Hiya!

This site is pretty basic for now, but I'll add more to it as time goes on!

About Me

Some information about me (fairly vague, sorry! I was raised in the era of 'never tell anyone online anything about your real life', rather than what seems sometimes like today's world of 'post your full name, age, recent photograph and exact longitude and latitude in your social media bio'. Typing this out probably makes me sound like a old person grumbling about 'kids these days', but I think hopefully strikes a chord here on the small web?)

• I was born in the early-to-mid '90s
• I live in England
• My pronouns are they/she (I'm still in the process of working out what feels right on that front, so don't be surprised if this changes...)
• I work as a computer programmer, previously at a big company (though not one you'll have heard of) and for the last few years at a very small one
• I'm interested in programming, especially things like games or creative coding (but my experience is mostly standard enterprisey stuff so I've got a lot to learn on that front)

That's all pretty boring, here's some more random stuff to get to know me:

• My favourite Pokémon is Ampharos
• My favourite book series is Wayfarers by Becky Chambers (link to book 1)
• I'm currently working on a Bitsy-inspired 'engine' for making little worlds that can be explored in a Linux terminal window (no guarantees on if/when I'll finish though!)
• I have multiple unfinished Bitsy games sitting on my PC and have yet to actually publish one, which perhaps doesn't bode too well...
• Also, before anyone gets their hopes up, my tool won't be compatible with the Bitsy game file format, sorry!
• I currently have 24 physical books in my 'to be read' pile (and am expecting more for Christmas...)
• The less said about how many samples and freebies are digitally piled up on my ereader, the better...

I've not done much HTML/CSS, so bear with me as I learn and don't be surprised if the style of this site changes wildly over the near future!

I'm also hoping to join tilde.town soon (the reason I've created this Neocities account is because they ask for some links to a web presence when signing up, hopefully this site makes me look normal (or at least the right kind of weird, which is probably an easier target for me!)) If they approve my account I'll probably move my main 'personal' pages over to there and keep this site for more social/fan stuff.

This site (design and content) is super-basic right now, sorry! It's still a work in progress!

(progess is likely to be quite slow over the Christmas period...)
