+This is my first daily message, posted in the afternoon rather than the morning. In the future, all fo these will be posted when I wake up.
+
+Let's do some about me.
+I use nixos with limine, ly, xmonad, qutebrowser, and nvf on the day-to-day. I program in haskell, elm, nix, and rust. Functional programming for the win! My vps is also nixos, and it's so convenient to share my home-manager config between the two!
+
+### Links
+All sites are built %100 declatatively with Nix.
+- [My rgit server](https://git.mtgmonkey.net), which hosts all my repos, including that for this site and for my pet site.
+- [My blog](https://blog.mtgmonkey.net), which you are reading now.
+- [My pet site](https://mtgmonkey.net), Elmskell, which has a Haskell Scotty backend with an Elm frontend.
