Hello :)
Hello! I'm Chris, a software developer from the UK. That's me over in the picture.
My
$dayjob generally involves Android app development, but I also have an excessive collection
of side projects. Outside of
, I enjoy
,
, puzzle hunts, DIY,
,
, escape rooms, and tinkering with electronics.
This website houses my blog and some other random bits and bobs. There's a full site map if you want a quick overview of what's here. Here are my latest blog posts:
Further Adventures in Music Organisation
I wrote before about how I’d dropped Spotify in favour of locally stored music, but things have advanced a bit since. I had a few issues: Tauon would occasionally manage to lose its database and along with it all my carefully constructed playlists and song ratings, and the experience on my phone was not very fun.
Blogging and the Imaginary Quality Bar
Recently I realised that I’ve developed a self-imposed quality bar for blog posts. They need to be a certain length, and have a certain substance to them. They need to be generally useful in some way I can’t quite define, to some imagined future audience. They need to have images to break up the page, and opengraph data for when they’re linked to on social media. But… maybe they don’t? Those things all make sense for longer “article” type posts, but not so much for a personal blog.
