Introduction
Me, Myself and I:
Greetings friend, this is my personal blog and you have reached the About Me page! So allow me to introduce myself, I am a computing graduate from Scotland that emphasises minimalist design and practical outcomes.
I also spent time studying a wide range of subjects including Language, History, Archaeology, Anthropology and Linguistics.
Why Dunkelheit?
Dunkelheit is the German word for darkness, it is also the name of one of my favourite black metal tracks. The song’s atmosphere and tone conjure imagery of a time of darkness.
I found this title appropriate as the concept of a digital dark age is something that I believe we are now living in.
What I mean by this is: I really miss the old internet before social media conglomerates took all the fun away.
Hobbies
- Programming:
- I have refound my passion for programming and have recently taken it back up as a hobby and intended career.
- Reading:
- I am an avid reader, I enjoy books from way too many subjects to list here, so instead why don’t you check out my library?
- Warhammer:
- I’m mostly interested in Warhammer 40K and for the time being I am more interested in painting models than playing the game.
- I would like to get into the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game as well however it is cost prohibitive to enter a new Games Workshop hobby on a whim!
