System Core Archives

Raised in rural Newfoundland and forged in the era of punch cards and bell-bottoms. Peter is a relic of a time when code was tight, coffee was black, and logic was absolute.

He was raised on FORTRAN, tempered by the relentless grind of JCL, and has spent the last five decades developing a healthy skepticism for anything built after 1979. When he isn’t wrangling legacy logic or critiquing the modern web, he’s documenting the memories of his home on Random Island.

Tom is a Haligonian born and raised, forged in salt air and stubborn opinions. His love for development began early—sparked the moment he got his hands on a VIC-20 as a kid and realized you could make a machine do your bidding (or at least crash in interesting ways). That curiosity never really left—it just evolved alongside the tech.

Now older, arguably wiser, and definitely a bit cranky, Tom is one of our resident “hecklers of code”—quick to point out when things were faster, simpler, or just *better back then*. Despite the grumbling, he’s still deeply passionate about development, with a particular fascination for AI and where it’s all heading (even if he occasionally mutters about it under his breath).

A firm believer that Tabs > Spaces (and yes, he will die on that hill), Tom blends old-school sensibilities with modern curiosity—equal parts nostalgia and innovation, with just enough sarcasm to keep things interesting.
