I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

Windmill

2023-02-16/17 day 244/245 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). 
I followed a Tatyworks tutorial. In this tutorial, Tatiana demonstrated the use of the vanishing point guidelines. (I think. This is why I shouldn’t wait a month to do a write up. Sheesh.) I messed it up and didn’t quite follow the instructions properly, so I should do this again (but using another subject, of course.)
And this demonstrates what I like about her tutorials – I learn how to use the bits and bobs of the app.

Indian Ocean Sunset

2023-02-14/15 day 242/243 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). 

This is a very basic painting that’s basically me playing with oil brushes and seeing how it would go.

A few days ago, I switched over to using the Microsoft Edge browser since it had a few nifty features that I really liked — like the sidebar tools, the ability to “sleep” unused tabs, the Bing search integration with chat (I was testing it out) and so on …

I was happy with things till yesterday when I started noticing subtle issues:

1. Text copied from Edge and pasted into an edit box in macOS behaved strangely. This was rather weird because I’d try to delete (rather than backspace) using the “fn” key and it would go in the opposite direction for some text. Perhaps some leftover invisible encoding?

2. Sometimes you couldn’t click on elements around the edge of the browser window. This one was again weird because the issue would go away if you restarted the browser but over time would re-appear.

I finally had enough of it and switched back to Firefox today 😛

But …. After so many years of using Google as my default search engine, I switched to Bing since I like the Bing results better and I do want to keep testing the Bing Chat feature …

Well, if anyone knows of a full remote role for a Sr. Full Stack Engineer with significant AppSec experience, hit me up. Got laid off today. Sigh.

Resume is at https://jferg.dev/.

@Lee_Holmes I have three positions in my org https://humaninterest.com/careers/#jobOpenings

One Senior Security Engineer
One Threat Engineer
One Risk Analyst

If you toot me privately, I will probably be able to get to you faster. People are applying at a rate much higher than in Q4 22, for obvious and unfortunate reasons.

Looking for work
Show content

Trying to live on charity doesn't work yet, so I'm afraid I have to start looking for work.

I'm looking for a part-time job or one-offs, up to 20 hours a week (eye problems), fully remote, ideally text-only comms.

My primary expertise is , so effectively a little of everything and very little of anything specific. Preferably ; I also did enough C++ to avoid it.
