Hi, I'm Gnome

Just your casual internet nerd

Hi!

Hi!

Welcome to my little piece of internet; it's currently a bit vacant I know, but doesn't every plot of land start out this way?

As stated on the index, I am a recent graduate of Swansea University, Wales, with a First Class M.Sc. in Computer Science. As many of my posts mention, I live with several registered, and specific, learning difficulties, and am a neurodivergent individual. In additional to this, I identify as non-binary, asexual, and aromantic.

I am a fan of puzzles. Usually the mental kind, that you can wrap your mind around - I'm frequently found messing with something. Chiefly this would be Rubik's Cubes, but not always. Currently, I average about 55 seconds on the 4x4 (k4), 1 minute 40 (ish) on 5x5 (also k4), and because I don't solve it all that often, something like 20 seconds on 3x3 (Roux).

I've also been known to spend way too much time playing games like MineCraft, and Factorio, building insanely complicated rail networks for no reason other than "why not?". And like seemingly everyone these days, I own a camera - a Canon 2000D - and am slowly learning how to use it.

In addition to this, I'm also a watcher of Anime, listener of Symphonic Metal, a fairly regular eater of Noodles (who isn't) and, a great enjoyer of Scottish Whisky.

Whilst this site does contain a blog, of sorts, I do not expect, nor plan, to be posting with any set frequency. I pretty much only write when I have something to say, and that isn't all that often. And honestly, they're less like blog posts, and more like ramblings anyway...

With all that said, feel free to browse. 🙂
