The Adventures of a Lazy Researcher

A short about meeeeee


As the heading states, I'm a lazy researcher aka the_lr. This site is a space to catalogue some of assignments for class that inspired it. Hopefully it won't gather rust like the other projects sitting around on my shelf of things, oh the joys of ADHD! I've been within the realm of technology for decades now. The first computer I ever laid hands on was a an old IBM workstation for speech therapy class, practicing typing and playing games with my therapist that helped me adapt to my disability. An experience I would credit to my avid love of technology over the years.

Something I've come to realize, is that it's actually really hard to make a personal space. How do I stylize it? What works? What doesn't work? How do I work through the anxiety of posting something up on the internet that's representative of me, that can be viewed as a meh place? It's hard coping with that fear and anxiety of the "what if?" So this is my space to cope with that general anxiery in life.

An index of interesting projects:


About the content of the site:


  • EXIF has been stripped from the images by taking screenshots of the originals at non-standard dimensions. I'm looking at you Apple with your Run Time Since Power Up.
  • Whois registration records have been redacted by the Namehosting service. At the moment this is Cloudflare - which has its own major issues - and it will hopefully be remedied in the coming weeks.
  • Robots.txt hasn't been generated so that search providers are unlikely to index the contained works of the site.

To be hopefully handled:

  • Finish the rest of the main tabs!!!!!!!!!
  • Tweak fonts
  • Plan a photo pre-processing pipeline
  • Check changelog before looping to next release window
  • Aggregate post on clearing caches/cookies when HDT
  • Puzzle 2
  • Set script import tags with referrerpolicy
  • Mirror to gemini and setup noscript callout
  • Deploy pipeline for ip2location workflow
  • Research and deploy php query workflow w sqlite
