This is my blog where I write about nearly everything I am interested in, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, computer science and stuff. -To quote one of my favorite podcasters[^1], consider this website as a **monologue of a committed observer**. +This blog is a monologue of a comitted observer. -Most of the articles are in Chinese, you can check them out by clicking the little globe icon on the top navigation. +I go by the name of Eltrac. You can find out more about me on my [homepage](https://eltr.ac/). Geek Death Project, as the name suggests, is a *project* of mine, not a regular indie website where I simply create an online presence. -## About Me +I also talk a lot on [Fedi](https://akk.eltr.ac/@eltrac), mostly in Chinese, sometimes in English. I find writing in short form and long form to be completely different. Microblogging is spontaneous and social. Long-form blogging is well-thought, calm and *alone*. -Born-and-raised Chinese, I'm currently studying Software Engineering at a university in China, trying to get my bachelor's degree. I've been thinking about continuing my study somewhere in Europe and getting a master's degree in Game Design or Game Development. +By *alone* I mean taking time to be with your own thougts, but also producing stuff people find interesting and inspiring. -I'm gay and go with no specific pronouns. Call me him or them or her or whatever suits you. +I blog about various topics, mostly software freedom, software architecture, programming languages, writing, communication and, sometimes, my life. -If you'd like to know about me a little bit more, please read something that I wrote on this blog. I don't want to make this page too autobiographical. +My work is mostly in Chinese but I try to engage in the English indie web. I sometimes find my wording awkward because I speak English as a second language, but I like to think I still have a voice in this language, an honest human voice at least. -## About this blog +Take a look at [my Chinese blog](/) if you'd like. -Geek Death Project is originally a Chinese blog. In the beginning of 2025, I've decided to make it bilingual and start writing stuff in English as a way to improve my written English, considering that I might go abroad and take courses in English. - -Also, I'd like to write about stuff that is happening on the English Internet or something that Chinese people do not pay much attention to. - -## About the names - -My name is Eltrac, which is not a real name but a word that I made up. It's just a name that I go by on the Internet. - -The blog is called Geek Death Project, it's sort of two-fold. - -1. Means *Killing the geek*. I used to spend way too much time on trying new productivity tools and re-decorating my websites, rather than creating anything truly valuable. I'd like to *kill* that version of me. -2. Break it into three individual nouns. - 1. "Geek" means I write about computer stuff and dig deep into some topics like a geek. - 2. "Death" is kind of philosophical. See it as a symbol of everything that is related to the ultimate answer of life or other similar things worth writing about. - 3. "Project" is more of a placeholder, making the title sounds like a real name of something. But I do love creating all sorts of personal projects. - ---- - -## Contact - -Email me if you need: `hi@eltr.ac` or `eltrac233@gmail.com` - -I'm not a fan of social media, so I'm sorry if you want to follow me anywhere. However, if it's not too much trouble, consider subscribing to my [RSS feed](/en/posts/index.xml). - -[^1]: The podcast is in Chinese.
