Usually people make websites because they have something to say that others might want to read. This is not true in this case, and to be perfectly honest I am putting words into this file because the default tutorial I am following had something about bananas and I found that boring.
The existence of this website was entirely motivated by my realization, a couple of years ago, that Icelandic websites use the .is top-level domain, and that i and s are the only two letters missing from my usual alias mentekid. I decided it would be nice to own mentekid.is, this way complicating my already hard-to-spell name even further.
