  11 <h2>Computers</h2>
  12 <p>My <a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> ThinkPad X200
  13 computer is the machine I use the most and where I do most of my
  14 computing.  I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of
  15 servers through our school's
  16 <a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a> that I
  17 use for some more computationally intensive tasks every now and again,
  18 and also for hosting this very website.</p>

  20 <h2>GNU/Linux distribution</h2>
  21 <p>I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since
  22 found <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a> to be my favourite
  23 and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me.  Sometimes I pair it
  24 up with <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a>.  For the kernel,
  25 I usually use
  26 <a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU
  27 Linux-libre</a> from jxself's
  28 <a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>

  30 <h2>Actual computing</h2>
  31 <p>I spend most of my time in
  32 <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
  33 <p>TODO: elaborate</p>

  35 <h2 id="colophon">Maintaining this site __anc(`colophon')</h2>
  36 <p>I took a great amount of inspiration
  37 from <a href="https://technomancy.us/colophon">technomancy</a>'s
  38 setup.  The pages of this site are written in plain HTML using GNU
  39 Emacs, with GNU M4 acting as a full-featured template engine.
  40 A <a href="__p/GNUmakefile"><code>GNUmakefile</code></a> provides
  41 convenient <code>make</code> rules to build and publish the site.  The
  42 bibliography of my <a href="__p/publications.html">publications</a> is
  43 generated from <a href="__p/bandali.bib"><code>bandali.bib</code></a>
  44 using <a href="https://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/">bibtex2html</a>,
  45 and further processed and put together using GNU sed and
  46 another <code>GNUmakefile</code>.  The git repository containing all
  47 the sources used to build this site are available
  48 <a href="https://git.shemshak.org/~bandali/site">here</a>.</p>
