Hello!
This tech blog has been running since the late 1990s under different designs and URLs. In that time, the writing has covered software development topics, and more recently, has incorporated various side projects based on volunteer work for the Armenian Institute and other charity organisations interested in digitising archives and books, and sharing their work.
The Armenian Institute is a charity that supports Armenian culture through its language classes, library, events, and publishing books. If you find your way to the Armenian Summer Festival in London, come check out the stall.
Long-form, no clickbait, no SEO games. Posts are irregular but there’s a chance that might improve.
Topics
- Digitising and publishing old books and archives — the challenges of OCR and publishing
- Armenian Institute projects and events - from publishing books to the history of computing in Armenia
- Building software and websites - technical obstacles encountered and how they were solved
- Java, Spring, and the Drools rules engine — although maybe not so much lately
