I think it's worth me doing a new #Introduction:

Hi! I'm Chris! I write code, I make things, and I parent.

My posts are generally about a few key areas: #Programming, #HamRadio, #TTRPG and #Parenting.

As far as programming, I mostly focus on #DotNet #CSharp professionally, with a smattering of #WebDev using #TypeScript. For my "not professional" development, I do a lot of #GameDev in #Godot (usually using C#, though not always!), and I adore #FunctionalProgramming, particularly in #FSharp, but also in many other languages! I stream software and game development on Twitch at twitch.tv/b4ux1t3. The schedule on there is not currently correct (January 2025), but should be soon.

When it comes to ham radio, I mostly focus on #DigitalModes, though I do a little bit of #POTA and #SOTA (well, I want to, anyway!). I'm a big user of #APRS and #PacketRadio. I try to be active on #YSF via the inimitable KJ7OMO@mastodon.radio's (edit: removed the mention here to prevent accidental mentions!) pride radio network, though mostly I listen. If you'd like my callsign, feel free to DM me. I do not list it publicly, but I'm not shy about handing it out in a more private setting.

Regarding TTRPG, I'm mostly a forever GM who runs #ShadowdarkRPG, #BladesInTheDark, #MorkBorg and #Mausritter, though I love most #OSR games and often mix and match rules and stuff. I don't _hate_ #DnD, #dnd5e or otherwise, it's just not the sort of thing I enjoy running. I also GM professionally on startplaying.games/gm/b4ux1t3!

Outside of that, some of my posts are about #Crochet, #BookBinding, #Woodworking, #Mathematics, #Linguistics, #TokiPona and, well, lots of other things

I have lots of links in my profile if you'd like to know more about me!

@ai6yr omg I’ve been keeping new 2022 Windows 11 Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 completely OFFline-hard to do since just RMS Winlink alone updates all the time. Haven’t been able to ascertain if rolling back to another Windows would solve this ai issue or Linux or?! (Mac household; loading Mac up w everything-but RTSystems lame, no VARA, no RMS…) Suggestions for OS on Galaxy Book2? New computer? Stick to Mac running Windows7 w Parallels?! #hamradio #windowsalt #Windows11alt #digitalmodes

G'day! I'm a new VK ham living on Awabakal and Worimi country, previously on Gadigal country, and originally on Kaurna country.

Hash-tagging more than usual because it's an #Introduction post…

Accidental #SDR #RadioAstronomy, #SatNOGS, and some intense #antenna design binges got me within cooee of #HamRadio. I'm more #QRP than not, well inclined to play with #DigitalModes starting with #WSPR, and have a stupid idea for a particularly 'strine #BTOTA “contest”.
