If you got here then congrats, this file was kind of hidden. Now heres some of my life story

I started programming stuff in 2008 at the ripe age of 9. It was in 2008 my parents found out I had Autism and ADHD.When I was in grades 4-12, really the 'complex' side of math made more sense to me than the 'easier' side of math.

I found an interest for calculus and more when I was young. I learned how to apply it in programming, and now I program stuff in HTML, JS, backend PHP, and Java (+ rarely C++) with the math I learned when I was younger. Along with that I also am now working for a doctorate in computer science. This site bhartleytcs.neocities.org is an extension of an old domain, bhartleydomain.com. That URL was created by my father in (I think) 2002. Well I was barely 3 at that time. He gave it to me when I was at the appropriate age of 12, and it was up until 2015 when I moved it here under the neocities name geoxicide. Then I created bhartleytcs.neocities.org in early June 2025, and I use it for web design tests.

I didn't really start thinking of this as net art until the art people started finding it in the 2010s. It got little recognition, but I started to get into net art, just like my father. I create this stuff because I want to. This whole thing began as a test bed for me as web design practices for E! Online, a company I worked for when I was 16 and stopped when I was 23. I am now 25 turning 26. If my father had not shown me technology at a young age, then I would not even had interest in this. And for him telling me about it, I am thankful.

Thank you for viewing and I hope you enjoy.
