### About I am a student at the Southern Alberta Insitute of Technology (SAIT). My fascination lies primarily with operating system internals and systems-level tools. My goal is to bring the everyday computing environment of Linux/BSD nerds to visually impaired users, and to ensure the saftey, privacy and security of the internet. Some of my projects reflect this. I have all of my code projects hosted on [my Github](https://github.com/TTWNO). ### Projects **[epub-with-pinyin](https://github.com/TTWNO/epub-with-pinyin)** --- I wrote a program to add Pinyin above Chinese characters in .epub files to assist myself and others learning Mandarin Chinese. **[chess](https://github.com/TTWNO/chess)** --- I wrote a command-line chess game in C++. It is compileable on almost any system. **[tait.tech](https://github.com/TTWNO/tait.tech)** --- All the code for my website is open source. **[Napolean](https://github.com/TTWNO/Napolean)** --- A work-in-progress suite of tools to be used in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi and camera to produce text files from scanned books. **[subnetting](https://github.com/TTWNO/subnetting)** --- A one-night write of a tool to automatically calculate network subnet masks based on required hosts and base IP. I also ocassionally put content on my [lbry channel](https://lbry.tv/@tait:7), and the [blog I host on this site](/blog/). #### Ideas Sometimes I have ideas that I haven't done anything with yet. Those are [here](/ideas/). ### Contact You can reach me via email at [tait@tait.tech](mailto:tait@tait.tech) If you use PGP, [this is my public key](/public-key.asc)
