Dan Dart

Hi, I'm Dan Dart. I am a software engineer, sysadmin and blogger.

My blog describes my thoughts and latest releases of my projects.

You can contact me via email (please use GPG, here is my key), twitter, linkedin, or see my github. Here is my SSH public key.

This website is not flashy, and is kept to a minimum for optimal use on all devices.

Professionally

I am a software engineer. I usually code in Javascript these days, and occasionally the odd bit of PHP.

At my previous jobs I've worked with companies like Mitsubishi, Mobile Fun, CANDDi and Chadex.

You can also hire me for the development of your website or project.

I attend Linux User Groups, where and when I can.

Lately I've attended Tyneside LUG and Durham LUG.

I am a radio ham and my callsign is M0ORI . I am also a board member of and can tweet for Angel of the North Amateur Radio Club and secretary of Tyneside Amateur Radio Society. I am also able to update and maintain both sites.

I'm addicted to caffeine, and my preferred alcoholic beverage is probably port.

I enjoy maths, physics and computer science, and some of my favourite YouTube channels are Numberphile and Vsauce.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at an early age.

I am a collector of hats, and I own a small topper, a lightbulb bowler, a sombrero, a bucket hat and my pope hat for ceremonies (see below).

I like first-person shooters. My favourites are Quake and Cube 2: Sauerbraten. I'm also a big fan of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

My favouriteGNU/Linuxdistro at the moment is Kubuntu, but my all-time favourite operating system is RISC OS.

Podcast-wise, I listen to Hour of Slack and used to listen to Linux Outlaws before it shut down in December of 2014 (beautifully spoofed on Uncyclopedia).

I enjoy prog rock, heavy metal, ambient and classical music,and also create my own experimental music (see below).

I also enjoy discordant and nonsensical commentary.

I am a follower of the teachings of Eris and "Bob" (although I am yet to be ordained).
