The home page of Sergey Babkin.

This page is designed to be simple and stupid and I'm going to keep it this way. Nope, no photos either.

This is the English part and that is the Russian part. Of course, in the KOI-8 encoding. No, they are not translations of each other but instead are complementary: I have written some stuff in English and some stuff in Russian and I'm too lazy to translate this stuff back and forth.

Here go the links (how could we do without them ?):


The FreeBSD project. And my FreeBSD home page which is not terrybly exciting yet, it contains mostly experimental patches and the text of a few articles about BSD.


Daemon News - an electronic magazine dedicated to the BSD systems. Don't miss my articles in the iissues from February '99, June '00, July '00, August '00. There should also be my article in the printed version of DaemonNews for May-June 2001 but I have not yet seen it printed. In any case, the original text of that article is available on my FreeBSD home page.


The XFree86 project


The USENIX Association The Usenix Association. And you can also read my letter to ;login:, the magazine of Usenix, about why all the sorts of certifications are evil.

And the summary of my 5-minute talk about ttf2pt1 at the Usenix 2000 technical conference.


The Volvo mailing list home page. Also contains a lot of information about repairs and modifications of the Volvo cars.


ttf2pt1 is a program for conversion of the fonts to the Adobe Type1 format. Historically it has been a converter from the TTF format into Type1 but now it can read the other formats too.


Not A Commander is yet another clone of Norton Commander(tm). I'm its author.

Things no longer here:

I no longer play the F1live game. If you are looking for the utilities to suck out the F1Live races, they are still downloadable (about 4K, last update on March 5 1999) though I can't say if they would still work.. So if you have a Unix machine you can try to use them by yourself.
