Neil Bullock<p>I've been meaning to write an <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> post since joining a week ago, so here goes...</p><p>Hi, I'm Neil. I live in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Oxfordshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oxfordshire</span></a> in the UK, and I've been into technology since about 1996 when I first learned how to program. Back then, I was using <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AMOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AMOS</span></a> on the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amiga</span></a>.</p><p>I moved to Windows next where I developed a fascination with IT management. I worked in education for a while, managing a network of 350 computers and 1300 users, dozens of printers, etc. I wrote software to make it all easier, and it was fantastic, and I loved that job.</p><p>Gradually, I moved into programming professionally, ruining it as a hobby. 🙄 By this point (2011), I was using C#, ASP.NET and all that jazz. Since I didn't want to program in my spare time any more, I dabbled in music (grade 4 piano), and I write indie books.</p><p>As technology gradually <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/enshittified" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>enshittified</span></a>, I started getting into Linux finally, and that brings us to the present day. I'm still writing in C# and ASP.NET, but also C and a few other languages. I'm rediscovering my love of "IT" again.</p><p>Also, I have two <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dogs</span></a>.</p>

Old walkerA former mill built in 1872 that once manufactured fine tweed made from the wool of local sheep. At the outset of the 1914-1918 great war, it got a contract to make army uniforms, which broke an earlier labour strike at the mill, due to the men needing to go off to war and the women needing to earn cash. It closed down in 1980 when it became a listed Grade II building. By 1988 it was converted into residential apartments. It looks unusual for a factory because the owner asked for it to look like a country house (hence the pedimented towers at the four corners), and the tall chimney stack above a dome allowed the smoke from the furnace (which created the steam that powered the looms) to escape. Now it stands silent and elegant in the landscape and hosts the peaceful home lives of many. Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, England.
