Hi! I'm Ash Wolf (or Ninji), a 29-year-old software developer from Gibraltar and
living in Glasgow, Scotland. I like reverse-engineering, old technology, graphic
design, awful jokes, public transport, cities, travel and combinations of some
of those things.

I recently graduated from Computer Science at the University of Strathclyde. I
used to moonlight as lead programmer for the MMO Furcadia, and I've made/worked
on a lot of other silly things. I now do back-end engineering for a bigger
MMORPG that you've almost certainly played at least once.

Find me on the Fediverse for inane slice-of-life content and random photos from
around Glasgow, at @Ninji@wuffs.org - you can follow me from your favourite
Mastodon™-compatible software. I'm also on Bluesky: @snoot.zone

Like my stuff? Feel free to send me a pound or two: PayPal.me | Ko-fi | Monzo

 * Dec 8, 2023 Free Software that you can't customise is not truly Free Software
   
   One of the most widely touted advantages of FOSS (free and open-source
   software) is that you have the freedom to modify and customise it to your
   needs… theoretically. How well does this work in practice? I’m convinced that
   most FOSS actually does a pretty poor job at satisfying this goal - often
   worse than well-known proprietary software!

 * Sep 17, 2023 Splash Golf Revival, Part 3: The Final Splash
   
   Wherein I finally make the multiplayer mode in SEGA SPLASH! GOLF playable
   (more or less), and release the source code to my custom server.

 * Sep 4, 2023 Reviving Sega's forgotten golf MMO after 14 years
   
   Wherein I recover enough of SEGA SPLASH! GOLF to make the single-player
   Practice Mode work, enable the shops and character customisation, and even
   fix a couple of bugs along the way.

 * Sep 1, 2023 They Made A Golf MMO With Sonic In it (Real!) (Not Clickbait!)
   (Only A Bit)
   
   I got nerdsniped into reviving SEGA SPLASH! GOLF, a long-forgotten MMO that
   you've probably never heard of - I certainly hadn't.

 * Apr 21, 2023 Joining the NixOS Pyramid Scheme
   
   I was encouraged to try running NixOS on my server (the one that hosts this
   website!), and I decided to give it a shot. But... how do I move 7+ years
   worth of services from Arch to one of the weirdest Linux distros out there,
   with no prior experience?
