Dr. Lex' Site (BETA)
Welcome to the Dr. Lex site, providing a diverse collection of things since 1997, ranging from information and software to slightly absurd types of humour.
- About: about me and this site.
- S.O.N.A.I.S.: my geeky comic paying homage to the style of early webcomics like User Friendly and GPF, in a modern vaguely A.I.-related setting.
- Educative: various stuff you may learn something from. Some of the most popular pages:
- Calculators: video bitrate – file sizes – time – CIDR
- How to correctly implement an audio volume control
- Hardware: hardware-related things I've done, including my hand-built electric guitars.
- Software & Sound: mostly cross-platform scripts, but also some sounds, fonts, scripts, and some platform-specific things like for Mac OS.
- 3D Printing: printable 3D models I have created or improved and deem useful, fun, or just cool, and information about 3D printing.
- Weird Stuff: what the title says. Enter at your own risk.
- Links: links to other sites.
Other potentially useful pages: the sitemap and the contact page.

ZOMG! What happened to the cool home page?
Long ago, the home page was a big animated clickable image as shown above. It was cool but impractical to maintain, and it would also be awkward on present-day mobile devices. I might make a worthy future-proof replacement (which is why I labelled this page as ‘BETA’), but for now you will have to make do with this spartan design where the above list of down-to-earth text links take you to the topics in which the site is divided.
Note: if you are trying to access this site from some cloud instance and wonder why it fails… it is because I started firewalling entire cloud ranges, due to abuse from dodgy scrapers. This site is meant for humans, not for stupid bots. This may also break access through some VPNs. Mind that there is no valid reason to browse this site through a VPN. Any privacy concerns can be mitigated by blocking ads and cookies. This is just a classic website consisting of static pages and some simple scripts, the site itself does not rely on any cookies and will not try to profile you or sell your data.
This website may cause cookies to be set in your browser. Not the edible kind, the digital kind that stores tiny bits of information on your own computer. Cookies are only used by the Google ads on some pages, in the same way as with every other website that has such ads. Unless you are using an ad blocker (which I'm perfectly fine with), you will get the annoying consent dialog the first time you open a page that has ads. More details on the Privacy page.
