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
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.
