A father, a husband, and a cycle commuter. I make interweb stuff at Magpie, & consider ways to better use tech in my work place.

The Internet was built as a kind of decentralized democracy. Change is slow and messy but it protects us from a single entity forcing their will on us.

When you move your data and social graph to a closed platform you vote for authoritarian rule.

Such choices never end well.

Got an A rating on #ssllabsscan... Score lower than full rating due to weak ciphers. Does that matter? Running #raspberrypi as web server with #letsencrypt certificate... Should I be working to remove the weak ciphers? How?!

I really like the Quantock Hills. #RatherBeOutside

It was a lovely day up there. Cloudy and very dramatic in the distance. Wild and impressive.

Encouraged me to draw.

I really like data. I like what a lot of people do with it. Data can be used to make maps that help people out, make tools that get support to people in need, inform decisions to improve safety... But also... Data... #WorldWideWaste from Gerry McGovern

One of those days when I realise my work is driven by and for surveillance capitalism but I don't know how to make it stop. I know I gotta get out but... Hmmm...
