Hello. I'm Kake. I do a lot of things, some of which
are listed below.
- Kake's (Vegan) Cookery Site
- Over a decade old now, this was one of the first things I ever put on the interweb. It's now got over a hundred vegan recipes, all thoroughly tested. Simple stuff rather than complex.
- The Randomness Guide to London
- A wiki-based, geographically-aware guide to nice things in London. I wrote a large amount of the software that this guide runs on, though I haven't hacked on it recently. See also our blog.
- Reading Chinese menus
- I'm teaching myself to read Chinese menus. It's going pretty well so far. I'm blogging about it on Dreamwidth, with three posts a week covering concepts, characters, and dishes.
- Discworld MUD (text-based MMORPG)
- A multiplayer online game based on the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. It's completely free to play — no subscription fees, no pay-to-advance, no money accepted at all. I've been a player here since 2004 and a creator (programmer) since 2005.
- My Flickr account
- Photos; some of them good, some of them not. Some are of food, some are of Tube stations, and some are of things I just liked.
- The Vegan Guide to Oxford
- Another long-standing project of mine, this is well over a decade old. It started out as plain static HTML, and now runs on the same software as the London guide mentioned above. It's mostly dormant, since I moved away from Oxford a good while ago, but people won't let me take it down because they still find it useful. (Please note that this means a lot of the information is out of date.)
- The Open Guide to Cambridge
- I've only visited Cambridge three or four times ever, but I help admin this guide to it as a favour to some friends who live there. Again, it's the same software as the Oxford and London guides above.
- OpenGuides
- And this is the software in question.
