WELCOME

Congratulations you have found my hidden corner of the internet. This is where I keep all my fun little projects and ideas tucked away nicely for safe keeping. Use the tabs above (or keys 1–5) to browse.

Quick Start

Start with Projects for the serious stuff, then take a detour through Fun Stuff for whatever my brain decided was important at 2am.

HTML/CSS Physics Games Writing

Site Notes

Built in plain HTML/CSS/JS, no framework. You can turn each tab into a real page later.

PROJECTS

The stuff I’m proud of — code, sims, writeups, tools, and anything else that escaped the lab.

Stellar Nursery

Set a mass and a composition and watch a 1-D hydrostatic solver decide what you built. It integrates the structure equations, shoots on central density and temperature until the model has the mass you asked for and its burning balances what it radiates, then names the result — star, brown dwarf, white dwarf, or a ball of metal that never lit.

Fermi's Forge

A particle collider and a nuclear beamline you play like a game. Start with a proton and a neutron, smash them together, and fire whatever comes out at whatever else you have — chasing every particle in the Standard Model, then every element, then all 3 339 known isotopes. Each collision is simulated, not looked up: cross sections, thresholds, string fragmentation, evaporation and real decay data, drawn as tracks curling through a bubble chamber.

changelog /var/log/site.log
[2025-10-22]
Domain acquired. Claimed a little slice of the internet.
[2025-10-30]
DNS migrated (8 days after acquisition). The name now points somewhere real.
[2025-11-15]
First inklings of the homepage. Layout experiments begin.
[2025-12-19]
Retro CRT homepage + tabbed navigation shipped.
[2025-12-23]
Refactored the homepage into a reusable layout + CSS wrapper. Learned (again) that refactors are never simple, and that unsaved files do not, in fact, compile.
[2026-09-08]
Restyled the whole site as a late-80s CRT terminal: phosphor palette, scanlines, a green/amber toggle, and none of the leftover scaffold copy.
[2026-09-08]
Stellar Nursery mk.1. Set a mass and a composition, and a 1-D hydrostatic solver works out what you built — star, brown dwarf, white dwarf, or a ball of metal that never lit.
[2026-09-09]
Travel Log mk.1. Pick a continent, hover a country, and the map tells you when I was there — the places I have actually been glow a step brighter than everywhere I have not.
[2026-09-09]
Changelog now writes itself — any commit tagged for it shows up here on the next deploy, datestamped.
[2026-09-14]
Travel Log absolved of gluttony. It used to spend a deploy token on every single trip logged — eighteen in one evening — and now publishes them in one batch, so the deploy allowance lives to see the end of the month.
[2026-10-04]
Fermi's Forge replaces Project B: start with a proton and a neutron, smash them together, and fire whatever comes out at whatever else you have, chasing every particle in the Standard Model and then every element. Nothing is looked up — every collision is simulated, and drawn as tracks curling through a bubble chamber.

FUN STUFF

Experiments, toys, screenshots, tiny essays, and whatever else the goblin in my head demanded.

Mini Experiments

Links to small interactive demos, weird math notes, or game mods.

Media Shelf

A place for favorite books, games, films, and the occasional rant written with love.

Lists Reviews Clips

The Iskavell Archive

Everything on record about Iskavell, filed and cross-referenced.

PERSONAL

Notes, updates, and the human part behind the projects. Keep it as private or public as you like.

Cooking

Cooking is one of the main ways I slow my brain down and do something real with my hands. I care a lot about technique, ingredients, and the quiet satisfaction of making something from scratch — whether that’s comfort food at home or more deliberate, chef-driven dishes.

Contact

Where to find me online. I don’t post everywhere, but I’m usually reachable in one form or another.

Lumi Adventures

Where Lumi has been lately: photos, a few words from each stop, and the paths of his trips traced on a map.

TRAVEL LOG

Everywhere I’ve been, one continent at a time. Pick a region below, then hover a country to see when I was there.
