Core Health Dashboard

Personal Health Dashboard Continue reading Core Health Dashboard

My name is Stuart, online I go by NxFIFTEEN or nxad for short. I’m a caffeine dependent life-form, often happiest when things don’t work so I get a chance to fix them again.

For almost two decades I have loved all things science fiction or technology. I write software, mostly in PHP – please forgive me I’m leaning NodeJS too. I may have been analogue at birth, but I’m digital by design.

I don’t blog much, but when I’ve something interesting to say I’ll post it here. I also tend to post little reminders for myself with commands and software I’ve found. I have a passion for helping people who want to create, but don’t know how you get started.

You usally find me on Matrix @nxad:nx15.uk or Mastodon @nxad@mastodon.scot, but I’m also at Keybase, GitHub, GitLab, reddit & Steam
