# About Me

Howdy! My name is Lilac, and this is my website. I am interested in low-level
computing, networking, and Linux. When not tinkering with 'puters, I birdwatch,
crochet, and garden.

# Computers

I write embedded firmware and POSIX/Linux applications using C and several
dialects of assembly. I do the server administration for all my own web services
using NixOS.

Here is some of the software I've written:

Grasswren

Chickadee
: [NixOS Configuration](https://code.grasswren.net/Lilac/Chickadee)

Tanager
: [QMK Ergodox EZ Shine Firmware](https://code.grasswren.net/Lilac/Tanager)

Here are some blog posts I've written about computers:

# Birds

I started birding in January 2026 when I received a digital camera. I try to
submit my birding checklists to [eBird](https://ebird.org) whenever I get the
chance. You can take a look at some of my photographs
[here](https://photo.grasswren.net/s/public).

# Music

I host my own music library of CDs I've ripped. I listen to many genres of
music; if you think I'd like something, please give me a CD of it! I especially
like old live performances and hard-to-find early electronic music discs.
