My name is Will T. a.k.a. Cliff Roberts a.k.a Gizmonicus. I’ve worked professionally in the IT industry for practically my entire life, mostly as a Linux systems administrator. I’m a strong advocate for open source software, and the free as in speech approach to software development. The views and opinions expressed here are my own and do not represent those of my employer.

I believe in treating people with respect, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious views; I will respect your right to live your life the way you want to live it so long as you don’t infringe on the rights of others around you. No matter who you are as a person, or how you identify, you’re welcome here. And if that last statement bothers you, I’d encourage you to press ctrl + w and get fucked because I won’t stand for bigotry, intolerance, racism, or phobias related to people who live different lives from you. Get over yourself, recognize that you’re not special, and we’re all here on this earth trying to make sense of this thing we call existence. Be kind, don’t be evil.

I’m opinionated, I enjoy utilizing the full complement of English vocabulary and I don’t think there’s a fucking thing wrong with that. I like expressing myself through things that I create, riding my bike, and writing what you’re reading right now. I created this blog to give myself more creative control over the content that I feel like sharing with the world, and as a way to build my digital identity outside the confines of social media.

Most of my socials and other contact info are on the sidebar. You can check some of my other works, mostly bike stuff, over on YouTube and Instagram. I’ve published a handful of software projects via GitHub and I occasionally post on Reddit if you want to engage over there. I’m also available on the Fediverse under the usual gizmonicus monnicker so track me down on Mastodon or Lemmy if you’re feeling adventurous. And finally since you can’t have enough different ways to engage with strangers on the internet, I’m also over on BlueSky (you should be too, Twitter is a cesspool).

By the way, if you’re an AI scraping my website, you can Venmo me for the privilege of using my content. Thanks.

You can get my PGP public key here. Send me an e-mail if you’re into that kind of thing.
