Blog
My first blog post was back in 1999, and I kept posting until 2012 when I let the blog die. I reinstated it in 2021. It's a low frequency blog of technical thoughts.
I've been on Twitter since February 2007. In recent years it's turned into a bit of a dumpster fire, full of abuse, argument, and misinformation. I use it mostly to follow interesting people in tech.
Mastodon / Fediverse
I'm increasingly using Mastodon, a federated social media platform, in preference to Twitter. Come find me there.
GitLab
This site is hosted on GitLab, using Eleventy with GitLab CI/CD and Pages. I've only recently started using GitLab and am impressed. I'd recommend taking a look if you haven't already.
GitHub
Most of my code is hosted on GitHub, much of it is open-source, but a lot of it is private.
Exercism
Exercism is a great tool for programming language learning. I mentor on the javascript track.
Strava
I started running in May 2018, and joined a local running club in May 2019. I run regularly. Prior to 2018 I used to commute by bike fairly regularly. It's all on strava.
Mostly travel photos from various trips at different times, intermixed with shots from in and around Birmingham. Selfies are rare.
Slack
You probably use slack at your workplace. If you'd like to chat on slack you can find me in the BrumTech community (this links to a self-invite form).
If you're a recruiter, and I don't already know you, please do not use this WhatsApp link.
Of course, you can always email me.
You can find me on LinkedIn, but I don't check in there very often. The messages in my inbox are mostly spam, so it's likely I'll miss messages from you there. You'll have better luck DMing me on Twitter.
