I’m Will. For over a decade I’ve worked in technology and tech transformation across charities and social enterprises, healthcare, and in education. Welcome to my site. I mainly use this as a place to write out my (mostly tech-based) thoughts. I'm a firm believer that technology should be easier to understand for everyone, and this little corner of the internet is my way of trying to do that.

It's been a while since I've messed around with my website. While Jekyll has served me very well, and until recently I had a workflow that worked very well for me. But then I went and messed around with my Obsidian Vault (yes, since the...
I read two blog posts this morning almost back to back that got the exact opposite reaction from me. The more I thought about it, the more I needed to reconcile that. So, here's me trying to do that in pretty much real time... First,...

This post is inspired by JP, who speaks about how Google has become an insessant nagging AI-pusher. The more and more we let “AI” in, the more liberties it seems to take. For me, this is crystalised perfectly by one thing. If you use...

I have a little 9 month old, and every day we read to him. Some days, I'll read a bilingual books be him - I'll read English/French ones, and his mum reads him English/Bengali ones. I hadn't even considered it, but it seems that when...

There’s something I’ve been trying to grapple with for a while. It’s become more insistent with the rise of AI, but it actually predates that. And for me, it crystallised with the new openSUSE Terms of Site. For those unfamiliar,...
EDIT: Just updating this to include the link to the original post from Nik at Teckids, which prompted this thought. There's something I've been trying to grapple with for a while. It's become more insistent with the rise of AI, but it...
I chop and change my website almost more than I actually write on it. For giggles, I thought I’d share what my current website setup and posting workflow is. This site uses Jekyll. I love it because I do almost all of my writing in...
