of my secondary school years experimenting with both concepts so both websites also have a few probjects relating to those concepts.
