My Tech Tales: An Introduction
I'm Thomas Lloyd-Jones, a tech enthusiast, a problem solver, a pet parent, and now, a blogger. Born and raised in Leicester, UK, I relocated to New York State in 2009, bringing my passion for all things tech with me. It's this passion that's led me to start this blog, a platform where I can share my tech knowledge, interesting finds, and unique experiences with you all.
Professionally, I work for NYS ITS as an intern, where I do Drupal development, but my interests extend far beyond that. From programming to gaming, from running a home lab to playing with my two dogs, Sky and Midnight, and my cat, Luna, I have a wide array of hobbies that keep me busy, inspired, and constantly learning.
The path that led me to tech wasn't always straightforward. My journey began in an entirely different field - as a hairdresser. But, with a thirst for knowledge and a nudge from my supportive partner, I returned to university at 24 to study what I truly loved: technology. That period of transition fuels my unique perspective on tech and life - that it's never too late to chase what makes you tick.
Through this blog, I want to document my thoughts, share my adventures in tech, and hopefully inspire and teach you along the way. From programming tidbits to home lab setup, from reviewing my favorite gear to sharing my experience with various tools across multiple platforms, there's a lot we'll unpack here.
Speaking of gear, I take pride in my carefully chosen tech arsenal. From my Tofu 65% keyboard with a DZ65 RGB V3 PCB and Cherry MX Silent Red switches to my MSI 32" 1440p 144Hz monitor, I believe the right tools make all the difference. On the software front, I rely on a plethora of applications like Synergy, Docker Desktop, JetBrains, and more, across different platforms to enhance productivity and streamline my work.
This blog aims to be a melting pot of all these experiences and knowledge. Whether you're a tech novice or an expert developer, my hope is that you'll find something useful and interesting here. We'll delve deep into Python, Java, PHP, TypeScript, and more. We'll explore containerization with Docker, project management with Spaces, version control with GitHub, and virtualization with Proxmox. We'll even dip our toes into cross-platform apps and tools for Mac, Linux and Windows.
So, join me as we embark on this tech odyssey together. Your thoughts, feedback, and ideas are always welcome.
Stay tuned for more!
