	Chris Xiong is a young coder from a small city of China. Now aged more
	than 20, this hacker is still just writing code for fun. Crazy follower
	of &quot;Free Software&quot; (but not FSF's ideology in particular).
	Develops free software alone but seldom feels lonely. Sincere friends
	are always cherished.

	This site is written from scratch in XHTML without using any kind of framework whatsoever.
	Later it was migrated to HTML5 (still not using 3rd-party frameworks).
	Poorly-written C++ and Python code powers the backend.

				PFAQs:
				<p style="text-indent:0;">
				Q1: Why is it "chirs241097" instead of "chris241097" in your usernames?<br>
				A1: That was an old typo...
				<br>
				However according to the Haskell tutorial found at haskell.org,
				<code>"chirs" == sort "chris"</code>
				and is her twin nemesis. That would be a very playful joke.
				<br>
				Why use 'her' here? Simply because my textbook on Operating System Concepts
				does so.
				</p>
				<p style="text-indent:0;">
				Q2: Why do the pages on your site look <i>so</i> ugly?<br>
				A2: The reason is simple but "irrefutable": I simply <i>like</i> this style.
				</p>
				<p style="text-indent:0;">
				Q3: What the hell is the favicon of your site?<br>
				A3: Well, it's a placeholder made in half a minute :).
