and this is my personal homepage. It is mainly a list of links to things that I made or am involved in. To be honest the primary target audience is me, to know about the things on my digital plate.
Your best bet to reach me is by email at lasar@liepins.net. And if you know me, you know which messaging services we can use.
My current public/social media presence is minimal and not worth mentioning.
Most projects are on hold while other things are going on in my life. Hopefully next year is a bit easier, but I'm not holding my breath.
I am aiming to make one post a week on audio.country in 2020. So far so good.
Catching up on various customer projects; Preparing for changes at the end of the year.
Selling tiny forks. Also ducks.
I blog about new music finds at audio.country.
At days-on-earth.com you can select your date of birth - or any other date - and it will show you how many days you have been on this earth. There's an API too.
I have collected a number of my late father's writings at tira-latvija.lv.
Blackbar - Unredacted is a walkthrough for the iOS game Blackbar.
Once in a while I poke at a game I'm building, nicknamed Dejection. It's a recreation of a weird little freeware game I used to play on my dad's Mac SE.
Another link-blogging experiment I called "Strange Days" ran on the app.net social network, which is gone now. I hope to resurrect it as some form of microblog.
I'm also doing some light Arduino-based hardware tinkering. Nothing much to write home about yet, but I hope to do more of that. Some day.
Then there's w42.de, which was my very first domain name.
I also created way too many in-joke sites for the #m crowd. If you don't know what that is, that's fine. placeholduhr.com, orangezebrowitz.com, All Your Pants, ataricamo.com, banana-phone.org, happybirthdaykitten.com and crashnet.org are preserved mostly for my own amusement.
I build and maintain a few tiny - and not particularly interesting to the general public - open source projects
dynalist-js - A Node.JS client for Dynalist. I am also working on a few projects based on/adjacent to this.
sips-node - A Node.js wrapper for the sips command that comes with Mac OS X for querying and modifying images.
config-json - A simple Node.js class for accessing JSON configuration files.
Extenderball - Very flexible extendable JS objects.
My main business is liepins.net where we provide all kinds of software development services since 2001. We work on web projects of all sizes but also do mobile, desktop and IoT development when we have the chance.
Our current work consists mostly of client projects.
One client project will hopefully become, in time, our first self-owned software offering as a plugin for an eCommerce platform.
Work on an as yet unreleased public web service has stalled currently, but I am hoping to get it up and running at some point in the not too distant future.
ios-resolution.com aims to be a one-stop info resource on iPhone and iPad display sizes, both physical and technical.
markdown.de is a German translation of the original Markdown specification.
In 2017 we started a second company called neonquelle for our non-software side projects. More products are in the works, some more realistic than others.
Metalgabel is our take on the disposable fork you get with fries, but made of steel.
Debug Duck is a facilitator for rubber duck debugging.
