Personal information is disclosed on a "care to know" basis: put simply, if you care enough, you know.
I can be best reached via Signal. You will need to figure out the correct number yourself. Truth be told, it's not that hard.
Lower priority communications should go to my email at "simon" on this server. Messages coming from me are always signed with a PGP key with the ID 0xF76BA194. You are welcome to sign or encrypt your messages if you so choose, but it's not necessary in order to have the messages received.
The previously used PGP key with the ID 0x5910CF33 has been depreciated as of 2020-07-29 and will never be used again.
You can add my public key to your keyring by executing the following command:
gpg --recv-keys F76BA194

Do not try to contact me there. It will not succeed.
I sometimes write music. Some of it is actually good enough to publish.
Doom the Roguelike: The Album (2010-2012)
I sometimes make software, usually to satisfy a particular personal need. A few of the more universally useful examples are published.
Mirrors of the repositories are kept on GitHub and GitLab, though those are not guaranteed to always be up-to-date.
A Gemini CGI script implementing a shared task list.
A Gemini CGI script implementing a payment processing proxy (paywall).
A statistics and trends calculator for Harsh
A tab-completing transaction entry assistant for Beancount with an fdisk-like command prompt.
Beancount: Text-based accounting
A user profile discovery tool for the fediverse.
A crude, deficient, bug-ridden reimplementation of cron. Well, not really. Actually, it's a reverse task scheduler.
A set of gameplay modifications for DoomRL Arsenal.
DoomRL Arsenal on ZDoom forums
DoomRL Arsenal Special Boss Music Patch
Replaces the music tracks for special bosses in DoomRL Arsenal with tracks from the DoomRL soundtrack.
A PGP-enforcing newsletter implementation.
A visual hash generator for generating visually appealing, milti-colored, immediately recognizable icons from arbitrary data.
A bare-bones Bitcoin Cash address watcher and notifier.
A self-hosted, 0-confirmation, trustless Bitcoin Cash point-of-sale server. As since other, superior solutions have appeared, it is presently only interesting for educational purposes.
I sometimes write short stories. Some of them survive the test of time, and a few are available in several languages.
Woe is the overly talented actor, for he will never!
Every journey has its beginning and its end, and that end is the return home.
Detective Jacob Smithers is assigned to a complicated murder case. As new evidence is uncovered, it becomes apparent that this case can not and, indeed, WILL not have a simple solution. Who killed the woman in question? Where is the murderer hiding? What other crimes has he committed? And, most importantly, how much will it all cost the taxpayers?
This is not malice. This is not spite. This is not a grudge against the entire world. This is his job; And he does it well.
Any functional society depends on everyone doing their part. We aren't monsters or anything; And Victim Rights aren't only there to protect those, who have become a victim.
У каждого путешествия есть своё начало и свой конец; и конец этот есть возвращение домой.
Через пустыни, через леса, через заброшенные города, к одной цели, одному назначению, одному концу, медленно, неизбежно, неумолимо. Это его судьба. Его предназначение. Его рок.
Детективу Джейкобу Смитерсу поручено весьма запутанное дело. По мере обнаружения новых улик становится ясно, что дело не может и не будет иметь простого решения. Кто убил женщину? Где убийца скрывается? Какие ещё преступления он совершил? И, что самое главное, во сколько это обойдётся налогоплательщикам?
Это не ненависть. Это не злоба. Это не затаённая обида на весь мир. Это его работа; И он делает её хорошо.
Любое функциональное общество зависит от добросовестного исполнения каждым членом его обязанностей. Мы не какие-то там чудовища; А Права Жертвы не только покрывают непосредственные права того, кто уже стал ею.
...Но прежде всего и превыше всего, помните: во всём есть своя светлая сторона. Благодаря этому мы здесь, благодаря этому обеспечен уровень нашей жизни, и не дай вам Бог забыть об этом даже на мгновение!
На краю неизбежной, разрушительной битвы, среди сомнений и терзаний, Генерал спрашивает совета у верного Советника. Но совет этот окажется не тем, который он ожидал и на который надеялся. Ясно одно: события этой битвы войдут в историю и станут основой культурного наследия человечества, величайшего эпоса всех времён, пусть и не дословно и не без искажений.
