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.

[ This is of interest to users who want to create a new theme on top of Modus (for private purposes or as a package). ] The current development target of the Modus themes includes the function modus-themes-generate-palette. I have updated the manual with a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to use that function to...
These are my minimalist themes. They use few colours and will appear mostly monochromatic in many contexts. Styles involve the careful use of typography, such as italics and bold italics. If you want maximalist themes in terms of colour, check my ef-themes package. For something in-between, which I would consider...
Heed the whispering trees foretell your awakening and dither no longer Take the medallion to the arid borderlands where Eagle Rock embraces those who dare to live decisively
The denote-merge package is an optional extension to denote. I am providing it in response to requests for functionality that streamlines the work of merging contents from one file into another.

These combine marine hues with some warmer accents, cast on a fairly prominent backdrop. doric-siren is a light theme, while doric-mermaid is dark. Below are some screenshots to give you an idea of what to expect. [ Or just check all...
I have a new tenting setup for my split mechanical keyboard that works with magnetism. Behold: Thanks to Arialdo Martini, a fellow keyboard and Emacs enthusiast, for gifting me these stands.

At the temple of the goddess while desert wind burns through your skin become the mirror that reflects light towards the heavens where the twin sisters claim their dominion And remain steadfast in the knowledge that shifting sands mislead only those who ignore the stars Note that this is the first poem I have read...
One day the flock was out in the mountains. All the sheep were happy to eat fresh grass from the sunny slopes. “Such a lovely day to be a sheep!” they said and danced along. Suddenly, a white wolf came out of the nearby forest. Nobody knows where it lived before. Its name was “Argie”. Argie had no friends and was...
It is Alexander's sister who emerges from the seabed to warn wanton sailors that exotic landscapes shall not free them from the ocean's spell I wrote this as a conclusion to the essay Writing to refine my ideas and discover new ones (2025-11-13).
This is taken from my journal. I write to understand my ideas better. It is the verbal equivalent of drawing a chart to visualise some data. Ideas that stay in my head remain disjointed until they wither away. When I set out to express something, I do it with the intent of testing its viability. The very process of...
Memories of the Wind Fish were our encounters a world unto themselves whose sprawling narrative speaks of the moment's beauty
