This is an old personal blog with content that covers way more than one topic. Use the categories and/or tags mentioned at the bottom of individual posts if you would like to filter certain types of posts. More recent posts can be found on my Substack/Ghost .
Some of the content on here goes back many years and may as such be hopelessly outdated, not to mention mismatching in terms of colours and formatting, and don’t even start me on the dead links… On any professional website I’d be meticulously cleaning and fixing issues like that, on here I’m not. Please be mindful of this if you decide to scroll back far into my internet past.
