Working on

Building this site, which is either ironic or appropriate. Remembering the joy of PCB layouts and initial board bringup and a flashing red LED. Day job: CTO and co-founder at LibertiTec, building privacy infrastructure for organisations with a duty of care to the people whose data they collect.

Reading

Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams — insider account of Facebook that Meta tried hard to bury, which is reason enough. When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words and Wounds of Palestine by Francesca Albanese — necessary and devastating. Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee — finally. Bleak and beautifully spare.

Listening to

"Evolver" by Chris Liebing. "Mezzanine" by Massive Attack. Beatport Top 100 — Today. The AI Daily Brief podcast.

Where

Liverpool — back from Barcelona for Tech for Palestine and the Global Sumud Flotilla. May: Paris for a consulting gig. June: Brussels for the T4P conference, then Berlin for Massive Attack at the Zitadelle.

On my mind

Hermes-Agent seems to have won the personal agents battle. Building an AI based secure SDLC on a shoestring. Exploring Obsidian as my personal knowledge store.
