I already knew this site, but did some research about the author now.

This "someone" also hosts http://www.picemulator.com/

He used "wacoutu" as a nick at hex2asm and signed his post with "Bill".

From 2008 to 2010 he had a blog at
https://personallyinteresting.blogspot.com/2008/10/welcome.html

https://personallyinteresting.blogspot.com/2009/10/personal-computing-history-part-1.html leads to http://www.datapackrat.com/source/vim.html, which looks similar to the other sites. VIM ("VIM stands for VIrtual Machine.") docs and source read William Couture.
