Why Άνδρος (Ándros)?

Saint Andrew Saint Andrew, the Apostle: The First-Called.

I don't really use this nickname a lot, or at least do not refer to myself as Ándros, but I still like it, and decided to use it for my website. Through my life, I've used many internet nicknames, but I've never been completely happy with any of them. For my previous website I wanted something a little more serious. Although this is a little ironic as now in this current site I use my real name. I still like to explain why Ándros though.

Look, I know no greek, so I could be messing some of this stuff, alright? Correct me if I'm wrong.

The thing is, I have two names (kinda common in México), one of them is Andrés, or Andrew, which is Άνδρος, (ancient greek for Ándros).

Ándros, Andrew, Andrés, Andreas, etc.... is a proper masculine name of greek origin, it means man just like that; as the opposite of a woman. While human could be referred to as άνθρωπος, ánthropos, ανθρώπου, anthrópou.

The meaning of Ándros in greek could be understood as a man with an incredible power, manly, brave, virile, strong, and a warrior.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

I believe I am none of theese things. But I strive to become them one day, and remembering the meaning of my own name empowers me, inspires me, and gives me strenght.

Website

I built a very simple and ugly website for a college assignment in my Databases course. It was just super basic HTML.

Some years later, while doing CS50 (Harvard's Intro to Computer Science), I was assigned to make a website using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I managed to get some really basic stuff that got the job done, but I was far from happy with the results. So after browsing some Webrings, I decided to put a little more effort into this and try to build something better.

My previous website was built on July 2023. It featured some kind of internet persona to fit right into a webring. I liked that. It was like being part of a club. It was powered by Hugo. At first, I tried to use a custom theme that I shamelessly copied from sizeof(cat). Their theme was, in place, based on another theme so apparently what I was trying to do was modify an already modified theme. It was a mess though, as I did this without being familiar enough with Hugo, or designing websites in general. This wasn't Sizeof(cat)'s problem or fault though, I take the blame completely on me. After some days of trial and error, and many frustrations, I started from scratch using another theme. The website ended up using the LoveIt theme.

After a couple years, in April 2025, I decided to switch to a more "serious" website, in which I included my real name, to be used along my networks, like LinkedIn. I completely deleted my web server and started a new site from zero, without copying anyone's configuration. Except well, the theme. This site is using the pretty Hugo-Classic theme. I really like the vibe or aesthetic it gives. I still haven't decided wheter to copy all of my old posts into this new site or start everything from zero. We'll see.

I am STILL getting used to Hugo and everything webdev related so I consider this to still be a work in progress. Still, I hope you enjoy your stay!

Static Site Generator

In May 2026, I built my own damn thing to generate the website you are seeing. You can take a look at my own Static Site Generator built in Odin.
