Hello there. I'm Chris. I design and implement software.

You can get in touch with me.

- https://github.com/gomarkdown/markdown : markdown parser and converter to HTML
- https://github.com/kjk/siser : a simple, thoughtfully designed library for serializing data
- https://github.com/kjk/dailyrotate : simple library that rotates files daily (e.g. log files)
- https://github.com/kjk/inflect : a library to inflect English words i.e. pluralize ("home" ⇒ "homes" etc.) and singularize ("cats" => "cat", "men" => "man")
