During my free time, I love riding my bike and working on some opensource projects:
- Terminology, an open source terminal emulator written in C with the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, with lots of great features, and a focus on speed.
- bfb, an irc bot written in BrainFuck++!!! It is configurable, can welcome new users, supports SSL. It is released under the Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License.
- Many others listed on openhub.net or on github.
