Hi, I'm Wes (he/him). I'm a software developer originally from Melbourne,
|
|
Australia. I now live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. I like open-source
|
|
software and warm weather. I enjoy tinkering with computers, ranging from small
|
|
microcontrollers up to large servers and the operating systems that run upon
|
|
them. I like to take photos around my home and places I visit. The better ones
|
|
end up on [Flickr].
|
|
|
|
[Arch Linux] is my primary desktop operating system, with the [COSMIC] desktop.
|
|
However, I have migrated to [Chimera Linux] on my laptop and plan to eventually
|
|
do the same on my desktop. I detailed my desktop computing stack in more detail
|
|
in the post [Tech Stack 2024](@/posts/2024/tech-stack/index.md).
|
|
|
|
The server hosting this website runs [Alpine Linux] and is hosted by
|
|
[Vultr]<sup>(affiliate link)</sup>. I've written more about my personal server
|
|
infrastructure in
|
|
[Rebuilding My Personal Infrastructure With Alpine Linux and Docker][my server].
|
|
|
|
This site is built with the [Zola] static site compiler and [the source
|
|
code][src] is published on GitHub. I have some other websites as well: you can
|
|
read more about my operating system adventures on [bitcannon.net]. I maintain a
|
|
custom-built link blog at [linkedlist.org](https://linkedlist.org/). Finally, I
|
|
have a retro-themed website hosted at home on a LattePanda single board
|
|
computer. It's a lot of fun to work on and is an ode to late 90s and early
|
|
2000s websites and the computers we used to make
|
|
them:<br><http://home.wezm.net/~wmoore/>.

|
|
I prefer typing on mechanical keyboards. I have a small collection in a range
|
|
of sizes. Almost all are fully programmable. My current favourite is a [WK870]
|
|
with Gateron G Pro 2.0 brown switches. This keyboard is not programmable, so I
|
|
use [keyd] to do low-level key-mapping on Linux. You can see
|
|
[my configuration][keyd.conf] in my [dotfiles repo][dotfiles].
|
|
|
|
[Rust] is my preferred programming language. I am fairly active in the Rust
|
|
community and used to curate [Read Rust], a website that collected interesting
|
|
posts about Rust.
