J’raxis·Com
J’raxis is the creator and primary maintainer of the website J’raxis·Com.
The website first went online in 2000, but has existed in various manifestations at less concise URLs since 1996-09-13—for nearly thirteen years. It was taken offline for several months when its hosting server was compromised in mid-2003, and from 2003-08-11 until 2004-09-12, it sat mostly empty, with nothing but an index page claiming the site would be back online Real Soon Now™.
On 2004-09-13, he began reposting the old site content, after completing the back-end XSL-based templating system and having converted much of the old content to the new format.
As of 2008-03, the site has largely fallen dormant again, and is in need of a complete revamp.
Free software
J’raxis uses the GNU/Linux operating system and free software almost exclusively.
Originally using only Apple and Macintosh computers, he switched to Linux after using Unix-based systems at his university and workplace.
In late 2002, he began to use Linux From Scratch on a Toshiba laptop, Iraxia; in 2005, he began experimenting with Gentoo Linux, and currently runs Gentoo on an AMD64 desktop machine, Iraxia64.
Software that J’raxis has authored, including the code to J’raxis·Com, is released under the GPL.
The J’raxis·Com content itself is mostly released under a Creative Commons license where possible.
J’raxis intermittently runs a 20 GiB Freenet node.
J’raxis is not the WIPO Troll.
