About
This is my website.
It started off as an experiment in 1996, and it's still here!
It doesn't get updated much, but you can also find me on
Instagram and other social networks.Bio
I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and grew up in Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
I moved back to Edinburgh for university and later lived in London.
I'm currently living in Edinburgh for the third time!
My employers have described me as a software engineer. IMDB describes me as an actor, writer and composer. I describe myself as peckish.

6 months since I left my job! If they'd granted me a sabbatical, this might have been my first day back. Instead I'm sipping a cocktail (tea) by the pool (kitchen sink)

Just got unreasonably excited because my hookup flaking out is an ideal opportunity to do my new jigsaw. 40 has hit me hard, it seems

My boiler's on its last legs, so I decided to try out IR heating instead. Don't currently have enough panels for the whole apartment, but this is the first time in weeks I've had to turn the central heating on

Just realised you can get the back-to-top-of-feed button to perfectly obscure people's profile pictures! Vertical alignment only works sometimes, though, so it's like a little mini-game to find a perfect fit!Unrelated: I'm currently unemployed
