Leftie; both politically and on the old guitar. Software development and occasional hot takes.
Retro game dev (Spectrum Spectrum Next and MonoGame) and home music writing/recording as hobbies. C#, WPF, Delphi etc. Some Pico-8 releases.
Father to a 13 year old who thinks she’s at least 18. Divorced once!
Happily living in the countryside with my girlfriend & her teenage son, all rather too close to a volatile river in Cheshire.

I find this road sign to be most offensive.

It's "one fewer CEO", not "one less CEO".

It's Canadian content time! I have two songs by this artist on my playlist and I chose this one because of the video.

Any Swift UK developers - what’s the Swift job market like? Haven’t done any for about 3 years, have missed using it but back then it always felt a wee bit niche. Might be time to “find my happy” again.
I can see bits and bobs here & there… is there much SwiftUI yet?

UK devs pls share, thanks.

Back from 4 days working in Würzburg and then a weekend in Sheffield. Feels like I’ve been away much more than a week.
The cabin is quite chilly but dry. Just popping out for my 5G booster jab then a day of “normal” work, and then tonight I need to dig into the electrical problem on my new bike (hint: I think I left it on after a wash, and flattened the battery. Too many electronics in these new vehicles!)
