About
Taken since 24.03.22
I grew up on machinima-powered song parodies and whack ass internet subcultures. That’s about… Like… Halfway down the Biggus iceberg? The tip of that berg is that I’m a 20yo Media Studies student in the UK. Boom boom pow.
My art endeavors are sporadic at best, but the pen’s been in my hand since diapers so it remains the core of my being, if not through practise then by appreciation. With this, my ever-changing interest in music, games, and the audiovisual.
I use the Taterinx handle for all my social medias, so it shouldn't be too hard to find me outside neocities. In any case:
Email - Inxstagram - Twitter
"What's this site, like, actually for?"
There's no larger project underpinning the site, nor is it meant as a portfolio/marketing tool for a product. It's an Instagram profile without the Instagram. Just little passions, interests, html snippets and experimentations.
Modern social media is alright, I'll always use it to communicate with my irl social circles, but neocities is where cool kids discover other cool kids; bound by nothing but the web code repositories in our heads. It's a bit preachy but it is what it is - this site is just for me.
"Can I use your code/graphics?"
The answer is that it depends.
Most blinkies/stamps/buttons on this site were found without any credits, so there's really no repurcussions to you snagging them for yourself. I haven't really any jurisdiction on that.
Graphics that I've created for myself I'll expect some credits via a link back to this site. This includes my dithered graphics (pfp, background, etc.) and any art I may post.
Please don't steal my layouts, even if you swear on your nan's grave you'll give me credit (and even if you actually do) - it's less about the time spent to then not get credited, and more a matter of this site being unique to me.
Any snippets, however, such as the clock function, guestbook, rss journal, etc. you're free to take. Because those weren't mine to begin with. Check out my tools page where I link to the tutorials/websites used to create those.
"When will this site be finished?"
My project-related pages will probably take a couple months to create. I have a severe depression that takes a lot of energy out of me, so I won't be able to provide an ETA.
The rest of the site itself will reach an 'alpha' state once every page, including those project pages, are set up. Even then, the site will continue to change and morph. It's living, breathing.
"Why Taterinx/Biggus?"
About six years back, I just liked the sound of tater tots and had since fucked around with it for funsies as my 'official' handle: atomic-tatertot, tatertotter, tottertorii, tatersnotter; I settled with Taterinx around 2020/21 time, because it felt cooler and official-er.
Fast forward to when I watched Life of Brian and hehe'd at the Biggus Dickus joke. My real name's Victoria, so my Discord nickname for some time was Biggus Vickus. People started calling me Biggus. I thought it sounded cute.
The biggest naval gaze ever.
