Hi, I’m Juan (pronounced like the French Jean) and this my online attic. War-time mentality slash “I might need it again” reigns supreme. Here you’ll find all my CC BY-NC-SA 4.0-licensed bits and pieces.

A few things about me. I

• have the mind of a child
• like pretty pictures
• love silly jokes
• seem to be the mindless bureaucrat of my own paperwork
• am one part opsimath, one part flâneur, with a pinch of angry 6 year old

My loved ones are known as DW, DD1, and DD2 for the sake of their privacy.

This site is mostly for me, as I’m a digital hoarder.

If this messy mind does appeal to you, feel free to reach out.

Quick chronology

• born in the seventies
• the 80s is a blur of playing LEGO and watching “Karate films” on VHS
• start programming in early nineties
• experience mid-life crises in late nineties, write an exegesis on the world, but sell the computer it’s on

Let’s continue…

• briefly join a few bands and make “interesting” alternative music whilst burning through a small lump sum
• hop over to Europe from Africa in the early 2000s with a view expand mind
• said mind increasingly runs in circles thinking of different things, like a terrible polyglot
• meet significant other around 2010s and finally feel like someone’s got my back
• the continuance of purpose is side-tracked by the arrival of offspring
• here we are now
