🏡 Home
Welcome to my home page.
⬇️What's here
I read a lot of books but want to turn that into a more active hobby that ties into writing in some way. So you will find a list of books I've read, and reviews of some of them.
On the software side, I've collected some notes over time on various things that interest me. They're not burned in my memory like the Emacs/readline keybindings, so I've felt the need to dump them here.

🐧About
See About for more about me. This site is built using the lovely MkDocs, a python-based static site generator. The content is written in markdown using GNU Emacs. It is hosted on Cloudflare.
🌐External Links
-
☠️My Blog - I double commit my content here too because there's times when I liked wordpress (I can post my artwork there) and times when I like this mkdocs site. Structurally I like the garden-like feel of this site more than chronological format of a blog). Abandoned, at this point.
-
☠️Asha's blog - My daughter's wordpress blog. She writes all the content, I just help with uploading images and post tagging/cateogorization.
-
☠️Siddharth's blog - My son's wordpress. I help him with choosing titles and uploading pics, he figures out the rest.
-
Books I own, on LibraryThing and GoodReads.
-
Github Profile - Mostly this site and my dotfiles.
-
☠️My Steam Profile - Not used much.
-
My TrueAchievements Profile - I'm not an achievement hunter but it tracks my Xbox progress quite well.
