I've been on the Fediverse since January 2017. I initially ran a single-user instance of Mastodon. In March 2020 I started to write Ktistec, my own implementation of an ActivityPub server in Crystal (a language with the ergonomics of Ruby but the speed of Go) because I wanted something more supportive of writing. This #introduction was written and published on Epiktistes, my Ktistec instance.

I'm an Engineer by training but now I run teams for companies in climate-tech.

I love #music, #sciencefiction and #fantasy literature (yes, I'm an R. A. Lafferty fan), attend fan conventions like #worldcon and #dragoncon, and do regular #weightlifting. I am also learning to play the #bagpipes, and I'm (re)learning #japanese.

I can't go into a grocery store without hearing music from the 1980's. It's not where I expected things to be musically in the 2020's but, leaning in a bit, please consider Urgh! A Music War (1981), a collection of live tracks from lesser known bands and performers like Oingo Boingo, Klaus Nomi, Wall of Voodoo, and many more (okay, The Police, too)!

I'd really like to hear more of this in grocery stores...!
