What I’m doing now

My current focus away from the noise of social media

Current focus

Last updated: 11 June 2026

  1. Spending the summer in England

    I’ll be in the UK most of the summer. There’s a World Cup to fret about, after all, and that requires the emotional support of my country people.
    If you’re around too, drop me a line.

  2. Abandoning Windows once and for all

    It feels quite nostalgic to be back using Ubuntu desktop in anger for the first time since it was a technological and economic necessity (i.e. when I lugged a 10″ netbook around New Zealand nearly 20 years ago).
    It’s actually awesome.

  3. Gearing up for a long hike I can only do in a European summer

    Might be Kungsleden; might be something in the Alps (Slovenian Mountain Trail, maybe?). Either way, I want to take full advantage of the opportunity.

  4. Building the Trail Almanac

    This will be an all-singing, all-dancing directory of long-distance hiking trails, combining my passion for the outdoors and promoting dirtbag inclusivity with my data architecture and web skills. I’m really excited to make this come to fruition.
