  <p class="p-note">
    Hi, my name is Tom Oostveen. I am a first year student Computing Science at the University of
    <span class="p-locality">Groningen</span>, <span class="p-country-name">Netherlands</span> 🇳🇱.
  </p>

  <p>
    This started out as a quick and dirty placeholder for my domainname, but I decided "fuck it" and
    started blogging. Shoutout (I am Gen Z after all) to
    <a href="https://robertbirming.com">Robert Birming</a> for inspiring me!
  </p>

  <p>
    I am interested in the <a href="/blog/tags#indieweb">smallweb</a>,
    <a href="/blog/tags#linux">linux</a> (preferably <a href="/blog/tags#nixos">NixOS</a>), STEM/CS,
    <a href="/blog/tags#neovim">Neovim</a>, Rust, <a href="/blog/tags#emacs">Emacs</a>,
    <a href="/blog/tags#notetaking">note-taking</a>, and a tad bit of philosophy. My blog includes,
    but isn't limited to, those topics :)
  </p>

  <p>
    You can find me elsewhere through the links above, most notably I go by
    <code>@<span class="p-nickname">dtomvan</span></code> often.
  </p>

<p>Also, I've got a <a href="/blog/blogroll">blogroll</a>.</p>

  Now, let's do the 88x31 buttons thing because I'm so quirky and whimsical (credits to
