My name is Carl Winbäck. I’m a curious technologist and father of three. I like Unix, Go and Python.

This is a small site where I collect random technological musings.

Feel free to get in touch! The easiest way to reach me is via e-mail.

You can find out my address by running the following command in a Unix shell:

echo c.:.tunnel53.:.net | sed 's/.:./@/; s/.:././'

(Hint for the shell-illiterate: Replace the first ocurrence of .:. with an @ and the second ocurrence of .:. with a single period.)
