About page for Boxwox.com

This domain name is derived from two words. The word box represents a computer and the word wox is an older word meaning wax. Putting wax on your computer is not recommended but this is how the name was born. It's short, easy to remember, and has only a few syllables. Along with those perks, it has tangential relevance to topics found here (often computer-based). This domain is not for sale.

The purpose of this site is to store snippets of reference data and to share original research with others. If you ever see something not working on this website, you may have caught me editing files, you can bet that it will be resolved as I continue working on it. There are not currently plans to monetize this site or place ads on it. The predominant server-side language used to build this site is PHP. The predominant client-side technologies used to build this site are HTML, CSS, SVG, and Javascript.

Information from other sources will include a reference to the source (when possible). Original content will not contain a reference to an outside source, naturally. All images on this website using SVG are hand-coded SVG. If you see my graphics used elsewhere, know that they were pilfered from this website. My goal is to keep as many images in SVG as possible. This is a custom website, not using any frameworks, and is optimized to improve the loading speed of pages while sparingly using bandwidth. Media queries allow the design to mold itself to mobile formats but the core audience of a site like this is expected to be a laptop or desktop user who is researching or multitasking.

Website content is owned and managed by one Senior Web Developer. Updates are made as time allows. If you need to contact the webmaster you'll find contact information on the Contact page.

None. Get ready for an unpopular opinion. You can handle it.
Modern social media is not healthy. The original concept of social media was sharing personal, marketable information at the expense of security along with no payment for such marketable data. Weaving both together concerned me enough to avoid creating those accounts, long ago. Time passed. What I see most often (from the periphery) is popularity contests, liquor obsession/worship, and political virtue signaling along with attention seeking behavior meaning the pitch for it hasn't improved (from it initially being a trade of security and personal data for a broadcast platform). It ticks every danger dot on the largely liquid meatbag atop my physical form, so no.
Ultimately, my time is better spent learning new things or exploring rather than being involved with that crowd. Calm down, I'm not calling all social media users plebs -- I do visit sites like imgur for memes (because I'm not a robot). Just be aware I'm using different nicknames on all sites so resemble more closely a social moth than a social butterfly favoring throwaway accounts because... we should always remember... the points mean [whispers] nothing.
