About this site

I’m Darren, an electrician based in Colchester. This site is where I park short write-ups from real jobs – the sort of thing I’d post on social media, but in a place I actually control.

Why bother with a blog?

Most “best electrician in Colchester” pages are just SEO fluff. I wanted something different – quick notes on real work: what I found, what I fixed, and the odd lesson learned.

If you’re a customer, this gives you a feel for how I think and work. If you’re a tech person or engineer, it shows how electrical work and proper infrastructure thinking can line up.

How this links to Gray Logic

  • Gray Logic Electrical is my actual business: pricing, booking, certificates: graylogic.uk.
  • This site is the notebook – stories, faults, case studies, and on-the-job observations.
  • For a simple “hire me” view, there’s also colchester.electrician.onl.

Nerd corner

Outside of the day job, I also build and run my own infrastructure stack: Odoo ERP for Gray Logic, a secure home lab, and a growing pile of PowerShell and Linux tooling.

Longer-term, this site will likely grow a small toolchain to syndicate new posts out to social media automatically – but for now it’s deliberately simple HTML, CSS and a git push.
