I'm a freelance web-developer and GNU/Linux sysadmin. Also web2.0 and XMPP enthusiast, free software and free culture evangelist. I participate in Bulgarian translation teams of GNOME and KDE and experiment and develop new web ideas at Lindeas.com, my home in Internet.

I'm also an amateur photographer. Feel free to browse my photoblog or to buy full-size copies of my stock photos from online agencies (Fotolia, Dreamstime, IStockPhoto, FeaturePics - you will find the links at my ClaimID page, http://claimid.com/yasen).
