Hi, I’m a partially-sighted computer scientist at Cambridge University in the UK. I come from rural West Dorset on the South-West peninsula of England. I play the flute and I’ve been learning Chinese slowly since about the beginning of the century.
Contact info: I am @ssb22 on Telegram Messenger, and I have an email at cam.ac.uk with the same ID (I’m not writing it in full here in case the spam robots discover an HTTP to Gemini proxy; my Web version has some Javascript “protection” although that seems to be getting less useful these days so I have to improve my spam filters as well)
This Gemini capsule is currently mirrored on both ctrl-c.club and tilde.pink because I was using it to compare the configurations of these servers with respect to language tagging (I have both English and Chinese on my pages), see Issue 23 in the molly-brown server repository. The addresses of this capsule are gemini://gemini.ctrl-c.club/~ssb22/ and gemini://tilde.pink/~ssb22/
Below is a list of my pages. I’ve converted most of these to Gemini, but there are still a few HTTP links in the list, for example because of poetry layouts that I found awkward to convert to Gemini, or Web forms for CGI programs etc—but there might be a couple that could be converted when I get there. Please be assured that the HTTP links (which also support HTTPS if you prefer) do lead to “old-school” lightweight HTML; meanwhile most links below are now Gemini links.
