About me

peter_ries.jpg

I am techy, a reader and a constant learner.

I have been married for over 30 years and live with my wife, two great kids, two dogs, a cat, three parakeets and one gecko.

I love to hack at software, develop games in JS for fun, I post to my Blog whenever an idea strikes and I love the first 10 seasons of The Simpsons TV show. I also like Colorado craft beers, travelling, punk rock and jazz. Right now, I am playing Day of Defeat: Source and I need suggestions for my next long play game (Xbox or Steam).

    Privacy

    Just a note here to say that I still believe in privacy and so this site does nothing to track you. I don’t know how many people visit or subscribe to the RSS feed and I know nothing else about any of you, unless you choose to reach out to me. I am not selling anything from here and you are not losing anything by visiting this site. And that’s how it should be.

    And, by the way, because of the above, I don’t have a proper comments feature here. If you do choose to send me a message via my host, I will receive an email and then I usually try to update the same blog post or whatever with a response to your message, so please check back about a day or two later to see that. Cheers!
