fern!


Hi! I'm Fern (sometimes ffernn) and this is a lil site I put together to kinda collate a bunch of info about me and what I've done!

There's a navbar to the left to get around and a theme switcher at the bottom for those who prefer light mode (or just want to see the cool colour change)

Some info about this site:

  • It's pretty tiny, weighing in at just under 200kb
  • It gets a perfect Google Lighthouse score (well, almost. I get marked down for the layout shift due to hiding and showing content sections)
  • And it took me probably 3 weeks on and off to make
  • Oh and I think some regulation says that I need to let you know I use 1 cookie to store what theme you prefer for next time :>

Getting up close and personal 😳

The basics

I'm years old and I was born and live in Australia. I love making things! I do a bit of webdev, I really enjoy gamedev, I try to make music sometimes and on occasion I even make physical things :O. I've also started to do a lot of 3D archviz and VFX stuff which I'm really enjoying

Pronouns?

Quick answer: he/him or she/her

Long answer: I dunno how I came to this conclusion but I don't mind which pronouns people refer to me with. Basically just use whichever ones you want lol. Obviously that won't work for people who don't know me too well, so if you're not sure just use he/him. For more information check out my pronouns.page.

Gender Identity

Right. So I'm genderfluid, which means my gender isn't fixed. Sometimes I lean more towards male, sometimes female, sometimes both or neither. WebMD has an alright article that explains things a bit better than I can, but then again it's not super complicated and as I said, I don't mind how you see my gender or how you refer to me :>

Web thingies

This website! (does that count? idk).

The goal of this site was to be a kind of portfolio for stuff I do, and also I just wanted to make a website

I somehow got an idea in my head that I wanted it to be as small as possible and so I sacrificed a whole lot of maintanability to make it all in one page. I got a lot of help from my friends so thx for that :)

Chargd

|| UPDATE OCT 2023: this isn't actively being worked on for the forseeable future sorry || I'm working on this with my friend Bucketfish, the plan is for it to be a social media where the 'posts' are only when you charge or unplug your phone. In some small testing it's quite fun and it becomes a tiny little blog e.g. "Just got home from school 😮‍💨" or "oh no forgot to plug in my phone last night!" There's a lot of work to go, but I hope it comes to fuition.

SaveCodr

A VERY work in progress save code generator for some games. At the moment it only works for Idle Breakout

Again, got a couple things WIP that I hope to put here, I'll keep this page updated.

Unnamed music social app

I am currenly working with a team as part of the Sydney Uni Computer Science High School Fellowship Program on a social app that allows users to find new music and people using visual maps of how they and others interact with songs and musicians.

It's being developed with NodeJS, HTMX, PostgreSQL, and TailwindCSS, and will hopefully be finished by the end of 2023.

♫ Music ♫

The synth, Hector

A funky song I made for a music class once, the name is just the first thing that popped into my head. (No, I don't know anyone called Hector and no, it's not a reference)

Fern's panpipes

A tiny tune I made using only kids' instruments. I have a "making of" video on my channel

aaaaaa - Island Song

A cover I arranged and mixed of Island Song from Adventure Time with some friends

Wow there's not much here. I plan to fill this list some more, but I'm very bad at finishing projects so who knows :/
