The OpenPGP key above can be used to verify email messages digitally signed by me. I also very much like receiving OpenPGP-encrypted mail. I do not publish my key anywhere but here, nor do I get people to sign it. Since it is published on my personal pages, there is enough evidence to link it to me anyway. Do not trust my keys obtained from other sources!
What do you need all that for? First, you have a way to send me information that only you and I can read. Secondly, you can verify that no one tampered with mail coming from me.

Information on this website: what to expect, when to ask my permission
| |
As a rule, I don't publish anything that should not be taken elsewhere. If you found something you like anywhere on my pages, go on, use it. The following might make me unhappy, though:
- publishing any of my information without mentioning my full name
- publishing any of my contact information or OpenPGP keys
- tampering with my photos
I protect certain pages with a password. If you suspect that something is not protected by mistake, please let me know. I may publish sensitive information under URLs obfuscated with random numbers. Should you come across anything like that, please let me know so that I can remove it.

Chronology of my homepage
|
Stripped liquid 4-section table, 3 Aug 2007 — current
I finally disposed of that graphical clutter around the cells. The last imperfection had to go. Although I must confess, it was Google Mail that inspired me to make these changes. I also reflected a little on the whole round corner thing that seems to be all over the web, but concluded it was just a fad. My pages have served me well for many years now, so I'll stick to what I have. For now, that is. -
On August 11th, I finished the calculation of the 8×8 pentaquark correlation matrix. I had to find a way to arrange the enormous number of plots. Putting them in the research section seemed to be the perfect solution, and so I did not have a choice other than to replace the homepage.
The new homepage was designed to be original, convenient, effective, and long-lasting. Minimum of graphics and maximum of usability—this makes my homepage Jacob Nielsen's dream.

Finally, that “say no to design” stage was over. My page evolved into a trite, homepage-type homepage. This new phase was best described by Obogrev: «ЗДРАСТЕ. Это страница меня, макаки. Скоро тут будет много нового и интересного». Yet it looked good in Lynx. By the way, only for UNIX lovers, there's also a Vim-style version of this page.
-
This was the very first version of my homepage—basically my way of saying that the site was under construction. At that time I did not need to tell people about myself, I just needed a host with a 24×7 internet connection to run my scripts.
In October 2003 I wrote an image gallery script and put a link to my galleries on this page, and the present TurboVision-like design (which I have been using in my documents since the spring of 2000) was introduced to the public for the first time.
In January 2003 I started to think about a normal website. I sketched a homepage for it, but a homepage alone couldn't make a website. The idea had to wait a year and a half, and, actually, my present homepage looks very much like this old sketch.
