This site is self-hosted on an old PC running Arch Linux BTW. The source code for ozolins.xyz can be found on GitHub. This site was built using Org Mode. The theme used here is darksun by alphapapa.

Below are commercial recordings I've had a hand in, either as a performer, or as part of the production process.

UPDATE 2022-07-10: For the moment, as I shift my focus back towards software engineering and performing music, I'm not taking on any new recording projects. This may change in the future so please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always willing to entertain special projects or help colleagues find solutions.

I maintain these notes online to act as personal wikis, but you may find the information here useful as well. Notes here are taken in org-mode format and published via ox-publish using the read-the-org theme.

Ever wonder what I'm reading? Well, as of December 2023, I've started keeping track. When I start a new book, I'll list it below. For transparency, I don't always finish every book I start, nor do I like all of the books I read. I also don't endorse any of the content within them. Don't hesitate to send me an email if you'd like to discuss any books here.

Detail: Written in Python, mouthpiecer-cli (which technically should be called mouthpiecer-tui) is a terminal user interface for keeping track of your French horn mouthpiece collection. It leverages the power of Knack, a platform for building custom online apps, as a database back end. Interacting with Knack via its REST API, mouthpiecer-cli uses pandas to display database information in the terminal, providing a simple interface for users to manage their mouthpiece collection.

Note: I'll be rewriting this in Python soon and expanding its functionality!

Detail: Written in Bash, Aleks' Reprovisioning Script for Desktop is designed for personal use only, and is aimed at automatically reprovisioning a new install of Arch Linux into a fully usable system with minimal intervention.

The script serves several functions:

• Error Logging: Logs errors for easy troubleshooting and debugging.
• Dotfiles Management: Automatically clones and stows (using GNU Stow) both public and personal dotfiles.
• Package Installation: Installs necessary packages from both the official Arch repositories and the AUR (using paru).
• Password Store Setup: Sets up the password store using pass and configures my GPG key.
• Machine-Specific Configurations: Applies machine-specific configurations to tailor the system to the specific hardware and personal preferences.
• Printing Setup: Sets up printing capabilities using CUPS.
• Window Manager Configuration: Sets up a minimal yet fully functional tiling window manager environment using my custom build of DWM.
• Email Synchronization: Synchronizes email accounts using mbsync and mu.

Detail: The source for this website. The content itself is written in org-mode. An Elisp script leverages ox-publish to publish the content to HTML using a CSS template. This is wrapped in a simple build/deployment/backup script written in plain shell.

Detail: My personal configurations for a range of software with a focus on FOSS (Free and Open Source Sofware) for GNU/Linux.

Here are the list of upcoming updates to this site:
