About me
Zak's the name. I like the outdoors - running's my jam - trails and hills are my fav. I can keep a trot all day, more if I'm on a mish. I like to garden too, grow my own food, save a few bob. I do a bit of mountain biking, skiing and paragliding when time, money and nerves permit.
I grew up in Australia, but now reside in the Queenstown Lakes District in New Zealand. Traded the beaches for the mountains. I'm much more at home here. Recently became a NZ citizen and passport holder.
My career has predominantly been in geographic information systems (GIS) and surveying, but I've recently transitioned into business process improvement where we use the Six Sigma methodology to make improvements in the way our organisation does things.I like computery things too. Data vis, web building, coding, systematic trading, PKM, linux, de-googling, FOSS, fediverse, permacomputing. I'm not great at any of them, but they're interesting and I enjoy learning them.
About the site
I'm fairly new to this web building thing. Though I have a couple of other digital homes, this one is a bit of a testing ground while I learn the ropes. At the moment I am using the zola static site generator and the neocities CLI utility to publish to Neocities. I am simultaneously learning about Linux and the command line on my old laptop, so most of this is built from there.
