Hello :)

Hello! I'm Chris, a software developer from the UK. Welcome to my personal website.

The site is mostly organised around a bunch of slash pages:

  • /posts is where all my blog posts live
  • /projects lists my various side projects
  • /interests is a big ol' list of things I'm into
  • /films logs films I've seen and my reviews of them
  • /uses has an overview of the software, hardware, services, and so on, that I use
  • /contact provides a way to drop me an e-mail
  • /colophon details a bit about how the site is made
  • /snippets has little bits of code or other info I find useful
  • /sitemap is a more exhaustive list of contents

If you're just here for the blog posts, the latest ones are:
