Hello world!
A photo of Nyhavn, København I took in 2017. Site background is a photo I took of the Peak District in the UK CC:By-SA
This website is a personal website for me, Ryan Cartwright (also known as Crimperman). Like me, it has been been around on the web since the mid-1990s. You can see some of the previous incarnations at the bottom of this page.
So, within these walls, you will find:
Stuff I build
I make stuff. I like to upcycle, I like woodwork and some DIY. I also enjoy tech projects. You’ll find all these here.
Stuff I create
I write, draw, paint etc. You’ll find that here, including my self-published children’s fiction.

History
Below is what this site has looked like since I first put it up in 1996. It has, at times, been:
- a blog
- a software resource
- a place to put stuff I create
It’s never really been anything other big to be honest and I’m happy with that. It has been and remains a place for me to say “I am here!”. You can see that the sheep mascot appeared around the turn of the century and he’s still here. His name is Stew.
