Posting this to #introductions so I can pin it! 👋
Hi everyone, I’m John. I’m a DevOps Engineer and Time Enthusiast. I was an indie game designer in the 90’s and a pixel artist in the Atari demoscene.
I’m particularly interested in the overlap of technology and design. I mainly post about #technology #ux #videogames or anything related to #time and #calendar systems.
Interests include: Game Design, Web Development, DataViz, Long Now, Big History, Temporal and Astronomical Systems.
Really looking forward to #EMFCamp this weekend. The schedule is looking really good! If you're around on Friday, I'll be speaking about Time Zones and Daylight Saving Time, at 11am on Stage A.
Yay, my #emfcamp talk has a slot. No pressure then.

Putting some slides together for a talk about Time Zones. It struck me that not many people know there are actually two observatories in London. The RGO in Greenwich and the Kings Observatory in Kew. https://www.kingsobservatory.co.uk/

A good primer on the Leap Second debate. https://www.orolia.com/place-and-time-episode-3-the-leap-second-on-trial/
An incredibly detailed and interactive article on how mechanical watches work.
Okay, it looks like we're doing this! I'll be at #EMFCamp in June speaking about Time Zones and Daylight Saving Time. Anyone else going? https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2022
