What now?

Who does this guy think he is?

Hello there! I'm Ian Rathbone, a developer from Ringwood with a habit of tinkering with things that don't need tinkering with...

The Rathblog?

That's right. I took the first part of my surname and combined it with the word 'blog'.

It's personalisation, it's a pun, it is good.

Why are you doing this?

The Rathblog is where I write about whatever's on my mind.

That tends to be tech (home servers, self-hosting, Azure, software), but I make absolutely no promises about staying on topic.

Expect the occasional detour into hobbies, random opinions, and things I found interesting enough to actually sit down and write about.

No newsletter agenda, no content calendar, no niche. Just another chap mumbling on the internet.

If you want to get in touch, find me on BlueSky.
