Preston Pan

Hi! I'm Preston Pan, and this is my v3 of my website. I've got it to work with a shell script that I made. In the future, I might release the shell script as a separate thing, but for now it's a part of the Null Identity website and this one.

Some things about myself:

• I play improvisational piano, and I sing as a hobby.
• I do some amount of programming as a hobby.
• I also do some amount of mathematics and physics as a hobby.
• I try to read up on economics as a hobby.
• I'm trying to get my ham radio basic license.

Of course, those are rather surface level things, but the point is that you will find things related to the topics above on this website. The website is structured in a hiearchical format just like in filesystems because I find that to be the easiest balance between user simplicity and developer simplicity.

Note: most things on this website will 404 right now simply because of the fact that I have a limited amount of time and have just changed the backend for this website.

Topics

Here, you will find topics related to:

• About -- About me and this website.
• Mathematics -- An underlying framework for all things that are logical.
• Music -- my piano playing and singing (and maybe other instruments too).
• Physics -- Rates of change!
• Economics -- Rates of exchange!
• Technology -- Rates of finger pain! (Just kidding, I'm not an emacs user).
• Projects -- programming and other projects.
• Philosophy -- An underlying framework for all things that are.

Many articles will be written in groff and compiled to pdf.

Services

Here are the services that I run on my server/socially:

• rss feed -- atom feed for the website commit page to keep you updated on changes.
• rss feed (2) -- rss feed for my honk account, a fediverse server.
• Radio -- listen to music that Null Identity people have composed.
• Gopherhole -- logs for andrei.website and other cool stuff, must be viewed with a gopher client.
• Git server -- see the code that I write or my dotfiles and other stuff.
• The null webring -- a webring that I made (apparently there is another one by this name but ignore that).
• The Null Identity -- it's a ahem tightly knit community located in victoria. Yeah, that's the term.
• IRC server: ircs://prestonpan.tech:6697, no verification of tls (self signed).

Donating

Basically, if you like any of what I am doing, donate! My servers aren't free, and I do run a lot of stuff for the tech related community in our school, and I also try to write good software. I like monero as a donation method because:

• The network is probably going to last longer than other cryptocurrencies due to it actually being private and self-sustaining.
• Compared to services like PayPal, I don't care about having an account or any extra glitter. I just want a simple payment method that can be anonymous.
• The transaction fees are extremely low compared to other cryptocurrencies.
• Proof of work is bad for the environment, but I'll start caring about that when I get taxed for carbon consumption or something.

Here are some methods of donating I support:

• XMR, OpenAlias: preston@prestonpan.tech
