In [my last post](/posts/site), I lamented not having a place to put
my own stuff. Today I actually took a couple minutes to register a domain, set
up DNS nonsense, and _upload_. Thus: this! Feels like I might have kinda
lost the thread re: #100DaysToOffload, but this is fun, too.

The most head-spinning part of the process was coming up with the name.
Ultimately taking the simple route, I ended up somewhere between neat and
cheesy. I also think "sagev" and "space" being the same length is odd, but
visually, I like it a lot.

The site is intended to be as small as possible, while still looking nice, and
following all accessibility guidelines. It's definitely quick to load, but
could afford a bit more polish on the second and third fronts.

I picked up the domain on Namecheap, and currently have everything hosted on
Netlify. May I never exceed the limits of a free tier! It would be cool to
self-host at some point, but as it stands, this is more than sufficient, and I
don't need to leave a computer running all the time.

I wish I had more to say about this, because having my own site feels pretty
exciting! But I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for content as it is, so
I'll just say I'm looking forward to doing more with it!
