Welcome to my homepage!
Hello, and welcome. I'm Gecko Fish and this is my personal homepage on the interwebs. At the moment there's not any main specific topic on this website but here you will find various things about retro-technology (old stuff basically), videogames, photography, random projects, and maybe something else...
Since always I have wanted to create and maintain an tiny personal homepage like in the old days of the WWW, so I hope this will be a good attempt and not like others I have done in the past...
And yeah, almost everything here is currently under construction, but feel free to explore this space using the sidebar buttons on the left.
NOTE: This website is best viewed on a latest Firefox/Chromium-based browser with Times New Roman and Consolas/Liberation Mono fonts (if you're on Linux install MS Core TTF and use this script) and on a desktop/laptop monitor. Sorry for any rendering problems that may occur on other devices or browsers.

- [2023-12-29] Moved my minigb instance from Ctrl-C.Club to HelioHost.
- [2023-12-15] I have returned to write something here after... 2 or 3 months? Anyway, I was thinking about changing a lot of things on this website after having done almost nothing new and maybe adding new pages for projects I'm doing, but I've been very busy with pending Igloo Cafe stuff that I haven't finished yet (because I'm so damn lazy). In case I don't get to do this before January 1st, I wish you happy holidays, christmas and new year ahead. This year has been very weird, with things I didn't expect to happen (like Valve making a big update to HL1 after 1 decade).
- [2023-10-06] Added new buttons and removed the Blog link on the sidebar. I should have done this a long time ago but it doesn't matter now.
- [2023-10-01] Unfortunately due to lack of time and disinterest, I have decided to stop doing any more ASCII Arts of the Month on the homepage, sorry. Besides, my blog won't be coming back. The main reason for this is that I don't really like blogging anymore and because I feel out of ideas for new posts. Currently I do small articles about things of my interest (almost similar to what my blog was) on my Igloo Cafe homepage, where I update very frequently but almost everything there is under construction. Feel free to visit it if you want to see some new stuff of me.
- [2023-09-27] Not a website news, but I want to take this opportunity to say that today the GNU Project turns 40. Thanks to them for making Linux and FOSS something better for our computers and also servers.
- [2023-09-09] I seem to have left this behind. I'm thinking about whether to redesign my blog in an old Blogger style, but that remains to be seen. I also thinking on deleting the vast majority of posts from there as I don't like them.
- [2023-08-29] Sorry for leaving this website private for several weeks, I was frustrated and decided better to shut this down temporarily until the drama died down. I haven't done anything new lately.
- [2023-06-29] I have decided to change the sidebar URLs to the corresponding HTML files as I feel that the redirects from those directories are annoying me. The old URLs will still be kept to avoid broken links somewhere where they have posted some part of this website.
- [2023-06-23] Hi, sorry for leaving this abandoned once again. I've been very busy and with some personal problems that didn't let me progress with this. The first new thing is that now all the pages have been changed in structure because ~nikdoof recently enabled SSI (Server-Side Includes) in Dimension so I no longer need to be copying parts like the header and footer in each HTML, which is good but this unfortunately made me have to make changes in the URLs and I had to move almost all pages to the root directory because of how limited Nginx is with SSI. And I already changed also the ASCII Art, too late I know. That's all, I don't have much to say.
- [2023-05-19] Hi. Sorry for the inactivity here... I did some tiny changes on this website and I also replaced the increment badge to a simple PHP hit counter that I have installed on my own server (Igloo Cafe) because it bothers me that the server where that thing's being hosted goes down every 10 seconds. And yeah I know I'm too late for add a new ASCII Art for this month, I don't feel like painting that much so I decided to put a simple ASCII Art of a coffee cup instead lol. That's everything, bye.
