Freedom in Simplicity: Why I Chose Blogger and a 100% Chromebook Setup

The Choice of Platform: Escaping the "WordPress Hell" When building a personal site, it’s easy to get lost in a jungle of complex systems and monthly subscriptions. I’ve chosen a different path: Blogger.com . Technically and economically, it just makes sense. By skipping traditional web hosting, I save roughly $60–$100 a year. But more importantly, I avoid the "sluggish WordPress hell." I don’t have to worry about updating plugins, patching security holes, or maintaining databases. Since Google has managed the infrastructure since 2003, the site is fast, secure, and virtually maintenance-free. My Hardware: From "Secret User" to 100% Chromebook Plus For a long time, I was a "secret" Chromebook user in my private life—it was my go-to device for the couch and travel because of its instant boot time and endless battery life. Now, I’ve taken the full leap. My Chromebook Plus is my 100% primary workstation. When I’m home, I connect it to an external...

Initial Commit: The Journey of CLIDEV

  Welcome to clidev.org. This site is the dedicated home for my experiments in terminal-based simulations. My focus is on crafting deep, logic-driven worlds where economy, life, and emergent stories unfold within the constraints of a CLI (Command Line Interface). The Tech Stack Most of my projects are built using FreePascal for the core logic and systems, with Python handling specialized scripting tasks. I believe the terminal is a powerful medium for storytelling—allowing the player's imagination to fill the gaps between the lines of text and data. What’s Next? I am currently in the process of finalizing my first major simulation game. In the coming weeks and months, I will use this blog to share: Dev-logs: Updates on the development progress. Systems Design: Insights into how the economy and life simulations are structured. Screenshots: Visual progress from the terminal. Tools: Announcements regarding the tools and binaries available at anton.clidev.org . This is a long-t...
