Magiokis main site
After I'd made several multi-instrument recordings of songs I wrote, I finally knew what to do for a personal website: set it up as the home site for a fictional band, but with a twist: the home page would suggest there is no such site.
but notice the button in the middle - it actually starts up the script to show the first page of the actual site.
To show the various aspects of me, this site was divided into a series of sections. In addition to the band pages I included several kinds of things I was (or rather: had been) doing at the time.
The versions rebuilt with PHP and CherryPy follow the same structure. From left to right:
the fictional band "The Old Whores": a couple of pages containing the band bio and track/play lists of the "albums" they released
my real life musical collaborations
more recordings of songs I'd written
Lyrics pages for all my songs
pages containing short stories
pages containing poems
pages containing plays
pages containing comic strips and cartoons
pages containing stuff of a more philosophic nature, including writings that inspired me
pages containing a very concise bio of my life up until then
When I went seriously live, I hesitated to put this all up. With no Python available I had to go back to plain HTML so I decided to just expand on the bio part (there was a lot to add) and to make it somewhat livelier I also took the idea or the band site a little further.
In this version the "serious" part is hidden behind the second button (well... link).
Later I found I could install and use Drupal in the web space I had which not only led to a blog section but also to recreating the creative sections (stories, poems, songs, plays and programming) in some way.
