Systems administrator based in Launceston, Tasmania. I spend most of my time on Linux and
macOS — automating repetitive tasks, building tools for other sysadmins,
and keeping servers running cleanly.
Everything I publish is something I actually run. The cleanup scripts started
because I was tired of doing the same twelve steps on every new machine.
The sysadmin knife started because I wanted one tool instead of twelve open
tabs. The POE marketer started because spreadsheets got boring.
I'm a Discord community owner and social facilitator. I've moderated and
administered multiple intentional communities — some north of 50,000 members —
and eventually built a space called Home for myself and the
people who feel the same way about it. The philosophy is straightforward:
everyone has fun, nobody gets upset, and words are just words. No prohibitive
moderation, no language policing. About half the community is neurodivergent
or LGBTQ+ and that's just how it is. I accept all living humans — just not
hateful ones. Unless I think they can be saved. I'm neither left nor right —
somewhere in between, guided by common sense. I care about people. I don't
care about being politically correct.
I will never pretend to know something I don't fully understand — if I
don't know it properly, I'll say so. And if I run into a massive ego in
the wild, I'll happily play the fool and let them talk.
Outside work: hanging out in Home on Discord, and writing
things for everyday life and work using my offline WorkSafe AI script — my
way of getting something useful out of this AI era without sending everything
to someone else's server.
