Welcome

This is the open notebook of Julien Deswaef, computational artist and interface developer.

I’m currently organizing this notebook by:

• projects, that may have an expiring date
• workshops attended
• tools I use(d) or just explore(d)
• operating systems I use(d)
• quotes that inspire me
• cooking recipes that I collect

The whole purpose of this wiki is to keep track of notes, howtos and other useful information regarding my projects and activities. It is open and public because « you should document more than just your final design ».

If you’d like to contribute to this notebook, send me a message. I’ve turned off registration because of spammers.
