This blog is a monologue of a comitted observer.

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.

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*.

By *alone* I mean taking time to be with your own thougts, but also producing stuff people find interesting and inspiring.

I blog about various topics, mostly software freedom, software architecture, programming languages, writing, communication and, sometimes, my life.

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.

Take a look at [my Chinese blog](/) if you'd like.
