Research scientist, sort of.

Uses

what is a ‘/uses’ page?

A list of things I use, tolerate, or somehow rely on, almost on a daily basis. Some of them I love. Some are just there. All of them have seen more of me than most humans have.

Updated whenever something breaks, gets replaced, or becomes part of my workflow by accident.
