About this site

This site is basically a fork of a jekyll page by Mark Olensen. It consists of static, plain html pages. All dynamic elements are integrated with JavaScript. I strongly believe in sharing and that’s why the site layout can be reused with (cc) some rights reserved. Fork it on github.

In order to give credits to the open-source projects this site is directly based on, they are mentioned here. Thanks guys!

Disclaimers

No responsibility is taken for the contents of external links. Some layout elements are borrowed from YAML. While I keep an eye on cross-browser compatibility on commercial projects, I know that my private blog looks horrible in non-standard compliant browsers (Internet Explorer 6). I won’t fix that. Look at it as a statement.
