It's pretty new, first post was made in September of 2022. I've been going at the speed of ~1 post per month since then so I got 8 posts.

I mostly talk about stuff I've been learning about. For instance:

1. Lagrangian mechanics I [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lanlifshitz_1/notes.html] and II [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lanlifshitz_2/notes.html]

2. Group theory (solubility and symmetric groups in particular) [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/insolubility/p.html]

Besides this, I occasionally write about some of my own explorations as well; stuff that doesn't fit as neatly into a university course format:

1. Going over a random lemma from Newton's Principia [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lemma14/lemma14.html]

2. Encoding ternary logic into the lambda calculus (I previously posted on HN) [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/ternary/ternary.html]

3. Some epistemological ideas (tbh this is not very good and I intend to write a better post about this stuff soon) [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/pragsol/p.html]

I hope you guys enjoy and give me some feedback if you got some.




Hey! You have some interesting content. If you had a rss/atom feed I'd happily subscribe to it.

A comment on your site: I have to zoom to 300% on firefox to get what seems like a 'natural' view. Without this it feels like I'm viewing a pdf. This is not serious criticism, but something that bothered me a bit. Others may feel differently.


I've been wanting to add RSS to it for a while tbh but I've been consistently distracted by other things. Since classes are over I might get around to it eventually.

As for the pdf look, you're right. The problem I encountered way back when I was actually building the site was that I didn't know what to put on the extra margins. I could've put footnotes and figures, but that's pretty hard to do if you're generating the site from markdown without a custom markdown engine. I'll see what I can do about it tho, and if you have any suggestions for how I could improve this I'm all ears.


No specific advice I'm afraid - although I guess you could try just expanding the entire page and leave the margins blank?

In any case, keep on writing!
