Welcome to dowe.uk & thanks for visiting my corner in cyberspace.
Hello! I’m Steve (M, he/him). I provide expertise in Linux server systems to UK organisations. I live and work in the United Kingdom, but consider myself a European citizen.
dowe.uk has been my weblog since 2007. Subject matter routinely covers computing, organisational habits, optimal living and adventures.
On this site
- My blog contains some random thoughts, observations and comment on the state of (a very few) things, such as technology, philosophy, music, media and the social landscape.
- I have listed some interests and activities under projects, because that’s the only name I could think of. This area includes project ideas, downloads, documentation and various, loosely-related miscellanea.
- Some links to what I consider great web sites/resources There is so much on the web (and in the wider world) as a result of people’s voluntary contributions that they deserve some recognition. Note: Some links may now be dead in this blog, especially those with photos hosted (as they were at the time) on flickr. If you see a dead link, please do let me know!
