New instance, new #introduction

I'm a former academic (philosophy) and currently a stay at home dad. I'm a self taught programmer and data nerd. Interested in history, science, maths. Most of my posts will be about gardening, dumb jokes, indie video games, science fiction, programming languages, philosophy and parenting. Also I will regularly make fun of crypto.

So you're telling me there's sand in this wich?

Dude with an excellent beard just got on this train. Real evil wizard shit.

Yesterday I did two job interviews and it was very stressful. Well, I've been offered both jobs, so now I'm still stressed out deciding between them.

Come on brain, give me a break.

The vanity number plate paradox: no matter what letters you ask to have put on your plates, they always spell out "I'm a massive wanker".

My brain decided to think "Wizard Rappers: Arcane in the Membrane" and now I've made your brain think it too.
