👋 G'day, I'm Mike Lockhart

Computer generalist, percussionist, humanist, and dad. Sometimes also a computer-percussionist. I make computers work for people, and I'm lucky enough to do it for my day job. I like to help all kinds of people with technology stuff.

I enjoy coding, though I wouldn't call myself a hacker or even a great programmer, more a tool-smith for my work and hobbies. I appreciate the craft in coding and love to look over and admire other people's code.

  • 📇 My online business card is https://about.me/mikelockhart
  • 🐘 Mastodon AU, Hachyderm.io
  • 💻 Public SSH keys on GitLab.com
  • 🔐 Public PGP key 3CCA2E6EBCBE8795
  • 🐙 I also have a GitHub account

Do get in touch with me for meet-ups online and around Hobart (my timezone: UTC+10).


This user account is for non-work projects and contributions.

Most of the things here are the usual: blog and other web site projects, hacks to learn technologies, dotfiles, shell scripts and so on. I try to keep my work projects separate, though a lot of what I do for money is also Open Source these days. You'll find mostly incomplete work, but I do try to keep very good engineering notes, it's my most closely held Rule of computing: Rule 4: If you're exploring, keep a notebook or journal. GitLab is the ideal software engineer's lab book.
