About voidstar.org

In 1994, I named this site voidstar.org because the name represents the concept of “a pointer to anything” in C++. Funnily enough, I rarely used void* in my code. I was heavily invested in the OOP concepts that C++ offered and only used void* as a last resort.

Also, this is a “.org” domain because my registrar wouldn’t allow individuals to register a “.com” domain. (It was a different time.)
