I have never liked writing profiles/bios, but here goes:

Welcome to my simple yet complex mind. I like eating and sleeping, I program in various languages and I love the visual style Apple used during the Jobs/Forstall era. I still call Apple’s desktop operating system “Mac OS X”, prefer FreeBSD over Linux, happily spend time on helping people escape the terror of the flat design, refuse to put commas and full stops before a closing quotation mark unless the entire sentence is in quotes, and sometimes have very strong opinions on topics that most people consider insignificant (occasionally I write rants like this, but I never bite – in fact there isn’t an app for remote biting either, at least not one that supports iOS 6). My username simply means “guest” and is thus often taken. It was not very well thought out, I admit that, but it does not matter since I only use it on Reddit and here. I no longer choose usernames that end in 92, because apparently people stop doing that when reaching their 20s (except on sketchy forums for some reason). I am a very principled person, except when I am not. Actually I usually also consider myself a pragmatic person and an ideologist. Being consistent is perhaps the most important principle.

iPhone wasn’t a thing when I started programming (not outside Jobs’ circles anyway), so I wasted spare time on programming for Windows (Notepad clones and other useless stuff). Thus I am relatively new to the world of advanced iOS, but bloating the user database was not the intention of registering an account here. I hope to contribute with something, especially in the field of downgrading / firmware bundles.

Personal projects
Below is a list of projects I am working on (and plan to work on). I put them in a table inside a table to save space.

Devices
I have owned various devices. I put some of them in this table inside a table, with their bullet point list style biographies in collapsed table inside the inner table. Don’t you just love nested tables?
