# Update 2025-01-22 This is the intended new home for my old Wordpress site: https://tech.tonyballantyne.com. It's easier for me to maintain, and should be easier for users to navigate. # Welcome This blog’s tagline is adapted from the Emacs Org-Mode motto. It seemed appropriate, as I seem to have spent most of my life writing novels and short stories (of which you can find out more at [tonyballantyne.com](https://tonyballantyne.com/)) or teaching computer coding. I’ve amassed a lot of material over the years, and I wanted to share it with people who may not have had the same access to education as people living in my country are lucky enough to have. If you want to change the world, become a teacher. No Charge, No Adverts – however be aware that as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
