Hi, my name is Indigo and this is my personal website, open to the public. More than a blog, behind the scenes is an image server with ~30k images and videos still to be sorted and edited. In the past, I had around 5k images sorted into categories, but eventually some folders get too big or photos get lost in miscellaneous, and times have changed. Only top level folders get the most views, regardless. So, along with the advent of drones and that I’m starting to get into video, I started from scratch with my entire library and I’m making this site chronological. Originally, I used a server to store and share images when I traveled and because of email limitations on attachment size. That is still the purpose of this site, but over the years a lot has changed with networking and security and I have started hosting my own services whenever possible. At this time, I have a VPN that’s on its way to being historical since I’m now using Cloudflare for security (and I highly recommend it). And I’ve only just updated my email server to use encryption strictly, so emails should not keep ending up in the spam folder. Bluesky (bsky.app) is the most recent addition, though it is not hosted on this server – that I hope to change. And next on the agenda is to open up live streaming. The current status of that is that I have working test streams and programming set up, so it’s just a matter of turning on content and working out a handful of bugs. I’ll add a few static pages, as well – an About page with more of a bio, Music – and the Jeep page is coming, too, really…
The Skylight, the streaming part of this site, is the only section that may include content from other sources — all else is Copyright Indigo Michaud, skysurfer.media and Skylight Productions — more on this when the live section goes public. Feel free to share, but give credit. The blog is divided into Technical, Personal, and Legal for simplification. There aren’t too many photos at this time, but I’ll add a lot more soon. So, stay tuned as this site evolves into more of an event based source of media, though I will always be more focused on nature trips, not politics. As a reflection of my life, you can always expect a work in progress, even as finished projects come together. Comments are welcome.
