Or, who I am and what you can find here

Hi! Firstly, thanks for visiting my little corner of the Indieweb.

My name is Jackie, though I’m also often referred to as Jac or Jacs. In the early days of the web (mid 90’s to early 00’s) I went by the nickname Zenith. I still sometimes use that name, mostly for gaming related things, and often with 25 appended to the end.

I’m a 51 year old woman who, due to various health reasons, is no longer in gainful employment. Instead I spend my time looking after the home (pretty badly), being an avid fan of music (especially independent), sometimes doing a spot of photography, and tinkering with things like this website. I actually have many more interests (I have ADHD, if you know, you know!) but I presume you don’t want to spend all year reading this so I’ll leave it at that!

This is my little collection of things hosted at micro.blog. I’m still settling in so there’s not much here yet, but you can probably expect fairly random posts about things I find interesting or feel motivated to write about.

I first began blogging I think around 2001. WordPress had newly launched just a few months before and was my platform of choice back then. I even had Matt Mullenweg comment on my blog a few times (this was way before Automattic and the hosted version of WordPress were launched).

Unfortunately when social media came about, like many others I stopped updating my blogs and eventually took them down. Now I’ve come full circle. Having largely fell out of love with social media a long time ago, lately I’ve realised how much fun I used to have doing my own thing in my own little space. So here I am.
