Dave Pearson

My personal blog which covers a handful of main topics and wanders through all sorts of subjects. Mostly you'll see me writing about coding and Python and a bit of Emacs and so on; but sometimes there will be more random thoughts and personal stuff.

I can't remember how and where I saw it, but just over a week ago I ran into Project Gemini. Somehow I've never read or seen anything about this before, which is pretty wild considering it's been on the go for around seven years now. As I read up on it I got more and more intrigued. I had the urge to do... something...

Yesterday evening I kicked off a new project using Antigravity. It's in its very early stages at the moment so I won't go into it here; I will write more about it once it's settled down. But while working on it yesterday evening I ran into the oddest thing. When using something like the Antigravity CLI I've got used...

In the last month or so, as I've mentioned a few times before, I've been trying to tidy up some of my older personal Emacs Lisp packages. I thought I'd updated all the ones I commonly use, but it turns out I hadn't. Somehow I'd missed become.el. This is another one of those packages whose content started out as...

The simplification of my mode line is sticking, in that I like how it's turned out and I find it more useful to have it this simple. But I did notice something was missing: I'm a pretty constant but pretty casual user of projectile. I know it's a package that offers a wealth of tools, yet mostly I just use it as a...

Having generated an animation of the development of BlogMore, I thought it might be interesting to visualise the evolution of the repository for this blog. So here it is: I do like how it's really obvious when I changed from Jekyll to Pelican (a little after 3:11), and again from Pelican to BlogMore (a little after...

A little animation of the first few months of the work on BlogMore: The video covers the whole period of building BlogMore, from the start until today. This means that it includes work done using GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini CLI, and Antigravity.

Introduction An occasional collection of things I've recently found on the Internet and added to my bookmarks. Tutti Space Program Described as "A playful 2D space sandbox with flowing materials, heat, and gravity", it's exactly that. One of those things to mess with in the browser when you're either waiting for a...

It's the best part of two years now since I dropped Pinboard in favour of Raindrop. It's also seven years now since I first created a Pinboard account and started collecting possibly-useful bookmarks1. I've found this process useful, and it continues to be a great way to find and remember things. The way it works...

I've released blogmore.el v5.3.0. This is a pretty small release but adds a command I realised I'd forgotten to add a couple of releases ago. Now that BlogMore has the concept of a post series, and now that blogmore.el lets you add and remove a series from a post, it makes sense that I'd want to link to a series in...

So after the screw-up by Openreach and EE, where I was promised full fibre and then it never happened, I'd assumed that nothing was going to happen for quite some time. I was told that (likely) Openreach would contact me when they'd solved whatever the problem was, but I wasn't holding out much hope that it would be...

After last weekend's attempt at making a couple of stotties, I thought I'd have another go. This time the aim was to try and get the classic shape, mostly by trying to ensure they were rounded and also flatter before going into the oven. The dough post-rise: Ready for the oven: Fresh out of the oven: Side view:...

It's been a wee while now since I stopped using GitHub Copilot and switched to doing everything locally (in a tool sense, not a model sense) with the Antigravity CLI, so I thought I'd jot down how it's been going. Simply put, it's been going well. I've found the CLI itself easy enough to work with (I've not really...
