About this site
These pages collect my writings on subjects that interest me. The subjects shift over time, but they tend to fall under several enduring headings: literature, art history, history, psychoanalysis, and topics related to Linux and the GNU system. I also write about Scotland, Sweden, and Spain - countries I have lived in and have close personal ties to.
This site also serves as a personal knowledge system, linking to files, web pages, and institutions I find useful or engaging.
How I make the site
The site is a static website and is written entirely with Emacs. I use org-publish to push the site up to my hosting company which at the moment is based in Lithuania. The site uses a css file - gwernish.css- which draws heavy inspiration from gwern.net.
