I’m a DevOps architect, musician, animal lover and all-round geek. If it’s got shiny lights on it, makes loud noises or purrs/wags its tail when you stroke it, I’m all for it. When I’m not writing code or fiddling with computers for a living, I produce my own music and provide the low-end rumble for my band in West Sussex.

[S2E5] Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer

Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer: [s2e5]

"Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer" is the ultimate love letter to 80s arcade culture, wrapped in a high-stakes Cold War countdown. It’s the episode that turned "nerding out" into a life-saving skill. The Plot: Missile Command and Math

There’s something inherently charming about a show where the world doesn't need a super-soldier or a hacker; it needs a guy who understands the specific movement patterns of 8-bit pixels. Key Moment: [S2E5] Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer

We finally get a deep dive into the enigmatic, creepy, and strangely brilliant mind of Jeff Barnes. Seeing him treated like a high-stakes athlete—complete with a training montage and "The Final Countdown" playing—is peak Chuck comedy. "Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer" is the ultimate love

The climax, where Chuck has to take over for Jeff, is a masterclass in tension. It bridges the gap between Chuck’s "real" life as a retail clerk and his "spy" life, proving that his specialized knowledge isn't just a hobby—it’s his greatest weapon. Key Moment: We finally get a deep dive

Rant ahead: I hate TLS “Inspection” software with a burning passion and I wish we collectively as an industry would just knock it the fuck off and stop pretending it’s some great security benefit. Every time I encounter it, in whatever form, it’s a gigantic headache that makes everyone’s life worse off and as far as I am concerned offers next to zero tangible benefits.

AmigaGuide Reference Library

As I slowly but surely work towards the next release of my setcmd project for the Amiga (see the 68k branch for the gory details and my total noob-like C flailing around), I’ve made heavy use of documentation in the AmigaGuide format. Despite it’s age, it’s a great Amiga-native format and there’s a wealth of great information out there for things like the C API, as well as language guides and tutorials for tools like the Installer utility - and the AmigaGuide markup synta...

Disqus - An Apology

Earlier today, I got an email alerting me to an angrier than usual comment on this website. It was a proper keyboard warrior rant accusing me of all sorts of misdeads revolving around “forcing ads down people’s throats”. I replied saying that there had never been any ads on this site, never will be and I detest the enshitification trend of the modern Internet too. I also have found much of today’s web unbearable without tools such as Pi-Hole and a VPN; I use Firefox with...

Amiga Systems Programming in 2023

If you ever get a chance to look through the classic Amiga OS source-code still floating around some murky corners of the internet, it is a thing of beauty and astonishing capabilities. It’s an inspirational piece of computing history with unmatched capabilities for the time. Remember, this was all on a computer released in the 1980s with 512Kb memory, a 7Mhz 68000 16-bit CPU, and a single floppy drive with 880Kb storage. On these limited specs, AmigaOS provided a pre-empt...
