    I keep a list of the weird guy home pages I find in the wild so I can check up on them.

        Check my other reply, one of them is the inventor of YAML.

        this one is one of my favorites: https://www.wussu.com/

        English dude named weed who runs the classical guitar tabs site. He's also into activism for causes like squatters rights.

        ingy.net has gotten weirder since my last visit, wingdings are now the font but most of the content seems the same, the ssl cert has expired.

        https://www.mindprod.com/ This person wrote the guide to writing unmaintainable code, a long winded comedy masterpiece. They're also into a lot of other stuff they write about, including their sexuality, politics, life being HIV+

        http://www.adrian-kingston.com/index.htm I found this guy looking up information about IR blaster protocols but I liked how he's been continually updating with his vacation photos for like 20 years.

        https://www.quarkcentral.net/home this person just writes about their theory of the universe along side their resume and tech blog.

        I find most of these people through esoteric tech blogs, almost all the guys posting their blogs that have been around for a while have other weird stuff that's worth looking at. Honestly finding these guys is one of the best reasons to browse hackernews.

        If anyone has any more cool ones I can add to my list, i'd be appreciative.
