Welcome to atomicrain.net — my little corner of the internet, I've carefully crafted it between coffee breaks and questionable life choices...

I’m Rich, a long‑term Manchester resident. I wasn't born in the city of red vs blue, but I’ve earned my badge through 30 years of rain, music, and pretending I know the best chippy's. 

this city has shaped a huge part of who I am.

I muddle through life as a husband, a father, and a cyber security professional; I do my best to keep up with the ever‑evolving nonsense the digital world throws at us. 

otherwise, you’ll find me gaming, messing with tech, playing a guitar, or socialising — ideally somewhere with a decent beer.

This is where all that come's together. Expect thoughts on security, technology, gaming, creativity, and the occasional story from family life.

In the churn, everyone's got a story.
