My name is Eugene, but on the Internet I often go by Dae. Welcome to my personal technical blog.

[my IT consultancy business]
I’m an IT professional, web developer and producer/investor who works with small teams and SMEs in Europe in various roles involving IT, management, marketing and design. I’m passionate about helping small businesses achieve big goals with the help of cost-efficient and non-bloated technology.
I develop and maintain business applications myself (mostly in Python/Django/Javascript and within the Unix ecosystem), and happily implement existing solutions (often also web-based). Often a combination of both is just what is needed.
Occasionally I make websites like alteahillstennisclub.com, inomgmt.com, andyfiordproduction.com and andyfiord.cn.
Many years ago, I discovered and raised awareness about several mouse-related issues on macOS and created SmoothMouse, an alternative mouse driver for macOS (now discontinued). At its peak, it had approximately 40,000 users, including more than a hundred at Apple’s campus in Cupertino.
This blog is a home for my random technical ramblings that might only be of interest to a niche audience — typically, a wanderer from a search engine looking for a specific answer. I don’t write only about complex problems. Some of my posts, such as the Time Machine server setup guide for Linux, are quite simple, yet thousands of visitors still find them helpful.
If you have a comment or just want to say hello, please don’t hesitate to contact me at dae@dae.me.
Dae is short for Daedalus, an AI character named after a craftsman from Greek mythology in one of my favorite games, Deus Ex. You can call me by either name. Eugene is not exactly my real name either.
