Take me somewhere
One random door into the whole corpus: a company with a story, an odd tool, a term nobody says out loud, a person who changed the field, a career to explore.
The oldest ancestor here dates from 2004: the bits-and-bytes calculator, rebuilt · the 2004 site itself, navigable · the earlier sites
Work with me
When the problem leaves the browser. Three ways, each with its own page and its own terms.
Decide
Advisory
Executive technical judgement on a technology decision before it is made: scoped work, a written answer you can defend internally, no on-call.
How an engagement worksListen
Speaking
Talks for conferences, company events and team gatherings, on the technology and on the people who work with it.
Talks, formats and bookingWhy trust this
- Local-firstThe catalogue's tools compute in your browser: no upload, no logging, no account. The red room's few live lookups name the service they ask, and send nothing until you press Ask.
- Sourced, with datesTechnical claims cite vendor documentation and standards, each with the date it was read.
- Open sourceThe whole site is a public repository. Read the code behind any result.
- A named authorOne person, thirty years in the field, with a career record you can check.
