mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06I do fundamental research on 2D graphics, UI programming, and fonts, and am active in the Rust community. Principal Software Engineer at Canva. 🌈
I have arrived in Sydney, the beginning of a new adventure. I'll be onboarding at Canva at the beginning of next week, and for the time being taking care of logistics like getting a bank account.
The last few weeks have been taken up with clearing out my apartment and other moving things. Glad to have that done.
Does anyone in the Bay Area want some historical computer books? Includes K&R, Wirth's book on Pascal, HOPL 1, PostScript, IBM 1401, some computer music stuff, some logic. Pick up in Berkeley. Otherwise it gets dumped.

@aw@merveilles.town My flight is Monday but I can arrange to have you pick them up at my sons' apartment. About a 10 minute walk from North Berkeley BART.
