 # About
+
+Puercito Fiction is a series of creative projects linked from this same
+homepage. For now, that is mainly web comics. The first of which is 
+[She's Perfect, Actually!](https://shes-perfect-actually.puercito.net),
+a slice-of-gag strip following two silly ladies in a relationship.
+Really, one web comic.
+
+The person behind it all is happily hiding behind a curtain. Please pay no
+attention them.

+# "What are you up to now?"
+
+This page describes what I am currently up to. You can find other
+"Now" pages on [nownownow.com](https://nownownow.com).
+
+> Updated on Thursday, 20th of November, 2025
+
+# Getting Started
+    
+I am doing the preparation for Puercito Fiction: setting up the website(s), signing up for accounts,
+figuring out a publishing workflow, etc. 
+
+Once all that is settled, I will focus on sharing what I am working on. By that, I mean more word-of-mouth stuff (e.g. family/friends, group chats, small
+communities).
+
+# Comics
+
+I am publishing [She's Perfect, Actually!](https://shes-perfect-actually.puercito.net), a gag web comic about
+a couple of silly ladies in a relationship. 
+
+This is moreso practice for getting into the regular habit of planning, drawing, and sharing entries on a regular basis. That said,
+I do like the idea of the strip morphing into something a little more narrative driven and even experimental
+at some point. For now, I am keeping things focused by making one strip per week. This is the easiest way to 
+manage with a day job consisting of weird hours and other hobbies I have outside this site.
+
+## Eventually
+
+I will be putting out a proper, narrative web comic. The current conundrum is figuring out which one. I am caught
+between two ideas:
+
+* A dramedy about a college freshmen who finds herself navigating life after they inexplicably being turned into a boy.
+* A parable about a widow being banished from her village in post-Crusades Greece and being tormented by an unseen pursuer.
+
+This being the internet, I wager which one of these would be more interesting to folks. Neither premise is intended to be 
+particularly long-lasting. Though, I am aware how infamous such intentions are for webcomics. That is why I am carefully
+planning ahead. 
+
+These stories will be told vignette style, I reckon. Time is a precious thing and I want to tell the parts I care about.
+
+This is all to say that both stories will be told! It is just a matter of which order and when. Watch this space.
+
+# Planning
+
+As you may have guessed, I have a lot on my mind for what to deliver. Write now I'm creating outlines and schedules. 
+Pretty soon I will be executing!
+
+# Philosophy
+
+I, like many people, am completely over platforms. Thus, I am striving to use smaller alternatives, ideally local.
+Where I can, I am self-hosting solutions. For everything else, I am producing it myself. 
+
+More than anything, I am harkening back to a time where the internet was more informal, less important, and less 
+disruptive. A tad naive, but its a nice thought.

+# Projects
+
+Outside of comics, I have a some things going on. More creative stuff, mostly technical.
+
+# Witch Seasoning 
+
+I have been working on writing a novel. Actually, I have the first draft completed. 40% of its content has been
+cut down from a word total of 130K words. Now I am onto the revising the work independently: consolidating plot
+points, refining language, etc. 
+
+Once I am onto a second draft, I think I'll open up expressions of interest for beta readers. Watch this space!
+
+# Sunday
+
+Sunday is a convenient website template for webcomics. It does _all_ the things.
+If you want to know in detail what it offers, checkout the [readme](https://git.puercito.net/mi/sunday).
+Though, you're probably better off seeing it in action with [She's Perfect, Actually!](https://shes-perfect-actually.puercito.net)
+
+This project was born from a need to have easily replicated features for my (eventual) web comics. Originally,
+I was going to use [Rarebit](https://rarebit.neocities.org/). But when I found myself tinkering the code, I 
+found I was practically rewriting the whole thing. So, I started from scratch. It is still a wonderful tool, 
+though! Far friendlier to beginners than Sunday is, if I'm being honest.
+
+# puercito.net
+
+I consider the management of this site (and all subdomains) a project in and of itself. It's all sitting on a virtual machine where I manually
+configure all the things. That's a heap of responsibility this day in age when you consider how many platforms automate 
+this stuff on your behalf. But I don't want to deal with them!
+
+btw, the source code for this particular page is [open source](https://git.puercito.net/mi/hola).

+# "What do you use?"
+
+It's always fun to see what tools other folks are using. This is my
+page to do the same. What you see is what I use for my various projects. 
+
+> Updated on Thursday, 20th of November, 2025
+
+# Art
+
+For all of my digital drawing and painting, I use Procreate for iPad with an Apple Pencil. _Surprise, surprise._ Currently, I am 
+getting used to the [Comic Junkies Toolkit for Procreate](https://www.retrosupply.co/products/comic-junkies-toolkit-for-procreate)
+by RetroSupply Co.
+
+I _do_ have a [Huion Kamvas Pro 16](https://store.huion.com/au/products/kamvas-pro-16?srsltid=AfmBOop330FPZUb_-0OODk4V3Et1I4l8Fow6zcyjevSchmh_xz1M-rGy)
+that I should be using (nice find from Facebook Marketplace). But my ambition to build a new desk
+is in the way of that. I will probably start using [Krita](https://krita.org/en/) once that is finally done.
+
+My physical painting is done with either oil paints or gouache. 
+
+## Anti-AI
+
+It is by no means bulletproof, but [Glaze](https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/index.html) by the University of Chicago 
+is a promising tool for protecting images for AI training. Hopefully this paves the way for future platforms 
+that are more effective.
+
+# Technical Stuff
+
+## This Website
+
+It's actually just an HTML website. _However,_ the page content is 
+generated from Markdown. The execution is done through a lil' Python
+script. 
+
+## The Comics
+
+My comics are served via a custom template, [Sunday](/projects.html#sunday). 
+The source code are stored is stored in my own [Gitea](https://about.gitea.com) instance. 
+Images and other assets are tracked with [Git LFS](https://git-lfs.com/).
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+Getting technical, everything under `puercito.net` is hosted in a virtual machine over at [BinaryLane](https://binarylane.com.au).
+The sites are proxied on [Traefik Proxy](https://traefik.io/traefik), served through [Docker](https://docker.com). 
+[BunnyCDN](https://bunny.net/) distributes the content globally with included anti-DDoS. My domains are purchased through
+[Namecheap](https://namecheap.com) who provides identity privacy. Their [PrivateEmail](https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/) 
+is a cost-effective solution. 
+
+I access the infrastructure with [TwinGate](https://www.twingate.com/), a really simple VPN-like thingy.
+
+## Code
+
+I subscribe annually to [JetBrains](https://www.jetbrains.com/). Mostly, PyCharm is the IDE I spend my time in
+since that is my preferred platform. Occasionally I find myself in WebStorm. I don't do so much actual writing
+of code so much as handing my requirements to [Claude Code](https://www.claude.com/product/claude-code) for 
+execution. 
+
+> To be **absolutely** clear, I _only_ use Claude for technical work!
+
+## Software
+
+My writing is done in [Scrivener](https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview). My works are backed up
+to a free-tier DropBox account. Google Drive is where I store everything.
+
+The newsletter is handled through [PencilBooth](https://pencilbooth.com/), a provider specifically tiered to visual artists.
+
+I use a self-hosted instance of [Wekan](https://wekan.fi/) for the limited task management I do. 
+
+YouTube is where I go to listen to ambient stuff while working on my projects. I am particular fan of 
+[Aurora Heaven](https://www.youtube.com/@aurora.heaven18). Them is some vibes.
+
+## Hardware
+
+My laptop is a 2024 MacBook Pro 13" with an Apple M4 processor, 24GB memory. It usually sits on my lap. When I am
+at my desk, I use my Logitech [POP Keys](https://www.logitech.com/en-au/shop/p/pop-keys-wireless-mechanical) and 
+[POP Mouse](https://www.logitech.com/en-au/shop/p/pop-wireless-mouse) gifted to me for Valentine's Day. I have a single
+external monitor (not counting the Huion). The laptop sits closed and slotted into a timber stand I hand-made. Why yes, 
+I am not a multi-monitor person.
+
+For focusing, I have a pair of [Sony WH1000XM3](https://store.sony.com.au/archived-headphones-noisecancelling/WH1000XM3B.html)
+Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones (White) to block out (external) distraction. The pads wore after several years of use. So, 
+I installed some [replacements from Amazon](https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CTR2NKJS).
