Links
Herein lie links to websites of various people and project that I have (for
some reason) found interesting and worth a look, so please, do take that look;
perhaps you’re going to like some of them!
JadedCtrl
JadedCtrl is a programmer who, from time to time, develops nifty
free programs, projcts, or services – I have especially liked her
file hosting program
‘distribute-coin’.
She’s also written several interesting articles covering various,
not only technical topics, in English and Esperanto. If you like
handcrafted website, the one on
Cowsay and
Rewarding HTML, on its own, is a pretty nice read.
Seremel Tenno
Seremel is an autor of short stories in Esperanto, English and
Russian. Aside of some literary tidbits painting ordinary scenes in unusual
light, she’s written several love-flavoured stories with fantasy
elements. Her English writing has some
nice world-building
pieces released into the public domain, so take a look if that strikes
your fancy.
Citrine
Citrine is a general-purpose, localised scripting language, allowing you to
write scripts in your native language. It’s also very simple and purely
object-oriented, all of which can make it very comfortable to use! If that
sounds good to you, check it out; just know that it’s not yet very mature or
polished, and that most languages have been machine-translated. But it
welcomes translations and holds a lot of potential.
GNUnet
GNUnet is an ambitious project aiming to create a free, alternative network
stack for building peer-to-peer applications, paving the way to a new
internet, one that’ll be more respectful of our privacy. What sets it apart
from other projects in my eyes is the focus on security by default, the deep
care for user freedom (typical of the parent
GNU project) and the
apparent expertise of its authors.
There are some issues
waiting to be solved before using GNUnet is likely to become practical, but
it looks promising. If you’d like to help, you should know it’s written in
C, but also modular, so it doesn’t have to be.
