bnied.dev

Personal website with a CRT terminal aesthetic. Visitors interact via a command prompt to explore resume content, run easter eggs, and play DOOM.

Commands

Command	Description
about	Bio and certifications
skills	Technical expertise
experience	Work history overview
experience <role>	Drill into a specific role
projects	Open-source projects
education	Academic background
contact	Email, GitHub, LinkedIn
resume	Download a PDF resume, typeset client-side from live site data (no libraries; cat resume.txt for plain text)
theme <name>	Switch color theme (green, amber, blue, high-contrast, colorblind)

lolcat	Rainbow-colorize output (best at the end of a pipe)
crt	CRT effect intensity: off / on / max (persists)
help	List all commands

Easter Eggs

Too many to list. Try some Linux commands and see what happens.

Pipes

Commands compose with | just like a real shell:

fortune | cowsay
figlet bnied | lolcat
echo hello | figlet | lolcat
cat about | cowsay
neofetch | lolcat

Pipeable commands: echo, fortune, cat <section>, figlet, cowsay, lolcat, neofetch, ls, uname, whoami, pwd, hostname, date, uptime, ps, free, df, yes, dmesg.

CRT effects

The phosphor-CRT look has three intensity levels, set with crt:

• crt off — flat, plain terminal (max readability / low power)
• crt on — default: curvature, bloom, glare, scanlines, phosphor afterglow
• crt max — adds edge chromatic aberration and an occasional sync-roll

The choice persists across visits (localStorage). All levels honor prefers-reduced-motion: animations freeze, the static look remains, and the boot sequence collapses to near-instant.

Tech Stack

• Vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript -- no frameworks, no build step
• Fira Code font
• js-dos for DOOM (self-hosted in vendor/js-dos/, loaded on demand)
• Content stored in data/*.json, logic split across ES modules in js/

Tests

Pure logic (figlet, cowsay, the pipe engine) has unit tests run by Node's built-in runner — no dependencies, no build:

node --test
