My name is Herm Baskerville, often nicknamed Hellmutt or just Mutt. I'm an English individual who spends most of des time around computers, enjoys reading and the occasional poem and loves dogs, whether the garden variety or the legendary and supernatural sort.

I work for a major broadcaster as a web assistant, which isn't an editorial role. I follow my employer's very sensible fair usage and social media policies. The views expressed in my blog are my own, not my employer's.

Recurring topics here include animals, Asperger's syndrome, asexuality, atheism, computer- and web-related topics, dogs, dyspraxia, news commentary, red pandas and my writing exploits, many of which take place at Profusion, the writing-roleplay community I run. I also have an Obligatory Unpublished Fantasy Novel as a point of pride, and am in the process of spawning another.

I am incapable of being entirely serious for any significant length of time.
