On This Site & Financial Stability
I've been thinking about the future of this site recently, and I wanted to pen down some of the thoughts that have been rattling around my grey matter.
My Knee-Jerk Reaction to WWDC24
I watched the #WWDC24 event from Apple last night. Here’s my thoughts on some of the announcements.
Building a Home Gym
I haven't done a FatBoy update in a little while, so I decided to do a double-whammy and talk about how I've been getting on, along with my new little home gym.
Human or Not?
Chat with someone for two minutes, and try to figure out if it was a fellow human or an AI bot. Think you can tell the difference?
Improving My Watch Log
I recently wrote about adding a watch wearing log to this site. I've been working away on improving it, and I think it's pretty great.
We Already Have a Digital Currency
Bitcoin and their ilk really aren't my thing, but many talk about the need for a digital currency. But here's the thing - we already have one, don't we?
An Evening Stroll in the Field
We've been trying to decide what to do with our larger field. I think we have a plan, now.

I recently wrote about how Mastodon is DDoSing me every time I post a link to this site. I've managed to fix the problem...I think.
Mastodon Is DDoSing Me

The Bum Gun
My wife and I recently discovered a bum gun in one of our bathrooms at home. It gave me quite the shock!
Too Little, and Too Much, Self-Promotion
Manu talks about self-promotion on his site, how it concerns him and whether others find it annoying, or see it as advertising.
What Would My Dream CMS Be?
When writing content, I prefer to use a CMS and I've tried a lot of them. But what would my dream CMS look like?
Building Cool Shit
I see so many cool indie projects that have been made by really talented developers, and I'm very jealous!
The Day of Rest
Sunday. The day of rest. Yesterday, Saturday, was a busy day chock-full of household chores. But today, *today*, is different. I can sit on my lazy fat arse and bask in the fruits of my labour from yesterday, right?
