I'm a 🇬🇧, living in 🇳🇴. I write here mostly in English. I like minimalist cycles. I commute primarily by #Unicycle, #PennyFarthing, (non-motorised) scooter (a.k.a. #Footbike) and "#Halfbike ™".
I also like minimalist tech: non-smartphones, old school digital watches (#Casio), Slackware, Gemini/Gopher.
Professionally, I work for @Vivaldi as a QA and release manager for the desktop (Win/Mac/Lin) version.
