I'm a bit of an eclectic mess ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 ...

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/.

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.

This one was really special. Flickers spend a lot of time on the ground eating ants, and bird people spend a lot of time looking up. As soon as you see it itโ€™s already on its way somewhere else. But this time I was so lucky. I never flushed the bird; just turned back around and thanked the island for its gift.

2023-02-13 day 241 of doing art every day for a year (mostly โ€“ I took sick days off).ย 

I followed a Tatyworks tutorial. I went rogue in spots, which is becoming increasingly common. It was fun!

2023-02-11/12 day 239/240 of doing art every day for a year (mostly โ€“ I took sick days off).

This was a bit weird, but also strangely fun!

I followed another Tatyworks tutorial. And by follow, I mean sort of but not entirely. ๐Ÿคฃ I went rogue at one point, then reined it in at the end.

I used a photo I took of my dearly beloved, @Fahim, of course. And at one point, gave him entirely too many moustache curls. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I fixed it, though. The curls were a bit much.

Halfway through, I quit. I hated it at that point. Then a day later, I figured, nope, gotta finish it. Itโ€™s all about learning something, right? Right? I mean, thatโ€™s why I do these tutorials. Right? ๐Ÿคฃ So I finished it. And here is the most lovely result.

For a link to a timelapse and the tutorial, follow this link: https://lmashton.com/retro-fahim/
