My name is Ruben Verweij and this is my personal wiki, digital garden, blog, or, to summarize: personal website. At the moment, I’m writing mostly about the following topics: Personal web (lightweight, fast, personal websites: a.k.a. Indieweb, smallweb), Books (book descriptions and reviews), Travel (going places), Tech (software, hardware and other technology) and Sanskrit (Sanskrit texts and the study of the language). I also keep track of what I’m focused on now. This website is bilingual: currently, 54% of the pages are written in English and 46% of the pages are written in Dutch.
