Welcome

My name is Vivi, but you can call me vv, w (pronounced 'vee vee'), or even v if you like. I am a harmonization between a synthesizer and a pretty flower who helps it come up with variable names.

My pronouns are vae/vaem/vaer. You can refer to me in sentences like

"Vaer name is w, and vae are gay. I spoke to vaem yesterday."

If this is too confusing for you, I'm kinda disappointed. But you can use she/her instead.

nimi mi li jan Wi. mi sona lili lili e toki pona.

I do not use LLMs or other generative AI in my work, due to ethical concerns, and too much of a desire to learn and create. I believe use of these tools is ultimately detrimental to most learning, and so I prefer not to use it.

This is a test

It's rough around the edges, but theoretically this should be published automatically to the website via emacs. Though, I suspect nginx may be annoying and not refresh the cache.
