      About Smiggy

      Martin “Smiggy” Smith is a web developer, electronics engineer and incurable retro-tech magpie based in Rainhill, Merseyside — the L35 postcode, just east of Liverpool.

      By day he builds and runs a small portfolio of independent web products. By evening he fixes old computers, watches old horror films and writes honest notes about both. Smiggy.uk is the journal — the public-facing notebook where the everyday things get filed.

      If you’d like the polished CV, head to smiggy.org. If you’d like the workshop, head to smiggy.com. If you’d like to see what he’s up to today, you’re already in the right place.

      House rules

      1. Fix it before binning it.
      2. Walk it before driving it.
      3. Read the manual.
      4. A proper brew solves most problems.
      5. Be kind on the internet.
