Making, baking, and (un-)breaking things in Southeast Michigan.

About

nuxx.net is the personal website of me, Steve Vigneau, occasionally known online as c0nsumer.

I live in Southeast Michigan and like to make and do things, often focused around computers, riding bikes, and other outdoors things. Beyond my day job doing IT things for a big car company, I also like to do:

  • Computer-y things
  • Mountain, gravel, fat, and road biking
  • Making maps
  • Building and maintaining mountain bike trails
  • Home improvements and effective automation
  • Listening to music
  • Wandering around outdoors
  • Drinking coffee and eating snacks

This website exists as a place where I can dump thoughts and technical information for others to see. Some of the posts go back 20+ years and were ported over from LiveJournal.

Currently this blog, running a minimal copy of WordPress and a static Technical Pages (Archive), is the bulk of the site. I also maintain an archive of manuals and documentation about bicycles and parts that I’ve needed over the years, stored here to make them easier to find.

Previously the Technical Pages and (now removed) Photo Gallery were web apps, running on MediaWiki and Gallery, but in mid-2020 they were archived into static HTML with the Photo Gallery was taken offline to save hosting space and reduce complexity. (How this was done: Archiving MediaWiki with mwoffliner and zimdump / Archiving Gallery 2 with HTTrack / Vibe Coded Fixes.)

For more information on my experiments with maps, take a look at trailmaps.app.
