Anything I feel is interesting enough will probably end up in a gallery on here. I\u2019m always working on something new so keep an eye on the left side \u201cProject Galleries\u201d section for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I\u2019m not physically building things I tend to be at my computer, I\u2019m big into Linux and have been for the past 20+ years. I enjoy trying and testing new distributions and desktops, currently I run Archlinux on my desktop machines and Debian on the servers. I mostly use i3-gaps tiling window mananger and also XFCE as desktop envirnoments. I run a few servers one of which hosts this website using nginx as well as postfix, dovecot for SMTP\/IMAP and Bind for DNS. I\u2019m not into programming as much as I was when I was studying for my degree but I still dabble in Python \/ C \/ and various shell scripting languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said above I have a lot of hobbies and my other main likes are building my tool collection, collecting Magic the Gathering sets, collecting Blu-rays and CD\u2019s. I also have a keen interest in Bitcoin and the whole decentralized finance system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also mainly a PC Gamer and enjoy gaming but seem to have very little time for it these days. Steam is where 99% of my gaming library resides and my Steam FC can be found under the Information section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my personal site on all things engineering, technical, electrical, computing etc\u2026 Over the years I\u2019ve amassed a lot of pictures of projects I\u2019ve been working on and decided to publish them here on this site.
