My claims to fame are designing the previous SPAG website in 2006, and being a judge in the French IFComp 2008. More recently, I developed Ramus, a CYOA authoring system. As a programmer, I find creating IF just as exciting as playing it, but I seldom authored anything serious. Nowadays I am more active around the MMO cousins of text adventures, a.k.a. MU*s.
