About Me
Hi and welcome to my little corner of the www. I'm someone who got started in computing with 8-bit machines and BASIC, then moved on to 16-bit with an A500 and AMOS, and later found myself buried in UNIX manuals and C code.
I've been a programmer for decades and was one of the early pioneers of dynamic web development back in the late 90s, when the web was still uncharted territory, not the packaged product it is today.

About This Site
This site is my personal page, and it's a page like the ones we used to make back in the day, when websites were hand-coded instead of built with templates and frameworks. There are no algorithms, no sophisticated responsive design, no infinite scrolling. It's a "desktop-first" page, although you can still view it on a mobile.
Here I publish my projects, ideas, and stuff about UNIX, programming, retro computing, and electronics. Operating systems you can read, understand, and break. Code that fits in your head. Circuits you can build on your desk. Old machines that still have a lot to say. I have more interests, so you’ll probably find more topics like philosophy, literature, art, and so on.
This site is not a blog, nor a social network, nor a personal brand. It's a living archive of ideas, experiments, projects, and obsessions. It's not meant to be modern or to sell you anything. It aims to be useful, clear, and honest.
Contact
Constructive comments and contributions are more than welcome. You can find me by email (check the address inside my PGP key), on Libera.chat under the nickname "lfa" and on Mastodon. I have profiles in other places but they are not active.
