1972 vintage human meatbag. By day I work as a Developer Advocate for Axiom. By night I’m a married dad to two amazing kids. I also like cats, but really want a dog.

Retired
Retired projects.
- https://tipcast.org/ - a podcast project that never happened, but might, who knows!?
- https://ubuntuupdate.com/ - was used for a podcast
- https://ubuntupodcast.org/ - A podcast, about Ubuntu (mostly) which I present with Mark and Martin.
- https://havethebuttonsmovedbackyet.com/ - This was a little poke at people who complained bitterly when we moved the window controls from the right to the left of the window, in Unity. I made this site which had “No” on it until 2017 when we switched to GNOME Shell and with it, the window controls moved back. Hence the screenshot on the site now.
The VPS is hosted by BitFolk who aren’t sponsoring the site or content, but they’re friends, and I like their services. If you’re looking for a reliable VPS host, consider using BitFolk. Tell them I sent you. :)
