About me

I am 69 years old, autistic, and retired.

Hobbies

Catching up on reading and films, playing chess, messing around with PHP and CSS, watching YouTube.

Chess

I play chess at the Milton Keynes Chess Club and online at Lichess.

If you're interested here are my English Chess Federation and FIDE pages.

Computer

I currently use a 14" Lafité laptop that I bought from PC Specialist. in the UK.

It's about four years old and I would like to get the 16" model but the price of RAM has made everything too expensive.

The Operating System I use is Arch Linux currently running the Niri window manager

If you are interested the config files are Niri config – Waybar config – Waybar style
