Hi there!

You found your way to my little spot in the internet and you want to know more.

So be it!

## Who am I?

My name is nek0. This is of course a nickname. In my free time I like to code,
draw, play piano, sing and read books. I have a very broad taste in music and a
great deal of understanding.

## What is This?

This is the blog section of my internet presence. Here I post about my
endeavours in programming, especially game development in Haskell, some
tutorials on system administration, a little bit of creative writing and also
more general musings on a lot of different topics.

This blog is generated with the static site generator [Hakyll][hakyll], which is
written in Haskell, my favourite programming language so far.

## You like what I do?

I feel flattered. If you want to support me and my projects, please consider
giving me a tip at one or more of these platforms:

* [Ko-Fi][ko-fi]
* [LiberaPay][liberapay]
* [Tipeee][tipeee]

You may also drop me a few kind words at any of the receptacles listed on my
[contact page][contact].
