Crypto/computer science: links and cites

I keep up a site of Cryptology pointers with more than 4500 links. I also have a list of most cited cryptographers and a list of Estonian, Finnish and Latvian Computer Scientists (together with # of citations).

ATI (CS department in Tartu) organises seminar.

TCS organizes TCS Forum. Here are some HUT-related links that I need in my everyday work. See here for my university-unrelated business activities.

Some other actual/interesting links:

• Lance Fortnow's computational complexity weblog
• Tartu go club meets once a week. Currently: Every Thursday at 18:00 in the University Caffee.

Programming

MSX - my high school hobby: Simple BWT demo program in PHP3
