Map of the Philippines

Hi, I'm Lemuria. I am a programmer, well, mostly a programmer, with plenty of other interests including but not limited to fictional mapmaking, linguistics, video games, etc.

My name is already taken on a lot of other websites; if that happens I usually go by a_random_lemurian instead.

Also consider checking out the blog.

Socials and links

Of course I have socials, because then how else would I exist on the net?

I don't stream or make videos, but I leave comments.

Since 2026-02-17, I have had a PGP key, with the fingerprint FAE4EB76583911333CFDD41A93FA2B90940756A4.

First Lemurian Clothing Taxonomy

The First Lemurian Clothing Taxonomy (LCT-01) is a system of garment and fabric classification developed by Lemuria starting in September 2025. It is based on methods first developed for and used in biological taxonomy, such as binomial nomenclature, a tree-like structure, and nomenclatural ranks. In layman's terms: "Latin names, but for dresses!". An example of such a binomial name is Gunnelaurentia johnsonia for a make of a vintage Gunne Sax pattern by Lauren Johnson.

Conlangs

My linguistics obsession has led me to the fun world of conlanging. It says a lot about me that the words I can best remember in these languages are "I don't know" (Thiguka: Thakapah gelikalasa; Kenahari: Thalu likalamas)

OpenGeofiction

I am a member of OpenGeofiction, a fictional mapping website, where I map the Filipino-style country Lutang.

Andirika Map

Following in the footsteps of OpenGeofiction, I set up my own full-blown OSM server stack just to build the world of Andirika in peace.

Etymology

Lemuria is the name of a lost continent in the Indian Ocean. I adopted the name from when I had an interest in it, and it has since stuck.


Other entities named "Lemuria"

Any and all organizations that sell "Lemurian seed crystals" are scammers who engage in gross misuse of my name to spread their spiritual "holistic" nonsense. Stop it.

If you do find a seed crystal that actually teleports you to Lemuria, don't use it. I don't want to see you living in my walls.

I am also not affiliated with a group of two restaurants named "Lemuria" in BGC and Quezon City. We serve HTTP 200 OK here, get your French-Mediterranean cuisine some place else. We all know that I am more important than them.

The Lemuria wordmark, which appears below, is my logo, and should hopefully distinguish me from all the other impersonators entities.

A light-blue rectangle with one white pyramid on top of two smaller white pyramids with a triangle-shaped space in the middle that is light blue, representing a symbol known in video gaming as the 'Triforce'. To the right of the light-blue rectangle is the text 'Lemuria', in Gentium font. Lemuria calls this logo the 'Lemuria wordmark'.
