I am a philosopher living in the mountains of Cyprus at a house I built myself which I affectionately call “the hut.” I spend my free time programming on GNU Emacs, writing essays on a wide range of life issues, and doing infrastructure work around my house. My background is diverse and reflects my intellectual curiosity as well as consistently high work ethic.

J’écris pour pratiquer ma Français. Il y a plein des fautes en ces notes ci. Collectivement ces sont la réflection de ma qualité en présent. Je crois que tous que je publies est corrigible. Pas seulement les textes Françaises, dont je pratiques la langue, mais la totalité de mes publications. Il y aucun instance de...
Les habitudes nous permettons à être efficace et à agir sans considérant les détailles chaque fois. Néanmoins, les habitudes doivent changer marginalement ou profondément pour notre développement vertueuse continuel. En ce sujet là, j’ai commencé à lire et à écrire en Français.

Ça fait déjà plusieurs années que j’ai parlai en Français. J’ai oublié tout le mots… Donc c’est difficile de m’exprimer en sujets que m’intéresses comme la philosophie que j’appliquais chaque jour. Ce que je peux faire aujourd’hui est d’écrire. Mon objectif est de pratiquer la langue: de présenter les idées simples....
Representatives from the United States and Iran are already meeting in Switzerland to agree on a permanent end to the war. Many important details remain unknown, though the way things are set is already giving us an indication of what to expect. Both sides can claim victory. Though it is only a Pyrrhic one: another...
I just published the latest stable release of the Modus themes. The change log entry is reproduced further below. For any questions, you are welcome to contact me.

This is an excerpt from a private exchange. I am sharing it with the permission of my correspondent, without disclosing their identity. I was wondering how do you have the courage to become who you are today, you know, making speech and talk to different people. I have to do a presentation next week, and I find that...
For this entry in the series I have picked a song of composer Manos Chatzidakis, as it is performed by the acclaimed Nana Mouskouri: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lp6f_T1z_o. This is a wonderful performance. Even the breeze adds to the magic of the show. Below are the lyrics, my translation of them, and further...
This is an entry from my journal. I comment on how I accept the world as-is. Over the past few weeks Atlas’ cancer has resurfaced. This time I will probably not be able to do anything about it, though I will still check with the medical experts. The cancer has already grown more than what it was a few months ago...
