Freedom Dreams
For several years, Freedom Dreams was my webblog. Due to server changes it dropped offline, and I have decided not to reinstate it, since most of the information on it is in some way out of date.

CUCaTS Puzzlehunt
I've been involved with the CUCaTS puzzlehunt in 2012 and 2013.
Libreapps
Libreapps was my attempt at creating free software webapps. At it's most complete state, I had a semi-usable webmail client (that I built myself, very much inspired by GMail) and an RSS client (mostly code borrowed from another client) and single authentication system.
Unhappy with the way I'd structured things, I've tried restarting this project mutltiple times, but never got very far.
The website is currently disabled (libreapps.com redirects here).
