A little more about me

Everything in my life seem to circle around tree main passions, Technology, nature and people.
So far in my proffitional life, the people have held the main spotligt.

First combined with technology, where I was a certified event coordinator, ran a small department hosting a multitude of events centred around teaching game development.
Then combined with nature, where I was a professional ski instructor at Sun Peaks, Canada BC, both thought skiing and hosted and executes weekly events on the mountain.
Now my focus has shifted to technology, where I'm currently enrolled as a software engineering student at Aarhus University

Behind the website

This website is a single HTML file and ripped directly from John Doe's website. (be gentle, they said it was ok). This is my first real step into website and webdevolopment. So as of now, most credit goes to people who wrote and distributed john-doe's website

My first website!

This post makes the first iteration of my first website! Really existing stuff.
Not that the technology I have used is very interesting, as the front page stated.
The website is a single HTML file, with a little CSS, that I did not write.
But I'm exited that I now have a place to share things I create and achieved! The road stated with an Udemy Course, were completed the HTML part. Then half a year later, a random hacker news post I sadly can't find the hacker news post any more… Finally, paved the way for getting content on my domain, that has been sitting idle since probably 2017! screenshot of the under construction website previously hosted on mbirk.dk Again, thanks to John Doe's website for providing the framework for this site.

Solar Sailors

I attended a high school called Game College that teaches Game Developing on top of the normal technical high school curriculum, though multiple projects each year.
Our graduation project was the game Solar Sailors, my primary responsibility was aligning the team with the process, and making sure we meet our requirements and deadlines.
The Project spanned 3 mounts, and the Team consists of 6 programmers, 3 artists and me as the primary producer.
The goal was to create a fun and engaging game where the players had to work together to win.

This setup It might get unpractical for more than a handful of pages, but it comes in handy if all you need is a simple website. is databaseless, javascriptless, and buildshit-free, so you can edit your website with a text editor and upload it somewhere This page is hosted for free at Neocities, where you can use their somewhat clunky online code editor to update your site. Github Pages would be another option, here is a repository to start with. like a normal person.

Do it yourself:

  1. Download index.html and style.css
  2. Add a <section> with an id to define a new page in index.html
  3. And if you want, a link to it inside <nav>

You could also have text over here…

…or image captions
add a solid background

or go full bleed
