This is where I [[writing|write]] words about what I'm working on, and post [[photographs]] of things I've seen. I'm a [[Programming|Software Engineer]] at the [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]], and so of course my personal website is a [[wikis|wiki]] (running on [[MediaWiki]]). In my spare time I volunteer with [[WikiClubWest]] to work on Wikimedia projects, mostly around my family's [[genealogy]] and local Western Australian history (especially to do with [[Fremantle]]). I try to keep up with issues on all the [[things I maintain]] (but usually fail), as well as listing the software that I [[uses|use]]. I try to find time to work in my workshop on various [[woodworking]] projects. Recently, that's been focused on [[Chest of drawers restoration|restoring a chest of drawers]] and building a [[metalworking bench]]. [[Travel]] features in my life, not because I really hugely ''want'' to go elsewhere but because I just do — and also because then I can do some interesting [[mapping]] on OpenStreetMap. Sometimes I ride my [[cycling|bike]] to get there, or [[walking|walk]]. I'm currently [[reading]] the following books: {{#cargo_query: tables=books |fields=concat( '[[', _pageName, ']] (', IFNULL(author, 'Anon'), if ( first_published, concat(', ',first_published),''), ')' ) |format=list |where=currently_reading=true |outro=. |delimiter=, and }} To contact me, you can [mailto:sam@samwilson.id.au email me], find me on [https://matrix.to/#/@samwilson:matrix.org Matrix as '@samwilson:matrix.org'], or the fediverse as [https://wikis.world/@samwilson @samwilson@wikis.world]. If you want to leave a comment on this site (by [[Special:CreateAccount|creating an account]]), you need to know the secret code <code>Tuart</code> (it's not ''very'' secret, but seems to be confusing enough for most spammers).
