about the webmaster

i am a 17 year old boy without a gender, who has all the genders and none of the genders. i also love all of the genders and none of the genders. if you were to describe this in layman's terms (as laymanny as my identity can get, at least), i am a bi aroacespec genderqueer transmasc neoboy. i am also alterhuman, proudly queer and an anarcho-communist. :)

i consider my name to be of little importance, but if you truly must know, you can call me nicolas. did i choose this name, or did this name choose me? i suppose that's your decision...

i am... i guess what people would call, quite out of touch. i've never had many close friends, and it's hard for me to understand others... so that being said, the contents of this website are written entirely from, and concerning, my own unique perspective. your mileage may vary and i do not mind that!

as you can probably tell just from looking at this website, i love computers very much. in particular, i love older computers that run legacy operating systems--but truly, any computer that comes into my life i grow fond of in one way or another. from big clunky desktops with big clunky CRT monitors to teensy, charming netbooks, i don't discriminate and give all of them so many hugs.

i hope to someday own a large collection of computers, retro and modern; in fact, i've already begun my collection, which currently consists of my HP desktop (tessa), my lenovo thinkpad (inky), my disney-themed asus eeePC (paisley), and my toshiba satellite (happily nameless). next on this list is... i dunno! whatever i'm feeling whenever i'm feeling it i suppose -- i did want to get a windows vista laptop a while back...

when it comes to old windows OSes, which i've always had a fascination and sort of affection towards, my favorites are those from the era of windows 95 to windows 7 (including the terrible ones!!). while i don't really like to run windows nowadays, i have a nostalgic appreciation for older versions, and you'll never see me being a hater of windows itself (even if i do find it a bit tedious to use) -- just a hater of microsoft and their business practices...

my main computer (the HP desktop) runs endeavourOS. occassionally though, i like to use my disney asus which runs windows xp. sadly it's unusable for regular browsing, but for editing and looking at basic html sites (such as those on neocities), it works just fine. :) the toshiba satellite i mentioned earlier is dualbooting linux mint 19.3 and windows 7, and my lenovo thinkpad currently runs arch linux. i was gonna dualboot but i'll wait till i upgrade the storage cuz right now it's only 200something gigabytes lol...

i'm autistic which likely explains why i'm attached to computers on such a deep level. i see it as no detriment to me though, even if there may be some struggles; it's just who i am and i'm OK with that, dare i say proud...

i hope you have fun browsing my little site. it's perpetually under construction...

actually, since you're here, here's a button if you'd like to link back to my site (just please don't hotlink!):

a button with the classic windows logo on the upper left-hand corner. next to it is text reading: vari. below this, aligned to the right, is smaller text reading: neocities dot org.

finally, here are some additional graphics that i feel describe me. this will be added to over time :)

Most like Shiver; Shiver is a mysterious and confident octoling known for her enka styled singing and signature folding fan. She gives off the impression of superiority and snobbiness, but she cares a lot for the people of Splatsville.
