I’m Leo Izen, a programmer of 19 years, and a huge nerd. This page is a bulletin board of personal space for me to stick whatever. Disclaimer: This page is not a portfolio or a resume. Please do not treat it as a distilled professional anthology presentation. (I can write inordinately obfuscatingly syllabic passages too!)

I have gone by a great many names on the internet: I am Leo Izen, Traneptora, and formerly known as thebombzen.

• FFmpeg Tips and Tricks - Various Tips and Tricks for using FFmpeg, mainly useful for the encoding community. More will be added periodically as I remember to add them.
• Creating Meme-Style Images in GIMP - An extremely thorough tutorial on how to create high-quality meme-style images in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

• hydrium - A fast, ultra-low-memory, streaming JPEG XL encoder written in portable C.
• JXLatte - A JPEG XL decoder written in pure Java.
• The Grimoire - A searchable Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition spellbook. This is a fork of Seph’s (ephe’s) Grimoire with several added features and tags (and various things fixed up). As of writing this, this fork is currently the most used one I could find on the internet (which is exactly as reliable of a statement as is sounds). Given the nature of D&D, I try to update the grimoire with the various errata, but I don’t guarantee that it’s perfectly correct or fully content-inclusive. Also, for the record, I’m shocked how I’ve managed to keep it maintained this long given that I don’t really know anything about Ruby or Jekyll. So if anyone wants to help me out with pull requests and such, please feel free.
