The things that will end up in the right-hand column

So, right. This is all the stuff that will probably ultimately reside in some sort of list over to the right, telling you roughly about me - who I am, what I do, the like.

Of course, where this falls down immediately is that there is every chance that you already know, at least at this point, because why would you be here if you didn't know who I was? I suspect it's going to be quite a job getting my nearest and dearest over here, blogs being a touch last century. Nonetheless.

My name is Daniel Nye Griffiths - the "Nye" primarily because there are an awful lot of Daniel Griffithses out there, my parents selfishly not having anticipated Google. It's the Welsh equivalent of John Smith, really, isn't it?

I've been blogging and buzzing around bits of the UK tech community for about a decade, in various different ways. I've been doing some freelance writing work, and since a couple of things I have written should be appearing in WIRED UK issue 3, when it comes out at some point this week, this seemed a good time to stick something up on the web space that I have been failing to do anything with thus far, rather than continuing to try to cleanse my former blog of links to Transformers fanfiction.

If the Blogger-Marsedit combo smacks of rush, that's very much because it is; doing something a little shinier is certainly on the to do list, but there are an awful lot of things on the to do list, so we'll see how that goes.

So, hello, whether you already know me or you have arrived here randomly. There will no doubt be a lot of procrastination. Things that are rejected soundly by every paying outlet will go here, as may longer remixes of things I would like to devote a bit more space to. Realistically, the Twitter feed over on the right there will get a lot more action than the blog, but who knows? Maybe there's a long-form resurgence right around the corner.
