I'm a longtime computer enthusiast and professional programmer. I've been hacking, programming, and tinckering since I was twelve.

This is my personal home on the internet. Here you'll find information about projects I am working on, interesting findings, guides, useful tools and software. In short, things I find interesting as well as worth sharign with others.

I am a fan of the internet before it became ad-optimised and AI-generated. I feel where we lost the plot is around 2015-ish. I am particularly fond of the time around 2000 and 2010. This is where most of my best experience online lives.

So this site and what I do in general is both a nostalgic look at the past and what worked well as well as a look forward and how we can leverage what we have learned to make the internet and software a little less hostile and a little more personal.
