Live in Melton Mowbray, East Midlands market town, U.K. with Fania since 2014, married 2018. We maintain around 4 web servers/many websites and code together on projects including an extensive magic square application for exploring and researching patterns (Node, CouchDB, JavaScript, Haskell). I'm always working on a modest number of other projects too. Small “non-company” Ecovisum that built software to track energy use. Art-technology practitioner. Advocate for plain-text content using Multi/Markdown and Pandoc (convert to any format). I try to apply the Unix philosophy to life itself. Two grown children Meri and Jessica from previous marriage (ended 1989), both musicians. Band I was in for 23 years ended 2019 after death of fellow band-mate (friend and co-developer) Ben Daglish (known for 80s computer game music). I now perform rarely and record acoustic improvised pieces (album in progress). Read a lot: popular science: Carlo Rovelli, Duncan Watts/complexity/society, neurology, etc. Love novels by Anne Tyler and many other authors. Created and taught modules in web technologies at De Montfort University, students from journalism to computer science. Love that now you can build almost anything from web tech. Two indispensible things: GIT and SimpleNote. Current text editor of choice: VSCode. Despite having a Leukaemia that slows me down (CLL, not terminal) I’m contentedly unambitious, value private life, and need plenty of free space and time to be happy and productive.
