If you got here then congrats, this file was kind of hidden. Now heres some of my life story
I was diagnosed early in my life with Autism and ADHD, and discovered Math and programming when I was pretty young. And so, I started programming at the ripe age of 9. My When I was in grades 4-12, really the 'complex' side of math made more sense to me than the 'easier' side of math.
With my math interests, 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. I was barely 3 at that time it was made.
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 7 years later in 2022. If my father had not shown me technology at such 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.
HISTORY
Keep in mind, most of this is according to my father because this happened before I was even born. In 1995, my father registered geoxicide.com at 25. He didnt do anything with it until 1996. He used it for web design like I would in the future. In 2002, the website moved to bhartleydomain.com and he controlled it till 2011.
I didnt really do stuff with it it until 2012 when I was learning HTML. It was pretty basic. It was random GIFS with link references. I had only learned HTML and not JS, CSS, etc at the time. It was up until 2015 or 2016 and I moved it here. I named after the original domain geoxicide. Somehow, it got deleted and I moved on from it. Now I control bhartleytcs.neocities.org, and probably will for a while unless it gets deleted.
