You'll find here some of my works and references.
First of all, please view this site with a modern web browser supporting XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2, such as Konqueror or Safari, or at least Mozilla Firefox or Opera 9.
I tried my best to make it look good on Microsoft Internet explorer but it's not perfect, sorry...
This site is also optimized for text browsers like elinks or specialized browsers for people with vision problems.

Who am I?

I am a french student in Computer Science (Master degree).
I am known on the internet as BookeldOr.
My prefered programming languages are C and OCaml and I use, make and promote Free and Open Source Software.
Appart from geekeries, I like cooking, nature, drawing (on paper and on computer, 2D and 3D), photography, music, sciences, litterature and culture in general, but no sport which doesn't involve a DDR pad.
