I own the domain since 6.6.6 as I though it was a funny date. The name comes from the Cryptonomicon¹ and the Necronomicon². As you might have already guessed, this site will mainly be about me (Nico).

About the author

My name is Nicolas Hoibian. I am a software engineer. I graduated from the "Universitée Montpellier 2" in 2005. Since then I worked at CERN until 2011, making control and monitoring software, then at Catalpa International, making web-apps and Information Systems for the government.

Here is my resume in English et en français.

About the backend

This site was based on a slightly modified version of w2, but in the end w2 was updated too slowly, and I wanted different functionnalities for my home space. I call the backend nnmc.

nnmc was being coded partly at home, partly in the bus going to work, on a succession of Apple laptops. It uses php markdown extra, php, flat text files and a folder based architecture. The aim being to easily use git for archiving the pages' versions.
