Welcome!

Hello! I'm Jessica, and welcome to Jessica Journals, to my little home on the internet! A cartoon image, from the shoulders up, of a curly brown haired white woman wearing glasses, a purple top, and gray dungarees. Behind are large stripes in black, gray, white and purple, with faint stars.

This is a website where I write about various interests of mine, mostly involving various aspects of techonology including self hosting, productivity and applications.

The content has been organised into a series of rooms, as if this website were a house. You can click on “Rooms” in the navigation bar above to find out more about the rooms and what is inside of them.

Lastly, “Recent Changes” of the last ten updated posts has been listed below.
