Become a sponsor to Marc Ransome

I'm a bit-pusher from a little island called Great Britain 🇬🇧 somewhere in the North Atlantic Ocean. I miss my Amiga 500. If you know anything about me, you know I miss my Amiga 500 (FS-UAE and vAmiga rock). Also the 90s. I've been making small things here on GitHub and other places around the Web for a long while. There are always things to be made, and always people to make them with. What could be better?

Some random tidbits:

  • 🧪 Currently exploring: Rust ❤️ . Also the Small Internet renaissance, particularly the Gemini protocol; limitation has a way of spawning interesting things.
  • 😒 Latest annoyance: It's been far too long since I dabbled with Swift, and probably even longer since I last touched Objective-C, but I feel a disturbance in the force..
  • 💭 Random thought: Pandoc where have you been all my life? Does anyone actually enjoy writing man pages in troff?

☕️ More beans please

Without coffee there is nothing. Or put another way, with coffee there could be something. If the stars should align in just the right way, I could be the one to make that something. Send more beans. Hold the sugar.

You have my heartfelt thanks!

🔌 Electricity isn't cheap!

How far we've come since the voltaic pile.. and talking of clever inventions, I think Tesla might be impressed at what we do with his 'mysterious phenomena' every day. Your support might help me inject some more of that 'wonderful force' into the projects that I'm working on. It's electrifying!

With your permission I'll include your name—and a link to your social media profile if you have one—in a Supporters section of the README.md files for the open-source projects I'm currently working on.

🐒 Monkeys really can fly

Step. Away. From. The. Keyboard. Seriously, what are you thinking? This isn't Oz. But maybe, just maybe, here in the world of bits and bytes, we can make monkeys fly. Together. Who would have thought it? Can you tell I haven't been getting out much lately? Has anyone? 🤧🦠

I'd be happy to make time in the month to chat for a bit—text or voice—particularly if you're technically minded, or remember the 80s. 🎸
