Hi, I'm Lervfo. This is my small workshop on the web: part notebook, part project shelf, part archive of things I only understood after making a mess of them first.
The site is meant to feel hand-made because it is. A little rough around the edges, easy to change, and more interested in being useful than looking like every other page on the internet.
I work offshore in Norway with sensors, ROVs, and subsea systems. It is good work, and it keeps you on your toes. Coming home to my wife, two kids, and two dogs is the best part though. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
What this place is for
This is a place for the things I want to keep around: workshop notes, small projects, links, and experiments that do not need a big platform around them. Some of it will be useful. Some of it will just be for fun.
- Projects: Things from the workshop, electronics bench, computer, or some odd overlap between them.
- Notes: Small explanations for future me, especially when something took longer than it should have.
- Links: Other corners of the web I like, want to remember, or think are worth visiting.
- Most of the site is hand-made, including the rough little assets and layout choices. I like that it feels personal instead of polished flat.
-
I still want to keep the website's data footprint under 10 megabytes. Even though the hosting plan offers 1024 megabytes (1GB) of space, the limit keeps me honest:
- Use simple pages that load quickly.
- Think before adding heavy images, scripts, or extra decoration.
- Keep the site easy to maintain when I come back to it later.
I like the older web because it felt a bit more human. This is my attempt at keeping some of that feeling alive.
The general method
Spare time usually ends up in the workshop. Woodworking, electronics, CAD, IT stuff, and whatever else has grabbed my attention that week. I jump around a lot, but the common thread is figuring out how things work.
The method is usually simple: get curious, try something, make a mistake, learn why it happened, and try again with slightly better tools or slightly more humility.
I do not mind breaking a few things along the way. That is often where the useful lessons are hiding.
Current mood
Build the thing. Keep it light. Write down what went wrong. Leave enough breadcrumbs that the next version is easier to make.
