Hi, I’m Wes (he/him) I’m a software developer originally from Melbourne, Australia. I now live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. I like open-source software and warm weather. I enjoy tinkering with computers, ranging from small microcontrollers up to large servers and the operating systems that run upon them. I like to take photos around my home and places I visit. The better ones end up on Flickr.
Arch Linux is my primary desktop operating system, with the COSMIC desktop. However, I have migrated to Chimera Linux on my laptop and plan to eventually do the same on my desktop. I detailed my desktop computing stack in more detail in the post Tech Stack 2024.
The server hosting this website runs Alpine Linux and is hosted by Vultr(affiliate link). I’ve written more about my personal server infrastructure in Rebuilding My Personal Infrastructure With Alpine Linux and Docker.
This site is built with the Zola static site compiler and the source
code is published on GitHub. I have some other websites as well: you can
read more about my operating system adventures on bitcannon.net. I maintain a
custom-built link blog at linkedlist.org. Finally I
have a retro themed website hosted at home on a LattePanda single board
computer. It’s a lot of fun to work on and is an ode to late 90s and early
2000s websites and the computers we used to make
them:

I prefer typing on mechanical keyboards. I have a small collection in a range
of sizes. Almost all are fully programmable. My current favourite is a WK870
with Gateron G Pro 2.0 brown switches, which has had the factory controller
replaced with a programmable one.
Rust is my preferred programming language. I am fairly active in the Rust community and used to curate Read Rust, a website that collects interesting posts about Rust.
