Welcome to Hugh's internet web site!

I live in Naarm/Melbourne and was born and raised in lutruwita/Tasmania.

I'm a librarian and computer toucher.

I occassionally write blog posts, or share links to stuff I find interesting and sometimes do talks and presentations at conferences.

🧑‍🔧 We have the technology

Gemini is a fun new protocol running on the Internet. It's like the Web but without all the annoying bits.

Rust is a powerful programming language designed for safety and performance. I've been learning how to write simple compiled software programs with it, which is pretty cool!

Bookwyrm is a social network for tracking your reading, talking about books, writing reviews, and discovering what to read next.

It's built on the ActivityPub standard used by other social software like Mastodon and Write Freely.

I'm also a big fan of running hot water.
