Hello, My name is Joe!
Things I make.

I've written my annual introduction post for 2025: joereddington.com/2025/01/01/h...

Happy Birthday Alan Turing

Happy Birthday Alan Turing
The thing is, I don’t remember any of this - there was a day when nobody thought it was an option, then a literal day when it might happen, then it was irreversibly happening. There wasn’t a persuasion phase.
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Me, about to do a simple Arduino project: “I spent eight years in C++, four of them squeezing every gram of performance out of it, this will be simple”
Me, an hour later: “what is this unwieldy bastard language?” _throws header file across the room_

Greta Thunberg and the Madleen offered a heart in a heartless world.
They reminded us that Israel is deliberately starving an entire people - and the West could stop that at any moment.
