Can we use #Permaculture design principles to create an ethical way to send things around town, around the country, around the world?
Why not? Comrades, let us float the goods! 💚💚💚

Hi I'm Chris. I'm a dad. An enterprise software architect. A reader of books. A snapper of photos. A hiker to trigs. A lover not a fighter.

Professional computer booper at MetService.
Mooing as a Service.
Tinkerer.
Engineer.

Maintainer of https://myjobs.quest .
Failed botanist.
Not user friendly.
I never have enough Raspberry Pis (~10~ ~11~ ~12~ ~13~ ~14~ ~15~ ~16~ ~17~ 18 and counting).
My desk is usually a mess.
And so is my life.
Views are property of my landlord.
Unless they have to pay for the repairs.

I chat about quiet instrumental music, music-making (Bitwig - my solo music is as Jet Jaguar, my most active collaboration is a duo, Tonkyn Pearson), linguistics, movies, cooking...

My day job is helping mostly public sector organisations to improve how they manage their information. I doubt I'll write much about that, but very open to conversation about it.

Love IS the answer.
