h2 Me
p #[span.highlighted Who am I?] My name is Alexander Andreev. I'm a russian guy of age 29 who likes tinkering with computers.
p #[span.highlighted Why am I doing all of this?] I run my machines 24/7 anyway, so why not make them do some useful work that they can handle. Such as simple radio, file share, Tor relay and I2P node, e-mail server, home website and so on.
p #[span.highlighted Why am I almost “doxxing” myself?] Yes, since I host straight from my home you can get my city, but so can I do with you (if you don't use VPN, Tor or I2P :))! Hehe. Yes, my full name and age are here as well, and that's not a problem for me. Speaking of self-hosting the most important thing is that my data belongs only to me and I can access it from anywhere and choose what to publish. :) That was a main goal of having a home server.
p #[span.highlighted Why particularly that slogan?] I just wanted sort of a slogan that'd fit under the logo and that was the first thing came in mind. And eventually it became permanent as everything that was ever meant to be temporary. :) I actually like it. Don't you think of your websites as of very special place of your own? Of course you do. :) And who we are if not the wanderers that are wandering through the Intenets in searching for something we'd like? xD And yes, it's a pain in the ass to make it fit under logo across different browsers. That was the moment when I found out that different browsers render text differently.
p #[span.highlighted Why English only?] I want this place to be accessible by wide audience, and English happen to be todays lingua franca. Second, I do that to practice English. And I'm lazy to maintain two versions of the website, neither see a good reason for that.
p Contact information and banners are #[a(href='#contacts') at the bottom of this page]. Yes, I totally agree with you not wanting to add my banner since I don't have a link page myself. :) Well, it's way easier to make a banner than a links page. :)

h3 What I know
h4 Human languages
p #[span.highlighted English] is my main foreign language and I think that I know it quite well. I have a nice pronunciation (my teacher once said so :)) and I tend to British non-rhotic variant. Of course I end up with a mix of all the flavours of different dialects. What I struggle from is a lack of speaking practice and vocabulary is also still a problem.

p #[span.highlighted Norwegian]. I tried to learn, but lack of usefulness made me to almost forget it. I just like how scandinavian languages sound and chose simplest for me to learn.
p #[span.highlighted Ukrainian] is easy to learn for me as I'm an east slav myself. By reading and listening to it here and there I can understand most of speech and say something not complicated.
p I like learning languages, but I'm being a lazy fuck won't let me learn something up to a reasonable level. :) So I end up being able to read and knowing some words and phrases.

p I actually don't watch much, and if I watch I go for a marathon, and if only I take a break in the middle of a show, then that break could last for years. xD And if I download some film it could sit for years, as it was with Valhalla Rising, it was waiting for me to watch for 3 fucking years. xD
