About the Author
I'm Stephan, a Linux user with a passion for open-source, UI/UX design, and exploring what makes fiction work.
In my spare time, I focus on (and write about):
- Programming (mainly in Python and Rust)
- Retrocomputing (mostly DOS but, as of January 2023, I also own a machine running Mac OS 9.2)
- Reading and Reviewing Fiction
- The odd bit of UI/UX design or literary theory

Smarter Feed Reading
For a while, one of the biggest time-wasters I had at my disposal (a bad thing for a person with A.D.D. and a penchant for procrastination) was syndication feeds. Obviously, that’s no longer the case or I wouldn’t be writing … Continue reading
