Time for a new #introductions

I am ostensibly human and can prove it cryptographically.

I like Art, all art, and most technologies. I hack mostly Perl, Bash, and Python but have spent the most of my time building websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (ever since Flash/ActionScript died). I've been working with AI since long before LLMs were a thing, mostly for creative endeavors. I survived the flame wars and will no longer tolerate that kind of behavior. I am not a "Real Programmer" and neither is anyone else.

I play guitar, mandolin, some piano & drums, and I'm picking up ukulele a little. I crochet manageably and knit poorly. I can still do a fair number of my old magic tricks, but nobody really wants to see that kinda stuff anymore. I occasionally draw, collage, and paint as well as repair most household objects.

I have art and writing on my website(s), and if you can find them all hopefully you enjoy some of it, because I am not a "Content Creator" and I'm not interested in becoming an "Influencer," I just want to make stuff and experience life and share it with the world at my discretion.

I'm married with 2 kids, but usually I keep them out of my online interactions for their privacy.

Here's some hashtags I follow:
#art #history #retro #music #pocketmusic #gameboy #android #chiptunes #bots #ML #AI #guitar #mandolin #busking #streetphotography #streetart #stickerart #magic #webdesign #webdevelopment #uspolitics #dsa #zen #scifi #php #bash #python #javascript #node #automation #discordia #education

Joined Mastodon a couple of weeks ago but just moved servers, so here is my #introductions post (again)!

I am a #music lover, a #rambler, a #gig and #festival goer, a #scifi #geek, a #gamer and a #beer drinker from #Derby #UK.

I'll be mainly posting random thoughts about #nerd stuff, #TV, #movies, #games, #retro or whatever pops into my head.

Recently took part in #Inktober, didn't draw a Mastodon but I did do a baby Armadillo.

Hi all! We're the folks behind Co-op Cloud (https://coopcloud.tech), a project which aims to build out a digital configuration commons for tech co-ops and democratic tech collectives. Our approach aims to maximise sharing, co-operation and reuse for setting up and maintaining libre software infrastructure. We have a public matrix room at ` #coopcloud:autonomic.zone`, feel welcome! The project is currently in public alpha and super young ☁️ 🎩 💻
