About chilli.sh
Hi there! I’m James—though most folks know me as chilli online. I’m a UK-based tech enthusiast, privacy advocate, and cat dad to two mischievous furballs, Gary and Mabel.
By day, I wrangle integrations and business change in a Windows-dominated IT team. By night? That’s when the real fun begins. I tend to dive into:
- Linux (Fedora is my daily driver, with a soft spot for tinkering on my home server)
- Genealogy (uncovering family stories and historical rabbit holes)
- Languages (learning, breaking, and occasionally speaking them)
- Online privacy (because the internet should respect boundaries)
- Cool tech (startups, open-source projects, and anything that makes me go “How does that even work?!”)
This blog is my digital scratchpad—a place to document discoveries, rant about tech quirks, and share things that make me geek out. If any of that resonates with you, welcome! Let’s nerd out together.
(P.S. The cats occasionally “contribute” by walking across my keyboard. Their bylines are pending.)
