π Welcome to my Blog
Hi, and welcome to my little home on the open web - I'm so glad you're here!
This blog is part of a broader experiment in building a self-hosted, privacy-conscious, open-source-powered space where I can share thoughts, resources, and experiments across both personal and professional life.
Whether you're here for localisation nerdery, digital decluttering tips, or reflections on tech and identity, I hope you'll find something that resonates.
π Why Ghost?
This blog runs on Ghost - a fast, modern, and open-source publishing platform that suits my style perfectly. It lets me:
- Write in Markdown (π yes please)
- Focus on content, not clutter
- Host and control everything myself
I'm a big believer in digital autonomy, and Ghost strikes a great balance between ease of use and self-hosted power. If you're into that kind of thing, you'll find Ghost and other tools I use listed on my FOSS Recs page - always growing!
β¨ What to Expect
Youβll find posts across a few categories:
- Updates - site news, changes to my tech stack, and personal updates
- Reflections - thoughts on work, life, identity, and faith
- Tech / Dev / LangOps - tips, experiments, rants and resources from my work in localisation and beyond
- Creative - poems, visual stuff, random sparks
I'm trying to keep this space intentionally human - less polished perfection, more genuine process. Expect honesty, curiosity, and plenty of purple πΈ
Thanks for stopping by - and if youβre into RSS, go ahead and plug this blog into your reader of choice. See you in the next post!
