About This Site

This site is a tiny collection of things I want to share with anyone who wants to see it. My early web forays included Neopets, GeoCities, and LiveJournal. I like that there is no one right way to write code in order to achieve the same result, yet precision is important: things will break if there is a single dot missing. I'm happy that there has been a revival of the personal web, and glad to find others who created websites as a form of expression and rebellion against the commercialised web.

My email is rini@tutamail.com just in case. Thanks for visiting!

Trivia About Me

I was born and raised in Malaysia, a tropical country with daytime temperatures above 30°C year-round. I've visited other countries but never lived anywhere else, the farthest (that I have memory of) being Canada, the most “foreign” being Russia. My mother had a hand in educating people on the nationwide adoption and use of computers and the Internet in the early 90s; writing articles and books, giving talks, and appearing on local TV.

Below is an old snippet from 2018 of me playing my viola while a thunderstorm raged outside.

I'm an ISFJ which makes me a great support character. My favourite books up to my early 20s were children's classics and young adult fantasy fiction, such as The Secret Garden and Tuck Everlasting. More recently, I've enjoyed The Blue Castle and Sherlock Holmes. Check out some everyday objects that improved my quality of life.

Neighbours And Outlinks

If you've ever found that your bows tend to come undone and they look like in the picture, Professor Shoelace explains why. TLDR: The starting and ending knots need to be opposite of each other to create balance, so if you start left over right, tie the finishing bow right over left.
