- I was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

- I’ve had grey hair since I was 20.
- I’ve lived in 3 different cities in the UK and 1 in the US (Atlanta, for 6 months).
- I also love Python, HTML, and CSS. And the Web. Have I already said that?
- I create for people, not algorithms.
- In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports, playing Pokémon and reliving my childhood with old computer games and cartoons on YouTube. I love modernist architecture, Mies van der Rohe, and Roger Federer.

- Free Palestine, give back their land, end the occupation, and ceasefire now!
About the site (aka the colophon)
I’ve had so many versions of this site, I’ve lost count. It originally started life as starcrazy.org back in 2009(?) but eventually, I moved over to lukealexdavis.co.uk in 2010. Since then, it’s taken the form of a blog and a hand-coded personal site with numerous cosmetic changes.
Now, the site is built using Astro and hosted on IONOS (referral link).
The fonts I’m using are Erode Bold for headings and your device’s default system font for body text.
The green used on the site is #285f2b, or rgb(41, 95, 43) if you’d prefer.
My relationship with the Web has influenced how I’ve made and remade this site, from FrontPage Express to Microsoft FrontPage to Dreamweaver to Sublime Text. Other influences include:
Identity and pronouns
I’m cisgender man, pansexual, and my pronouns are he/him/his.
