Main Page
Welcome, I am a fourth year student at Blekinge Institute of Technology where I am studying game programming. Besides game development I am a dedicated Gentoo GNU/Linux user. The purpose of this site is to gather information related to those to subjects, but there is also some other articles. The name of the site is Sidvind which is a Swedish word for wind that comes from a side (like when you drive the car and the wind blows from the right). AFAIK there isn't an English equivalent word, apart from sidewind.
Please feel free to write your own articles and/or edit mine. That's the reason this is a wiki rather than a static page. Actually, I would appreciate if some articles were written by other people than me.
Logo wanted, if you want to design one send a copy to logo@sidvind.com.
