My name is Maksim Yegorov. I'm the guy behind this blog. I'm studying structural engineering at UC Berkeley, but happen to have other all-consuming interests on the side. These are mostly passing distractions, but on a couple occassions they've added to my collection of degrees.
Anyway, over the course of the winter break I hacked together a bare-bones blogging engine in python. Outside the standard library, I'm using the web.py module to serve http requests and process templates. Flat-file storage is implemented with buzhug.
