# about me

**Hi! I'm dogeystamp.** I'm a Canadian high school student with an interest in tech and libre software.

## what i do

### competitive programming

I participate in some programming contests like the University of Waterloo's [CCC.](https://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/contests/computing.html)
In 2021's contest, I got a score of 48/75 in the senior division. [Here's](https://github.com/dogeystamp/waterlooccc) a repo with my solutions.

### projects

In my free time I do programming projects, some of which have have full articles in my blog.

#### [minrss](/minrss)

This is a minimal RSS/Atom feed reader I made using C. It relies mostly on libcurl for multi-threaded downloads of RSS feeds, and libxml2 for XML parsing.

The main feature of this program is that it represents feeds as folders with
articles as files within them.

```
rss
|--news
|  |--article1
|  `--article2
`--blog
  |--post
  `--other_post

```

As such, external scripts - or even a plain shell - can be easily used to read feeds with minrss.

This is similar to suckless.org's programs
[ii](http://tools.suckless.org/ii/) and [sic](http://tools.suckless.org/sic/).

#### [encryptme](https://github.com/dogeystamp/encryptme)

Encryptme is a web app that provides cryptography tools.

It aims to be simple and not clutter the interface,
but it still exposes advanced options if desired.

Instead of using an established front-end framework, it's based on a module I
wrote from scratch in JavaScript for creating interfaces.

#### [bitmask](https://github.com/dogeystamp/bitmask)

This is a Python library I made that helps with manipulating bits.

It uses an object-oriented process to deal with bitmasks,
which makes it simple and easy to use in a language like Python.

Example of some common operations (excerpt from the README):

```
marble = Bitmask(Desc.SMALL, Desc.ROUND, Desc.FUNKY)

Desc.SMALL in marble
>>> True
Desc.LARGE in marble
>>> False
Bitmask(Desc.SMALL, Desc.ROUND) in marble
>>> True
```

### art

Some Blender renders I made for fun:
