There's not much else to say... welcome to Bit Goblin!

If you're here then you likely don't need a real introduction since you're probably coming from YouTube or some other platform that you've met me on. But either way, in case you don't already know me, I'm a fun-loving, tech nerd that loves playing with anything relating to computers. Whether it's networking, system administration, database administration, building PCs, software development... the list goes on, but I love it all. To me, it's really fun building things and making things do what I want them to, whether it's to make my life a little bit easier, self-host some services to better safeguard my data, or just for fun. (...it's mostly for fun!)

The content I post is mostly centered around me just documenting what I'm doing for my own future reference if I ever run into the same problems, and hopefully it helps you out as well or at least gets your gears turning and motivates you to go out and play with tech in your own way.

The primary content that I publish is over on YouTube on my [Bit Goblin channel]({{ site.links.bitgoblin_channel }}), and I also semi-regularly post videos on Old School RuneScape over on [Ascendings]({{ site.links.ascendings_channel }}). If you prefer watching live content more, then you can head on over to [my Twitch channel]({{ site.links.twitch_channel }}) - I'm not nearly as active over there but I do hop occasionally to interact with you all and have a good time playing games (mostly Old School RuneScape... it's my favorite game, stop judging me).

I'm also huge into building an inclusive, supportive community for great people to chat, chill and help each other out. In this vein I've spun up a [Discord server]({{ site.links.discord_invite }}) for you all to go hang out in and chat, and I'm currently in the process of spinning up a Minecraft server for you all to play on and a forum for a more laid back, old school-style way to talk to one another and get help. I'm open to spinning up more services for the community, so be sure to let me know if there's anything you want!
