👤 About me
Hello! I am Joel, I am just a guy who likes tech, FOSS and many other things. I was born in Mexico where I still live. I am currently studying Mechatronics Engineering. Here are some quick things about me:
My username (or nickname?) comes from Chrono, which is the main character of Chrono Trigger, a JRPG released in 1995 for the SNES, it is my favorite game, I actually played it on my PSP, which I got as a gift in 2012, which was quite a year, also, 12 is the day of my birthday, so yeah, joelchrono12
. I changed it from joeligj12
, which is my Fosstodon username, because most streamers on Twitch struggle to pronounce it in English, igj
are the first letters of my full name, but Chrono is cooler.
I use Linux, and the distribution currently installed on my computer is Void Linux.
My current smartphone is using Arrow OS, as custom rom, but I switch roms from time to time. I am interested on switchin to LineageOS soon or maybe not, depending on my laziness.
I can solve a Rubik’s cube in less than 20 seconds, my record is of 9.81 seconds.
I have made some videogames using the Godot engine, but I am still not that advanced in my opinion. I have participated in around 4 game jams, some of which were successful. You can play them check them on my itch.io profile or access them directly on my front page.

This page was the result of going into Mastodon and getting inspired by the Fosstodon community to start my own blog. Here I can share my thoughts without having to give away too much of me to companies such as Google or Facebook.
I have used Jekyll to generate this site, and I use simple.css as a framework, where I have customized the style to fit my taste.
