About me
I'm J-P Stacey, and I'm a freelance technical developer and software architect, working with Drupal, Javascript, Symfony, PHP and devops, with experience in project and process management and an emphasis on usability.
I live in the UK; my website is self-hosted on bigv.io; my email is hosted by Google, and that's also what I use to share files. (More info|What is this?)
The lawn is currently more of
The lawn is currently more of a project for the sake of it, than anything else: it's been good to learn tricks like the edging. If we'd have really wanted a pristine lawn we'd have just re-turfed it.
We did use it a lot back in 2013, but less so since we moved the bench somewhere with more shade and space to lounge in this year. Also since, yeah, I started dicking around with it this year, narrowing the window of time during which it was possible to lie on the grass (clover, really!)
