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
