I'm a software developer from Melbourne, Australia. I like open-source software
|
|
|
|
|
and warm weather (Melbourne is not in the warm part of Australia
|
|
|
|
|
unfortunately). I enjoy tinkering with computers, ranging from small
|
|
|
|
|
microcontrollers up to large servers and the operating systems that run upon
|
|
|
|
|
them.

I run [Arch Linux] on [my desktop computer][my desktop] and [Void
|
|
|
|
|
Linux (musl)][Void Linux] on [my laptop], with the [Awesome] window manager.
|
|
|
|
|
The [server hosting this website][my server] runs [Alpine Linux].

I prefer typing on mechanical keyboards. I have a small collection in a range of
|
2020-01-27 06:53:47 +00:00
|
|
|
sizes. All are fully programmable. My current favourite is a Filco Majestouch
|
|
|
|
|
Ninja 2, which has had the factory controller replaced with a programmable one.

[Rust] is my programming language of choice. I am fairly active in the Rust
|
|
|
|
|
community and curate [Read Rust], a website that collects interesting posts
|
|
|
|
|
from the Rust community.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I work at [YesLogic] on the [Prince] HTML to PDF converter. Prince is a very
|
|
|
|
|
interesting product to work on as it is essentially a web-browser that outputs
|
|
|
|
|
well typeset PDFs. It is largely implemented in the [Mercury] logic programming
|
|
|
|
|
language, with portions now in [Rust] as well.

I am fine with either he/him or they/them pronouns.
