Proudly ruining the web since 2013.
I was posting my usual waffle over on Fosstodon yesterday, and someone asked a question about having a personal site vs just using social media. So I naturally decided to write a post on my personal site about it.
Back in February, I switched from a dinosaur drinking Land Rover, to an EV. But has switching actually saved me money?
I watched the #WWDC24 event from Apple last night. Here’s my thoughts on some of the announcements.
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?
So yesterday I published a post about logging which watches I wear. It's been a fun little coding challenge for me, and I'm proud of myself. But there's always someone who has to piss on your parade...
Manu talks about self-promotion on his site, how it concerns him and whether others find it annoying, or see it as advertising.
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?
I see so many cool indie projects that have been made by really talented developers, and I'm very jealous!
Once again the Linux elitist and reply guys rear their ugly head to show that this particular penguin shaped leopard cannot change its spots. 😔

I saw a post on Mastodon recently asking about folk's opinions on Marriage. I replied, but thought I'd write my thoughts out here in a longer form.
Lots of people on Mastodon have been losing their shit over Threads joining the fediverse, so I wanted to give my opinion on this whole shit show.
In a moment of madness I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and I decided to sign up for Threads.
I'm ashamed to say that I contributed to badger cruelty, and I feel horrendous because of it.
When was the last time you saw a piece of tech that left you utterly astonished?
Manu talks about some of the subscriptions he has to online services, and in particular streaming services. It's an interesting read, and I thought I'd respond.
I recently found this minisite about using plaintext for your email. While I agree that plaintext should be the default, this site takes things way too far and frankly, misses the mark.
According to my iPhone Screen Time, I'm way under the average in terms of usage, but I still think I use my phone too much.
