About
I’m Jonathan Rothwell, CompSci student, imported Londoner and general shambles, and rothwell.im is my personal Web site.
I am studying for a BSc in Computer Science at the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS, to its friends) at Queen Mary, University of London.
I’m also a hobbyist writer of fiction, and a regular writer of the drivel posts you see on this site. You’ll also note that I don’t write about myself in the third person.
In a sentence, I’m a humanist, a feminist, a gamer, a realist, and an old-fashioned nerd with a passion for science fiction.
Me, elsewhere
I can be found on:
There’s also a separate @rothwellim Twitter account if you’d prefer to follow that.
Colophon
This web site is generated by Octopress and hosted by NearlyFreeSpeech.NET at prices that are so reasonable, they’re practically indecent. The fonts in use are Bariol and Alegreya.
The section of this site which contains stories is generated by nanoc (see here for a brief post about how it works and how I set it up.)
The site is written using iA Writer and Chocolat on an iPad and a 13” Sandy Bridge MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion.
Notes
The Octopress theme in use is a modified version of the default theme. Posts which are prefixed on the home page, archives and in the RSS feed with a [LINK] prefix are part of the link log (or, if you prefer, the linked list.) These are a collection of links to other web sites, usually accompanied by an un-funny, pithy comment of some description.
There is no automatic commenting system on this web site—this is why.
Contacting me
The best way to contact me is through e-mail: contact me at j at rothwell full stop im (substituting the words for punctuation marks, where necessary, to prove that you’re a human and not a spam harvester.)
I am very unlikely to answer your mail if you ask me to “fix your computer.” Sorry.
Please note that I am not this Jonathan Rothwell: I have never been associated with the Brookings Institute, nor any other policy think tank. I am also nothing to do with this one.
