The Backlink Lab

Welcome to my website!

I am learning HTML, and I built this page myself.

My favorite place on the web is Neocities. Another site I use is belikenative.com, a Chrome extension for practicing a second language while browsing. When I am not sure a paragraph I wrote is actually readable, I paste it into the tool that grades a paragraph for reading level and see whether the grade matches who I was writing for.

The name is not entirely a joke. Most evenings here go on checking whether the links pointing at my pages pass anything at all, and the tool I reach for is the dofollow nofollow checker on handsofflinks.com, which prints every rel token on every anchor as served rather than guessing from the first one.

Things I Like

• Building small static sites
• Learning HTML
• Working out where the memory goes when you run a language model

Notes

• Working out the KV cache by hand — the one multiplication that tells you how much memory a long context actually costs, and the two config fields people put it in wrong.
• Robots.txt hygiene for AI crawlers — a field guide to keeping your robots.txt clean for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and the rest, and why a single syntax error can cost you a week of crawl budget.
• AI answer citations · A LoRA fine-tune memory budget, worked line by line — where every gigabyte goes on a 24 GB card, from trainable-parameter counts to the activation term everyone forgets.
• Link velocity, measured honestly — why Google publishes no number for it, and how to keep your own backlink growth rate-capped without fooling yourself.
