ABOUT ME
Hello! My name's Leonel, although everyone calls me Leo, and I'm the webmaster of this site. So let's go over the basics: I'm a 17 year old argentinian autistic guy with a huge passion for anything tech related. Huge fucking nerd, by the way. My biggest hobbies are coding, drawing and playing videogames, although I'm not very good at any of them.

In terms of personality I'm not quite sure what to say... People often describe me as reserved and quiet, maybe even dry or monotone, but I can be cool if we're close. I think. Okay, not really.

A thing about me is that I've felt a huge connection to computers and other technological devices all my life. Ever since I started playing Club Penguin all day on my mom's laptop when I was five, probably. Being an undiagnosed autistic kid, my blunt answers, my overall seriousness and my obsession with perfection or acurracy came off as weird to my classmates, so I often got ompared to a computer or calculator; but I wasn't really offended by it. Instead it's something I've kind of "reclaimed", in a way. These experiences lead me to have some sort of connection or affection for computers and technology all my life :)
OTHER QUESTIONS
How did you get into coding?
I've been coding for a little over a year now! It all started when i joined a retro website called Spacehey, a recreation of the original MySpace website. I already had some previous HTML knowledge but I didn't really get into it until I decided to code my own spacehey profile from scratch. It motivated me to start coding a personal website and, well. Here we are!

What do you use to make your website?
This code is mostly written in Notepad++, which is a pretty good code editor. Sometimes I use Visual Studio Code as well. Besides that, this website is currently being tested in a 1024x768 monitor (yeah, that's a really old monitor) on a Windows PC running google chrome. You might need to adjust your zoom configuration to view my site properly, sorry!

Any inspirations?
Mostly other neocities sites! I also really like to play around a lot with different layouts with a lot of different inspirations for each of them. For example, the layout youre currently reading this on is very inspired by various 80s New Wave aesthetics and design, but most of my pages are really inspired by certain currents or styles originated in the 2000s web.

(not very) FUN FACTS
1. thats me on the left! in absolute shit quality. on purpose, of course.

2. im actually half-slovenian on my moms side. i dont tend to mention it a lot because i know next to nothing about the culture and dont really consider myself to be slovenian because of it. im definitely learning the language one day though - and poticas fucking awesome

3. i tend to collect useless technology for absolutely no reason. they get bonus points if theyre at least 30 years old. my favorite ones so far are my 2 90s digital agendas in absolutely pristine condition i cant really get to work.

4. im running out of ideas already. i have accidentally stolen at least 5 books in the past 3 years.

5. i am the pickiest eater i know. im not exaggerating whatsoever. ive had my friends quiz me and ask about around 50 different foods and i can confidently say i answered "i dont like that" to at least an 80% of them.

6. i have run out of ideas completely but im definitely adding more to this eventually
