Tiit Lepik’s home on the web
I am Tiit Lepik, an information technologist. I come from Palmse in Lääne-Viru County and live in Kiiu in Harju County. I was born on 29 June 1971. On my father’s side I am a Mulk from Tarvastu, on my mother’s side a man of Virumaa. For years I have lived with severe diabetes. I try to respect it enough that it does not rule my life.
For me, information technology is the movement of information between people. I learned this way of thinking in a special class at Rakvere Secondary School No. 1, where Aleksander Levin taught me logical thinking. I have worked in tourism, nature journalism, science communication, IT and construction. My main work is now my own company Ordinatim OÜ, and I am open to new things to do.
Here you will find my contacts, my mailing list, data from the Kiiu weather station and topic pages that describe in more detail what I have done.

Tiit Lepik’s mailing list
My mailing list on Smaily is in Estonian, so the sign-up form is only on the Estonian page. You can read the posts in English on this website — they are machine translations made with Claude (Anthropic).
I started my mailing list on 12.06.2025. Smaily became my choice after Urmas Talivee started using it for Jaan Riis’s Looduse Omnibuss lists. Here are the three latest posts; you will find all of them in the mailing list archive.

Weather in Kiiu
Ecowitt HP2551 weather station at Tehase tn 1, Kiiu, Harju County
In February 2026, with the help of friends, I installed an Ecowitt HP2551 weather station at my home and workplace in Kiiu. I needed the weather station because of my health.
Information technology
For me, information technology is the movement of information between people and organisations, not just machines. The page covers my path from the Rakvere computing centre to IT Rotid, digital archives and webcams, and a timeline from the first data carrier to artificial intelligence.
Nature conservation
I grew up in a family of nature conservationists in Palmse. The page covers the Young Nature Conservationists’ Club, Lahemaa National Park, the student druzhina movement, Looduskalender, the projects of Loodusring and an unfinished timeline of the history of nature conservation in Estonia.
Culture
How one idea becomes an event: the open-air production at Padise Monastery, Viru Folk, Klubi Woodstock, Starlight Cabaret, the teadus.ee summer schools and a home-made book scanner.
Roots
The Lepik family archive: family tree, grandparents, my father Juhan Lepik and my sister Leida Lepik, Palmse and Ilumäe. There is also a timeline of my father’s life and the family photo albums.
Work and ventures
Work and ventures as a timeline, newest first: tourism, nature education, science communication, IT and culture technology, construction. Education and training are at the end.
