Site Description:

Site Name:  Feltrush Laundry

This site is my place to present the things I make.
I don't have much to on it right now, but I've been working on a system that lets me create and manage pages easier.  This means it kind of looks like a blog, but it's not a blog content-wise.  The idea is that when I finish a project, I can quickly write and post a new page about it, with out having to worry much about site management.

What kind of stuff would I have?

I enjoy drawing.  I draw digitally and on paper.  I hope to improve, so I put my art in my gallery.  I'm also interested in creative writing.  I've been working on stuff for the Liminal Archives wiki.  Anything I post there I will also have here.  I've made Java Sketches with Processing, and and JavaScript sketches with P5.js.  Some of which made it onto my site, and soon more will come.

My other reason for this site:

I have a project I'm doing that would benefit greatly from having a server.  The House Project / Eligotextum World is a filesystem-based interactive fiction game I'm writing in bash.  You can look at the source on Github, but I didn't include the world files in the repo.  I've had multiple people playing at the same time over an SSH connection to my computer.  I can't serve it at home because of a limited internet connection.  If I had a server, I could have more people testing it and get more feedback.

I'd be pleased if I could set up the House Project server on xepher.net.  It's easier said than done.  There are some security concerns, and I'd need another account for players to log in to over SSH.  I'm confident that I could solve the different problems that will arise if I have the chance.

Feel free to ask me any questions!

I'm sorry, but I'm not keen on hosting an ssh-based game, due to the security implications. I mean, it sounds like a cool project and all, but SSH here is tightly locked down, and accounts are tied directly to system accounts, with no provision for "anonymous" extra users or anything. There have been too many hacking attempts in years past for me to lower those restrictions.

What I would suggest you look at is the $5/month (shared-cpu) plan at Linode. Xepher.net itself is hosted there (on a larger, more expensive plan of course.) It'd let you basically get a real server of your own, and then you could do whatever you wanted with it, including hosting your SSH game and even your website.
