 Here are some miscellanous things I do.
 
-## Conlangs
-
-<dfn>Conlang</dfn> stands for *constructed language*.  Many people created
-conlangs for hobby or as linguistic experiments.
-
-I was inspired by the conlangs in <i>Inheritance Cycle</i> and <i>The Lord of
-the Rings</i>, as well as others like Esperanto, Dothraki, Toki Pona, et al and
-conlang from time to time as a hobby.  None of my conlangs reached its
-maturity, though, mainly due to loss of copies and lack of time.
-
-Some of my conlangs:
-
-- [Hàäsdáïga](/haasdaiga/)
-- [Ravna](/ravna/)
-- [Isanercent](/isanercent/)
-- [Djanzi](/djanzi/)
-
-## Books
-
-I'm not the bookworm I used to be, reading mostly mainstream books. Some books
-I read and liked:
-
-- <i>Dế Mèn phiêu lưu kí</i>, a famous children book in Vietnamese about an
-    arrogant cricket who learned humility and altruism during his journey.
-- <i>The adventures of Valya and Karik</i>, a Russian children book (my copy
-    was a Vietnamese translation) about the adventures of shrunken children in
-    which they learn about small animals around them.
-- <i>Sans famille</i>, a story about a child who had to leave his family for
-    poverty, though now that I think about it, it sounds like children
-    trafficking and child labor.
-- <i>Nineteen Eighty-Four</i>, a dystopian tragedy that is often mistaken as
-    criticism of socialism, while the actual object is authoritanism and mass
-    surveillance.
-- <i>The Hobbit</i> and <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>, the well-known fantasy
-    franchise
-- <i>Inheritance Cycle</i>, often labeled as rip-off <i>Star Wars</i> by haters
-- <i>Gulliver's Travels</i>, a book that's supposed to be satire but I didn't
-    know enough to understand these deep meanings.
-- <i>Le petit prince</i>, a novella with a childish theme but discuss many
-    aspects of life in a lighthearted way.
-- [Ellana][ellana] (<i>Le Pacte des MarchOmbres</i> series) (French)
-
-Books I'm reading:
-
-- [Ellana: L'envol][ellana-2] (<i>Le Pacte des MarchOmbres</i> series) (French)
-- [Tous les hommes sont mortels][hommes-mortels] (French)
-- <i>The Necromancer</i> (<i>The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel</i>
-    series)
-
-Dropped:
-
-- [XKCD what if](what-if)
-- <i>A Storm of Swords</i>(<i>A Song of Ice and Fire</i> series)

-
-## Project ideas
-
-Here are some project ideas that I have in mind, yet don't have the time to
-implement any of them.  You'll probably find some drafts, but practically no
-work is done:
-
-- a small shop management app
-- a modern text browser with vim keybinding
-- several non-standard libs:
-  - a rewrite for `time` module in Go
-  - internalisation modules
-- universal internalisation package, which contains common phrases like
-    "Settings", "Log in", "Account" pre-translated
-- redesign this blog
-- smaller and more maintainable, more packageable Anki clone
-
-## Comics
-
-Reading comics is my pastime.  I follow several webcomics, some of which you
-may have heard of:
-
-- [Pepper & Carrot](https://www.peppercarrot.com/)
-- [xkcd](https://xkcd.com): nerd stuff
-- [SMBC](https://smbc-comics.com): more nerd stuff, and usually less concise
-- [Oglaf](https://www.oglaf.com/): silly and occasionally NSFW comics
-- [Dinosaur comics](https://qwantz.com/): a 5-panel comics with only dialogues changing
-
-I also enjoy drawing every now and then, not that I want to be an artist or I
-draw well.  I just find scribbling something fun.  I recently decided to post
-[my doodles](/en/doodles/) on this website.
