Note

Me in a nutshell: I run Libre.fm, helping more than 388,000 people keep track of the 370 million+ songs they've listened to since 2009. I work in free/open source software, web standards/accessibility and system administration. Occasional filmmaker and writer on technology topics (DRM, Linux, open source development) My primary hobbies are miniature wargaming, playing retro video games, putting the wrong music over videos and tinkering with old UNIX.
