I program #SpringBoot web services and have now managed to avoid managing people. I used to program dev tools & before that, program mobile phones.

Once ran the same early Windows 8 build instance on both a hypervisor and native boot.

Old enough to remember #Symbian #C++.

I really like painting miniature figures like those produced for #warhammer, but am not so keen on #GamesWorkshop.

#OnePageRules is my current #TableTop #Wargaming jam.

Involved in some kind of computer bullshit.

The Dragon calls, but there isn’t an answer… I am Noven, a dragon that hails from Australia who is a digital artist and character designer who is disabled, AuDHD and the host of The Dragon Soulbond/Gateway System and I coined the term ‘otherling’! I mostly post my art and hornyposts here but I do other things too like commission artists, share posts of my favourite characters (especially it I self ship with them!) and ramble about my special interests. I’m always down for making friends so if you see any shared interests on my profile feel free to message me!

As always of course, antis, anti endos and minors DNI, this place is not for you!
