So lets start with this site!

This 'About Page' is a bit of a Pandora's box for all the stuff which didn't seem to fit anywhere else and for me to acknowledge other peoples work. As always with a project like this you inevitably end up repurposing code. So thanks to all.

Site Technology:

  • Build Framework:  Astro

  • Base Template:  Manuel Ernesto

  • Formatting:

     Tailwind
So Why Bother?

So the primary reason in starting was to continue my profile site. However; and its a big however my original site was rapidly becoming unwieldly, a birds nest knot of repeated and redundant code. On review and relection I did not want to ditch all the work and start again so I investigated modern development frameworks suited to developing a blog. Astro fitted the bill perfctly and I highly recomend it.
About Me - Genetic

About Me - Genetic
INFO

Well I wanted to include a little bit of genetic history, just because its so interesting. Lets start in the very ancient past with how the hell did I get here? Amazing isn't it to think that because here I am it can only be the result of all those who have gone before: from the migrations out of Africa, through the ice ages and the black death and on and on - survivors all.

So briefly my genetic breakdown (May 2023)

  • British and Irish: 83.7%
  • French and German: 12.4%
  • Scandanavian: 1.1%
  • Northwestern European: 2.8%
