Year 2026

2026 – I just want peace!!!

Some parts of this year seem to feel like no one truly understands how I feel between all of these controversies, while other times feel like I’m in my prime again just like 2023. Either way, I’m trying to improve, and nothing will stop me doing what I’m doing.

At the start of 2026, I started working on a server called BlueGames with SevenZero, and this is the reason why I couldn’t really work on PortalWix 2.0. I want to release BlueGames as soon as possible to leave players with a wider range of servers to play in. Some may interpret it as a betrayal for Abo3leesh and Sleman, but I will never do this. I just want to release BlueGames as soon as possible and get working on both PortalWix 2.0 and BlueGames. All I want to do be is a general developer in many servers. This caused some issues between me and Abo3leesh as he didn’t have some problems with SevenZero in the past. So yes, I was involved in more trouble.

In February 2026, SevenZero decided to open ExoticNodes as a free hosting company. I will try and help and support him, and I will post any big updates on this page as I usually do.

On the 18th of February, 2026, I revived Villager PE, but this time I have experience with PHP and the PocketMine API to begin with! I’m seriously looking forward to what’s next, and I hope to not miss out on Craftsman’s revival. You can read more here.

In March 2026, I started learning React Native basics to flexibly create web apps using React. This will give me the ability to create modern websites and apps. I decided to learn it the same way I did with PHP, because that was successful. I’ll keep you guys updated on how it goes. Around this time, peace was restored between Abo3leesh and SZ, but trust still has to be restored.

In April 2026, with the knowledge I had gained with pure PHP and Laravel web applications overtime, I started working on a new dashboard for SodiumNodes which I expect to release around June. I still want to work on learning React, and I hope to integrate it into this dashboard gradually. For now, I am focusing on making something functional.

In May 2026, I focused on my website’s and SodiumNodes’ SEO and started making changes to it. I learned all about search engine schemas and rich results and integrated it into my blog and my business, hoping this would help search engine find out who I really am and my relationship with it.

On the 15th of May, 2026, I started working on clarity for my about me by adding headings for each year to make it easier to read.

On the 17th of May, 2026, I decided it was time to separate my story into different pages, one page per year, while still maintaining the page which contains all the years. It’s just personal preference I guess. I also added a photo for each year.

Around the end of May, 2026, I managed to bring Sleman back to SodiumNodes, but this time, we both have different roles according to what we’re good at: I take care of the web development and blog, while Sleman manages the staff’s roles. Perfect teamwork if you ask me.

It’s June 2026, and I didn’t keep up with my expectations. I didn’t work on the custom dashboard for SodiumNodes, even after a few attempts with different frameworks and structures, because I feel like it’s pointless at the moment. However, I did learn a lot about SEO and this can become a huge advantage when working with SodiumNodes.

In this same month, I travelled to Milan, and I hated it. You had to pay €1.20 to take a simple piss, the train station felt like a shopping mall, you payed €15.00 for a 24 hour metro train (let me tell you, they’re very loud and creepy, especially the closing sound that the buzzer makes), a simple snack is €10, and the list goes on. That’s when I understood that the south of Italy, especially Puglia, where I live, is much friendlier and is a place I can safely call home. This made me attached to this region.

On the 13th of June, 2026, I got my first featured snippet on Google! I was really excited about this, and it certainly encouraged me. It’s a sign that all that SEO work I did in May helped.

On the 28th of June, I created a headless WordPress blog front-end using Next.js for SodiumNodes. I used Next.js specifically because I thought it would be the smoothest option for something like a blog.

After a bit of time, I started getting more of these featured snippets on Google, specifically coming from my GitHub and LinkedIn profiles.

This is exactly why, in July 2026, I’ve been spending time trying to get a Google knowledge graph for my name. I made a Crunchbase and Google Developer profile for this purpose.

Finally, on the 29th of July, 2026, Google Search Console has released the feature to add social profiles in Italy! I immediately linked my personal profiles to it, because if there’s one thing I love, it’s statistics, especially when it comes to my personal accounts.

On the 13th of August, 2026, I was doing my usual morning routine which involves checking out the Google Search Console data for SodiumNodes and my own profile, when for the first time I found my very own knowledge graph on Google! I’ve been working terribly hard to get this knowledge graph, but I finally did it! I claimed it immediately and my request got approved!

Verifying my ID and socials was a bit of a pain, but it was definitely worth it! This is a big milestone for me, and I feel like I got it quite early. I started using my real name a lot online only around June, which is also when I got my first featured snippet. I pursued it in July, and now it’s the middle of August and I have it! The next thing I need to do is wait for Google to trust my Wikidata page with all the details about me. Google already knows that it refers to me though.

On the 19th of August, 2026, I released my very own Minecraft server list named MCPE Server List! Very original name, I know. It was Mr_Eagle’s idea, but I made it all from scratch, including the logo and the whole website which took two mentally-labouring weeks. It currently still has bugs like the inability to vote or reset your password. Read more about the new MCPE Server List.

Honestly, behind the scenes, I spent half of June, July and August bonding with Whiskers, my male hamster. I also have a female hamster but she’s less friendly.

The results from this decision were incredible: Whiskers now sees me as a human instead of a predator. He knows I give him food, he plays with me by climbing on my shoulders and exploring the house sometimes, and even sleeps on me the most wholesome positions ever. All of this together made me get attached to him and I post him on my Instagram and TikTok very often.
