Hi shop! I'm a #software developer from #Ireland (who is looking to move into #infosec). My pronouns are they/them.
Outside of work I dabble in a bunch of things, #knitting, #embroidery, assorted #fibrearts and #art/#comics/#writing. I love #reading (mostly SF/fantasy) and #videogames too. (I might make one in the near future.)
I'm also a #feminist and might be talking about #socialjustice topics (#repealtheeighth and such)
Oh and I've moved here from witches.town :)
@distel Yeah I've been quiet online in general, lots going on in this real life thing. Hope you're doing well! I'm still listening to your podcast btw :)
@machine_person cool! I made another episode this monday! :)
@mysizepurple I think Nintendo did some knitting-themed Kirby game at some point? But I've never played it, I'd rather actually knit 😀
@machine_person welcome! I'm also a reader and have found the shop to a group of awesome folks, personally. 😀
@Einahpets Thanks for the welcome! What do you read if you don't mind me asking?
@machine_person Sci-fi and Fantasy mostly. I read pretty widely in the genres though (so more than just space opera or epic medieval fantasy, although those can be awesome too). I have a long commute so I've been doing a lot of it on audiobooks recently.
And I have a goal to read everything Stephen King has written, eventually.
@machine_person Right now, I'm listening to Kevin Hearne's excellent first book in a new site called 'A Plague of Giants'. And reading Katherine Arden's 'The Bear and the Nightingale'.
@machine_person *new series. Sorry, not typing well tonight
@Einahpets Ooh, The Bear and the Nightingale is on my list too - are you enjoying it?
@machine_person Hi! It's been a while, nice to see you're back!
