Hi,

I came here via this forum topic as the author of the WAP WML (Wireless Markup Language) browser wApua which was mentioned there. /home/user/ pointed me to it, thanks!

I still write my own home page and a bunch of other web pages using handcoded HTML stitched together with WML (Website Meta Language this time :cheesy:smile:, an rather ancient but still maintained framework for generating static web pages. I also maintain the Debian package of WML.

Additionally I'm also the Debian package maintainer (or co-maintainer) of a bunch of low-end web browsers (namely Lynx, Links 2 and Dillo) as well as one more modern but lean web browser (qutebrowser) and did some talks and articles (in German) on that topic. Other ancient and low-resource software I maintain in Debian are FLWM, the Fast and Light Window Manager and WDM, the WINGs Display Manager. Not to forget about GNU Screen.

In general I dig running an up to date Debian GNU/Linux Unstable on vintage or low-resource hardware like early EeePCs, old Thinkpads or Raspberry Pis. Unfortunately Debian kicked out Pentium I support with Debian 9 Stretch, so might move to NetBSD or so on my mid 90s Thinkpads 760ED and 760XD. Then again, Debian 8 Jessie still has ELTS (Extended Long Term Support) for about two years. :smile:

I also run a bunch of low-end VPS out there (one with just 48 MB of RAM, but it's really due for a replacement), but usually just as DNS server, not web servers.

Additionally I dig mechanical keyboards and don't use the mouse much. (It's a trackball or thumbstick here anyway. :wink:)
