My #introduction post. I’m a Canadian entrepreneur.

#Graphic artist, lifelong #musician, industrial #design school graduate, long-time #coder of things with microchips. Cross platform agnostic — all computers are good #mac #pc #unix, #linux, #ios, #macos, #android. Lives in the future & thankful for it. Loves #books, #movies, #cars, #airplanes, #computers, musical #instruments & fine #clothing. #He.

I dislike racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes and bigots of all types.

New instance intro.

Hello, I'm Paul, a Canadian #homebrewing dad that works on #mainframes all day to feed his young monkey and wife.

I love #tech, #streetart, and #PunkRock

Big into reading books, not burning them. Working on (so much editing!!!) a potluck book club podcast with cooler calmer friends.

Inspire to be a more organized #maker and #coder, but may have #ADHAhhLookSquirrel.

I used to teach, coach, and parachute pack/rig in #skydiving for 10 years, but parenting is more Xtreme!

I think I shouldn't hide my poems anymore. I have farooqkz.com domain now. I think I will do a static website at poetry.farooqkz.com with hugo. Then with a custom theme and perhaps some Javascript, I will give each poem a hash and name the poem after the last 2-3 hexadecimal digits of the poem.

I wonder if I can do the hashnaming with hugo alone and without using JS. Also the website must have 3 languages. However all websites I've done with hugo till now are mono.

BTW, Do you think it should be "Programmer Poet" or "Poet Programmer"? For someone like me who generates both code and poems

#poetry#poem#poet

So, I make bits of software, mostly plug-ins for platforms like #DaVinciResolve or #Blender, mostly because I have a particular thing that needs doing that no-one has catered to. And I yoik them up to Codeberg and if I'm feeling organised I'll write them up on my blog, so that anyone else that has the same particular need can benefit too. I have no intention of selling them, because marketing stuff is not something I remotely enjoy doing, testing and bug fixing is too time consuming, and because I consider it payment for all the free software I get to use.
Generally I release everything under the #GPL3, because it's the one I know about. I'm not really a #coder, and I'm far less a #lawyer, so I have no idea if this is the best option.
So the question I want to #AskFedi is: what do you do with small #code projects you write? What license do you release them under and why, and how do you go about distributing them?
I've only ever had one or two people fork my code or make PRs, I don't think a lot of people in my industry also code, so everything I do is a solo project. So I'd be interested in how people find collaborators for stuff they do.

If you ever consider learning to code and think about doing it with
Webmasters Europe - just don't!

It''s the worst way of learning. The didactic is a nightmare.

It's literally like:

Theory: "You need eggs, flour and milk to bake a cake."

Test: "Now you try: Bake a three-tier-wedding cake with angels and chocolate frosting"

So I should re #introduce myself; used to host my own instance at artemai when that was a thing; decided to get back on Mastodon again because the rest of social is a dumpsterfire.

I'm a #UNIX sysadm originally (from the late 90s) but started using #Linux 🐧 in 91, bringing early ☎️ dialup internet to #Newcastle with community group hunter #apana.

I'm a #coder, #python 🐍 is the go-to language these days, some #js but plenty of #C and some #golang too.

Ten years ago I landed in #liveevents and #visionswitch / 📹 #camera #direct #sports presentation in major 🏟️ #stadiums along with building software for data-driven #content for use in those environments.

I'm a #ham 📻 radio operator. Callsign VK2WAY. I'm mostly interested in signals processing and digital communications.

I used to officiate 🛼#RollerDerby but have streamed it since 2014 as Downunder Derby TV. I still manage socials for and help co-ordinate Queer Roller Derby - @queerderby.

I'm #queer 🏳️‍🌈 #pansexual ❤️💛💙 #poly 👫👬 #nonbinary 💛🤍💜🖤 and use they/them pronouns.
