err0r.net

Hi, I’m Mike… though online you’ll probably know me better as err0r or err0rstotle.

I’m a longtime web developer, designer, tech enthusiast, and professional breaker-of-things-until-they-work-again. err0r.net is basically my little corner of the internet where all of those worlds collide. Part personal site, part development lab, part tech blog, and part organized chaos.

A huge part of this site revolves around my custom-built platform, e-CMS. After years of fighting with bloated, restrictive, and overly complicated content management systems, I decided to stop yelling at other people’s code and start building my own. What began as a simple personal project slowly evolved into a fully featured CMS designed around flexibility, performance, customization, and actually making sense to use.

Building e-CMS gave me complete creative freedom. I wanted something that could power articles, galleries, projects, downloads, media, forums, and whatever random idea I decided to throw at it next without needing seventeen plugins and a sacrifice to the caching gods. The system continues to evolve as I keep adding features, redesigning components, and experimenting with new ideas.

But err0r.net is more than just code.

This site is also where I write about the things that interest me, usually with a mix of humor, sarcasm, and “why is the internet like this now?” energy. One day it might be a rant about VPN bans, age verification systems, or Microsoft deciding your perfectly fine PC is “too old.” The next day it might be Linux, chat networks, web culture, online privacy, retro internet nostalgia, or some weird tech rabbit hole I fell into at 3AM and decided everyone else needed to hear about too.

I’ve always believed the internet was better when sites had personality. Before everything became five giant social media platforms pretending to be the entire web. err0r.net is my attempt to keep that older spirit alive while still building modern, useful, and creative things.

Outside of development, I spend a lot of time working on chat-related projects, custom web applications, UI/UX concepts, automation systems, and generally overengineering things that probably could have been simple. But where’s the fun in simple?

Whether you’re here for the articles, the projects, the CMS work, the nostalgia, or just because you accidentally clicked a weird link somewhere… welcome.
