+**Why Venomade?**
+
+> **“Venomade”** comes from [a song I quite like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCNa2JzsVKU).  
+> I picked it because it rolls off the tongue easily enough, it’s not entirely unique but it’s still memorable, and most importantly it's *`.com`* domain was available.
+
+**Which programming languages do you use?**
+
+> I started programming in **Javascipt** and **Python** at school. I then discovered **Go** in 2018 and it quickly became my favourite programming language. Learning Go inspired me to work with **C**. In order to program more efficiently in C, I studied **Haskell**, which flowed nicely into programming **Rust**.
+>
+> Nowadays however, I prefer to stick with **C** because it's where I feel most comfortable, though I have been enjoying **Lua** as of late.
+
+**What Music do you listen to?**
+
+> I listen to quite a wide range of genres so instead, here are some artists I particularly like:
+>
+> - Tatsuro Yamashita
+> - Masayoshi T akanaka
+> - Night Tapes
+> - modest by default
+> - Hallowed
+> - Буерак
+> - Источник
+> - Terno Rei
+> - Tim Maia
+> - Legião Urbana
+>
+> I have purchased albums from most of the above artists and keep lossless digital copies in my collection. I do not stream music.
+
+**What setup do you use?**
+
+> I used to use a T440P but the battery life and power consumption along with the lackluster performance unfortunately became too much of a burden to bare in 2025 so I finally upgraded and picked up a Macbook. I still maintain the T440P was however, the last truly great laptop. No matter how amazing Apple Silicon is, there is nothing that hurts me more than glue and solder.
+>
+> **Hardware:**
+> - Macbook Pro
+>   - M1 (8 core CPU + 8 core GPU)
+>   - 16GB Ram
+>   - 1440p Screen
+>   - 512GB SSD
+>   - Touchbar™
+> - Feker Alice 80 Keyboard
+> - Deft Pro Trackball Mouse
+>
+> **Software:**
+> - MacOS
+> - Kitty
+> - Emacs
+> - Orion
+
+**Can I copy your configs?**
+
+> Sure! You can find my current dotfiles here:
+> [dotfiles](https://git.venomade.com/dotfiles)
+>
+> I also have an archive of my old dotfiles here:
+> [dotfiles-archive](https://git.venomade.com/dotfiles-archive)
+
+**Why does your website look so ~old/ugly~ cool/fashionable?**
+
+> While I enjoyed writing my old website in pure HTML, it made it quite cumbersome to update. I wanted something that was easier to update but I didn't want to make JS a hard requirement so this iteration of the site is generated by Hugo.
+>
+> Like my old site, It keeps most of it's advantages over modern websites:
+> - It uses no JavaScript
+> - Loads superfast (even on dial-up)
+> - Can display fully almost anywhere!
+>
+> but now also:
+> - Generates HTML from Markdown
+> - Doesn't bug out
+> - Supports both **English** and **Português**
