#introduction - I'm Ric, I'm a newcomer to Mastodon so still orienting myself.
I'm based in #Manchester, UK, I'm a single parent, I like #gigs and live music, #photography, I'm a #geek who dabbles in stuff like 3D printing. I also like the occasional #trackday. Politics are #socialist.
I'm weaning myself off a Twitter addiction and trying very hard not to recreate the Twitter doomscroll over here!
Work is for MSFT in Azure and I've been working remotely for 12 years.

We didn't do an introduction, so here it is.
A combined think tank and activist group.
We've been working for 10 years, exploring and promoting the possibilities of a non-growth-based economy and society, with particular focus (but not exclusive) on the Greater Manchester city region / upper Mersey bioregion.
See https://steadystatemanchester.net for our work, including book and pamphlets.

Think it’s time to update my #introduction post.

Hi!

I’m a #strategy #architect by trade, focusing mostly on #iam and #zerotrust - albeit a long history in #infrastructure architecture. Cut my teeth as it were during the virtualisation revolution (I feel older than that 😂)

Prior to that, I did desktop builds using Norton ghost and then #sccm.

I live in #manchester, #uk and started #Yobah - a boutique #consultancy working on strategy transformation.

Feel free to reach out and say hi!

I moved to my own instance so another #introduction is in order

Based in the UK (near #Manchester 🐝), educated in #Aberystwyth #Wales, I'm a #software #engineer hacking on #distributed #systems and #databases in #golang since ~2015

I enjoy #photography (#digital and #film) 📸, #diy (mostly house #rennovation) 🛠️, #greenenergy, #3dprinting 🖨️, #drone flying, #gaming 🎮, #f1, #flightsim, #simracing, oxford commas, and tinkering since my childhood starting with the #amiga 500

Interested in extending my presenece on the #fediverse in many more ways than just #microblogging, hence the fedi subdomain - I plan on using that for some more things in future.

Does anyone in the north-west of England know any certified #Brompton electric servicing bike shops?

I live on the Isle of Man, Bromptons are fairly rare here and I'd like a certified service done on it some point this year.

#Liverpool and #Manchester would be the best but happy to go elsewhere. It's just hard to find one online not in London which isn't the end of the world.
