Desmond's Corner of the Web

Hello! You've reached the personal website of Desmond Rivet, a software developer living in Montreal, Canada.

You can find out more about me elsewhere on this site, see what I'm up to now, and peruse some information about the site itself if that sort of thing interests you.

The Garden and the Stream

My web presence is split between my blog, i.e. this site, where I post random thoughts on a semi-regular basis, and my digital garden, where I maintain a kind of personal wiki of random, interconnected notes on various topics that interest me. I wrote an article on the differences between these two kinds of websites if you want to learn more about it.

On This Site

There's actually a fair bit of content here:

• In addition to the fire hose of all my posts, I also separately publish a subset of them in my lifestream, hopefully providing a calmer, more curated experience.
• A collection of curated photo albums
• Various selected pages from my old sites

This site also used to house my recipe collection after I stopped maintaining my wiki. As my wiki has since found new life, of a sort, in my digital garden, I've decided to move my recipes there. We'll see how long that lasts.

Contact

Email is probably the best way to contact me.

I consider this website to be my main online platform, but you can find me elswhere on the web as well:
