First Post - About the Site and Author
About this Site
This site is intended to be a blog of short updates of variable frquency, so I can post assorted notes and rants and links that interest me - in contrast to my older site which is more of an old-school (in several senses) website broken down by content categories and not the time that things were posted.
The two sites may be merged in the future - when I rebuilt my website in 2017 it was done partly with the intention of also putting a blog on the site, but I found mixing the two styles of content delivery put me off. With the site mostly large monolithic projects it discouraged me from making small incremental updates, posting offtopic things or starting new sections.
Starting this blog as a clean slate should help me get past that block, and be comfortable posting little things.
Why "Readable by All"?
It's a pun on the domain name and this being a public site.
Why "drwxr-xr-x"?
If you're using a Unix-like operating system you probably get this already, and if you're not, it's probably not worth explaining.
About the Author
I'm a former academic/researcher/teacher/developer, now effectively unable to work and now retired permanently on disability pension.
In the time when I'm able to have at least the upper half of my body in the vertical position, I play a few intruments and many different games, and try to cook food that won't aggravate my medical issues.
Qualifications?
I know this may be asked sometime later when I start posting science content:
- Bachelor of Science (Honours First Class)
- Victoria University, Melbourne, 2015
- Bachelor of Computer Science
- RMIT University, Melbourne, 2011
- Bachelor of Engineering
- RMIT University, Melbourne, 2011
Note: In Australia, Honours is usually a separate, short degree with at least 50% research content done just after undergraduate studies, a sort of mini-research-postgrad. It's not usually awarded alongside your undergraduate degree(s) or for getting a high mark in your undergraduate, which seems to be more common in the UK or US.
Research I've Written
All my formal/official forensics research work done at Victoria University or RMIT University is covered at research.dylanleigh.net.
