Colophon
About
nĭtens (Lat. for
sleek, shining, glittering) is the species taxon of a European ground beetle,
Carabus nitens L..
nitens.org is the name of my virtual playground, hosting resources related to my work (
research,
editorial and
teaching activities) as well as
development projects I have been involved in. It is also home to other
random things such as a
photo portfolio, some geeky
advocacy materials, pictures of
Tersilla and
tips on cooking North Sea crabs.
Some technicalities
nitens.org is
invisibly run by
Wikka, a
GPL-
licensed,
standards-compliant and
lightweight wiki engine written in
PHP to whose development I
contribute. This website is graciously hosted by
BlueHost, creators of the amazing
SimpleScripts (which you can use to
install Wikka on-the-fly without the hassle of setting up a database).
