【この道を歩く】〜WALK THIS WAY〜

I wanted to write about this since a few days ago but a person asked me the other day why this website was so barebones and that if I was actually just working on a proper design.

And he was shocked when I told him that indeed the goal was to just make the whole site imperfect everywhere on purpose, with a barebones Web 1.0/2.0 design in mind with the sole exeption being the PSOBB server side because requires a little bit more of color.

To put you in context I've been working as a Web Developer even since I started to dabble with Frontpage during my early High School days back in 2000 and began to do more serious stuff starting 2001 and onwards.

During these almost 24 years on the field i've witnessed first-hand how the web evolved in front of me and the tools around and to be honest, I'm extremelly dissaopinted with the results, bloated, unesessary guidelines, useless frameworks, horrible design trends that are not even design anymore, every website that used to be ran by people (bots and AI clickbaity sites dont count) are dissapearing and relying only on major social networks for awareness, all the forums and BBS gone and replaced by Discord and on and on.....

Sure you might think its a huge waste of money to defy these odds and run a lone server in the middle of the net but haven't you noticed this either? You don't have to be a professional in the field to notice! the internet is actually dissapearing...... in fact! currently theres a struggle to keep feeding the AI models with new information beacuse they already scrapped most of the internet new/old webpages already! and now are planning to scrap data from Youtube videos what the hell!!!

In a not so distant future, imperfect websites like this will be the ones that will be your cue to know they are actually ran by a person behind the scenes and not a robot or a bot because right now most new websites are actually being created by AI/Bots to be consumed by other AI/Bots !!

During this month we had the visit of some relatives we haven't seem since almost 20ish years ago (at least in my case) and it was their very first time in spain, we've decided to take them to the Madrid Valley which is a valley outside of Madrid with a huge cross that is also the place known as "Valle de los Caidos" a place of worship where many people died during the dictatorship years building this incredible monument, while the thing was impressive I was surprised on the trail leading there.



Here we were going upwards little by little and I was just so happy to see wilderness!!! specially forest!!!



Then we arrived at the hidden monastery behind which also happens to be a Hotel nowadays for an awesome private area to hold parties and dinners in a extremelly quiet environment surrounded by the valley forest during the nights.

It was all very quiet but i loved it all!!



And of course the main attraction which is the giant Cross and the main temple area very incredible buildings and monuments everywhere could tell was a real historical place here and that sadly the current commie government is desperate to delete and sabotage (OH WHAT A SURPRISE COMMIES GETTING RID OF NICE STUFF!!!)

Then we ended up heading back the forest back to the valley...



I have to say it was a very pleasant day, far away from everything and just enjoy the forest, lately I'm just too tired of having to deal with people everywhere. 

The slowest months of the year have ended and now we are kinda approaching into very interesting months ahead I will be writing about it in due course when I get more information.

But in the meantime HOW HAVE YOU BEEN!?! on top of the weird shenanigans plaguing the PSO circles as usual nothing new under the sun tbh, I've been also playing a lot of GBVSR trying to improve in the game and enjoy the lobby life with some randoms that are regulars in the game too.

It's been quite a hectic month with many weird things happening but from now on lets see what happens on may and beyond...
