Welcome to my homepage.
This website has been around for almost 13 years now... shesh I feel old. Most of it has been my ramblings and chunterings. But there is a good portion of it I am proud of.
I'm just a guy with a homepage. I love to tinker on the web. And in an age where we've lost most of what made the web special, I believe it's becoming more critical for people to own and control their own place on the web.
I'm a programmer / web developer by trade, and it just so happens I love to play with the same stuff in my own time.
On this site you'll find a range of topics I've posted about through the years.

That "no caffeine" thing lasted all of a day.
Maybe I need a slow weening method to conquer this dragon.

Very tempted to try and go cold turkey on the caffeine again. Did it years and felt much better after first feeling like hell.
Will have a think tonight whilst I'm out of tea bags.

I saw a video from a well known YouTuber this morning talking about how you should still have your own website.
They then went on to basically build the website using AI then even writing on it using AI.
What. Is. The. Point.
Maybe I should have stuck around to the end but that was enough to turn me right off.
Don't write for "engagement", "clicks" or "personal branding".
Just share the parts of your story that you want to, in a place online that you own and control.
