Hello world!
+ ¤ Send me an e-mail + - My name is Noah and this is my website. I am a software engineer who lives in - Los Angeles. My areas of expertise are primarily in Perl and Python back-end - software development, however I believe I have a knack for the front end as well.+
Hello world!
- I built Kirsle.net from the ground up. Its back-end code has been rewritten a - dozen different times, in two different languages. I made the web design in Photoshop and - pieced it together using standards compliant HTML 5 (the spec, not the - buzzword), CSS and a little bit of JavaScript. The back end is entirely written - in Python. The previous version of Kirsle.net was written in Perl and ran on my - "PerlSiikir" CMS. I rewrote it in Python - for various reasons, and I like Python - more these days anyway.

- Besides being a rockstar at back end development and a pretty decent web designer, - I've dabbled in some 3D modeling, Flash animation and other artistic things. - You can find them under the "Creativity" section on the left navigation. :)

Kirsle?

- In 1997 when the Internet was still brand new, They didn't want us - using our real names online so I always went by one screen name or - another. -
- The game NiGHTS: Into Dreams... for the Sega Saturn had an - enemy on some levels named Kircle, and I liked the name but I read - it as though the "C" were pronounced like an "S". Nonetheless, it - became my screen name. -
- People often pronounced it with a hard "C". The last straw was when - I discovered that Text-to-Speech software also pronounced it this way. -
- I re-spelled it as Kirsle so it was spelled how I wanted it to be - pronounced. -
- In doing so, I created the most unique name ever. All of the Google - search results for Kirsle are about me! -

Kirsle.net is Open Source
+ Later on I turned Kirsle into a full Internet alias/fake name of + Casey Kirsle, which I used as my name for several years online (some of + my older Perl modules on CPAN are signed by this name). That was + mostly because I like the name Casey, and Kirsle could plausibly sound like + a last name.- The Python code that powers Kirsle.net is an open source project of mine named - Rophako. It means "Website" in - Azulian. The Rophako CMS is open source - software that I released under the GNU General Public License and you can - clone it on GitHub. The HTML - files for Kirsle.net are also - on GitHub, but those probably aren't very interesting to you.
