Crypto/computer science: links and cites

I keep up a site of Cryptology pointers with more than 5000 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.

Here are some HUT-related links that I needed in my everyday work (when I worked in Finland). 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. /* Seems to be in hiatus. */

Programming

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