Welcome

I'm Colin Morris, this site contains little web-widgets I've built over the years along with documenting some of my explorations into the steampunk genre. I code in PHP, (native)Javascript, and Golang, and I lean Steampulp over Steampunk.

Code savvy?

You can see my fun PHP widgets on my Code page and code I'm trying to share/ get confident in at my Git hub repositories. I lead the Developer Community of Practice at work (though I'm not a developer there, but I'm keen on developer advocacy), and I'm also participating as much as I can in the IndieWeb, an excellent initiative for owning your own content.

Steampunkish?

I describe Steampulp as more adventury, less reality-prone, and fond of kinetic maintenance. I'm a middling tinkerer, and a member of R.O.S.E.A., S.T.E.A.M and the Steampunk Ghostbusters.

Other things I've done.

I've written a tongue-in-cheek book called "Code of the Coder", which gives those who call themselves Code Ninja or CSS Samurai a list of disciplines and virtues from Togakure-ryū Ninjutsu and Bushido Samurai. I also have a role in a steampunk story podcast called "Copperheart", it's written by author Michael J Rigg.

You can find me elsewhere on Codeberg, Github, Mastodon, Bluesky, Twitter/X, Libre.FM, and you can subscribe to my blog feed.
