I'm a 30-something-year-old [bike-riding][bikes], [gun-toting][guns],
[metal-turning][metal], [computer-hacking][computers],
[sax-whaling][music] guy from Adelaide, South Australia.

I don't partake in the social media racket.  If you think you need to
contact me, then you're probably mistaken.  If you can't be persuaded
otherwise, you can find my email address and other contact details
below.

### Webshit

The HTML for this site is generated from [Markdown][md] using
[rc(1)][rc] and [mk(1)][mk].  For each HTML file you can view the
[corresponding source](about.md) by replacing the <tt>html</tt>
extension in the URI with an <tt>md</tt> extension.  Generation of
HTML from Markdown is automated by a [mkfile](/mkfile) and some [rc
scripts](/lib/).  All of this is served up by [rc-httpd(8)][rchttpd]
on a [vultr][vultr] VPS running the [9front][9front] operating system.

An image gallery is available at <http://phalanx.home.musolino.id.au:8080/>.

### Contact

You can contact me at <alex@musolino.id.au> or find me (as
<tt>deuteron</tt>) in <tt>#cat-v</tt> on the [OFTC][oftc] IRC network.
As of 2024 I am playing with ActivityPub on a snac2 instance at
[@alex@hj.9fs.net](https://hj.9fs.net/alex).

I have a [face.1](/face.1), if you want to see my ugly [mug(1)][mug]
in your [faces(1)][faces] when you receive mail from me.
