About me
You can contact me via email, or find me on Github or BitBucket. I’m also active in some communities like StackOverflow or the German Python forum. My usual nickname is “lunaryorn”, or just “lunar” sometimes. If in doubt, just watch out for the avatar you see at the top of this page.
Projects
I’m maintaining these two projects:
- pyudev
- Python bindings to libudev, the device management and information library of Linux.
- synaptiks
- A touchpad configuration and management utility for KDE
Additionally I’ve written some smaller tools and utilities:
- Collection of code snippets, mainly about Python and Qt
- Sphinx extensions:
- sphinxcontrib-epydoc to cross-reference epydoc documentation
- sphinxcontrib-issuetracker to cross-reference issues in issue trackers
- sphinxcontrib-ansi to interprete ANSI color sequences in the output of programs
- sphinxcontrib-programoutput to include the output of programs into documents
Dotfiles
Configuration files for programs that I use:
- Vim configuration
- Zsh configuration, based on oh-my-zsh by Sorin Ionescu
- Other configuration files, most notably Git and Mercurial configuration
I’m using the Vim text editor for programming and text editing. My configuration can be found on GitHub. It’s somewhat ragged and incomplete, since I’m quite new to Vim.
I’ve been using Emacs before, and still keep my configuration on GitHub for reference, but I don’t maintain it anymore and don’t keep it up with the cool new stuff for Emacs that appears in the net.
My favorite shell is zsh. I’ve based my configuration on the great oh-my-zsh framework from Sorin Ionescu, a cleaned up and improved version of Robby Russel’s original work. This framework provides a lot of cool functionality right out of the box and has a well-designed plugin framework for extending which makes ZSH configuration much easier and comprehendable. I’d recommend this framework to any Zsh user out there.
About this site
The site is built with Bootstrap and Jekyll. It’s sources are available on Github.

Building blocks
Bootstrap is an easy-to-use, yet very powerful and comprehensive CSS/HTML5 toolkit by Twitter that lets you create very nice HTML sites with just some bits of HTML code and no CSS hassle. This site uses a customized version for an individual look, extended with some custom Javascript to support navigation and generate content tables.
Jekyll is a simple static site generator that is used by GitHub pages.
It’s not particularly powerful or easy to use, but using this generator means
that Github pages automatically builds and deploys the site, turing updating
into a simple git push.
