About Me — Aug 2019

* Not necessarily in that order. Depends…

Hello, my name is David Roessli. I am a freelance web designer and developer based in Geneva, Switzerland.

This weblog is an nth+1 attempt to solve my multiple online personalities and weblog/rss feeds burnout issues.

It exists just for the sake of writing. The Ø Empty Set is a mix of irrelevant, undocumentated, emotional and infrequent posts. They humbly chronicle what is going on in my life, both personal and professional, in no specific order or relevance.

The markup and css can be experimental, so be kind if things breaks or render weirdly, it’s just me fooling around.

The initial post Welcome to the empty set will give you a few more clues on what this is all about.

I intend to merge my former weblogs (macinblog.com, checkbox.org and davo39.org) into this one when I get the opportunity, to have all my junk in the same place. But you know how it is, once you start digging into memories, it takes a while.

Note: the picture above is randomly picked from my Flickr photos tagged with ‘self’.

Travel Blogs — Tumblr

Choosing Tumblr as a travel blog as been a habit since my trip to South India in 2009. Here are links to my past trips:
