Travel
I live on a boat, and have been cruising around the Baltic. Do you want to join?
Previously, I have travelled by bicycle. In 2013, I travelled by bike and boat from Mexico to Colombia. I attached a solar panel to the bike and made a charger for my laptop so I could write even when away from civilisation for a while. I left with the idea of going to Patagonia, but I wanted to do something else by the time I got to Colombia. I would like to go back to South America sometime. I called the trip Cycle Who. I've written an Introduction, an FAQ, and blog posts tagged Cycle Who.
In Winter 2011-2012 I went to the Canary Islands to try and hitch a lift in a boat to South America. I didn't get there but I discovered the Canary Islands. Blog posts covering this adventure are tagged "serbla".

Work
I occasionally take on freelance software development jobs. Previously I have worked as a software engineer at internet startups on distributed systems, machine learning, and both front and back end web development. I have built a product all the way from the business model, through UX design, and front and backend development, to automated deployment and hosting network architecture.
I am available to hire now.
Radio
The domain name of this site is my amateur radio callsign. I have not been active on amateur radio recently, but previously I have participated in SOTA, and I plan to install an HF radio on the boat. See the radio section of the site if interested.
Bloviations from the Phrontistery
River is a humanoid based on the planet Earth (pictured above). It likes computering, adventures through time and space, and being a cat.
Would you care for a tickybox?
The last article I wrote was Trustroots.
The last event I replied to was Hacken Open Air 2::18.
Rivers are people too!

I was very ready for the rain. I don’t think I have known a high to last so long. I’m sitting in the cockpit with the tent up, but sides partly open, so I can have some wind and rain while keeping computer dry.
The timing, the morning after the blood moon, seems just right.
If Theresa May doesn’t like EU immigrants maybe she should introduce a Pole tax.
