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.

Since kicking off the work on BlogMore and blogmore.el, I've absolutely found that I've reduced the friction involved when it comes to writing a quick (or not so quick) blog post. I've also found that I want to go back and tidy up lots of my old posts. Over the past few weeks I've gone and cleaned up the size and...

I've released v2.33.0 of BlogMore, which extends the stats page some more, and also adds a tool so a user can do all sorts of fun things with the raw data of their posts. The addition to the stats page is a list of years along with the top five words that characterise the focused subject for those years. This is...

Now that BlogMore is so obviously feature-complete and there's nothing else I could possibly need to add to it... here's v2.32.0 with a quick new feature. The work to add the relatedness of posts got me wondering about other things that could be measured about the content of posts, and a bit of reading and looking...

A quick update to BlogMore, with a small accessibility improvement, and also a whole new set of data for the graph. The accessibility update follows on from a change published yesterday. In that release I did a little bit of work to disambiguate links to categories and tags that had the same link text; this time...

BlogMore has been bumped to v2.30.0. This release is pretty heavy on new features, but it does also include one small accessibility tweak too. While looking through some of the neutral feedback from PageSpeed Insights I noticed it mentioned that in some cases I had a category and a tag linked on the same page, where...

Despite the fact that I am not, in any way, superstitious, I kind of have this rule: don't make definitive statements about the absolute happening of an event until it happens; it kind of feels like you're tempting the universe to prank you. I don't always follow it, I know it's kind of silly, but it's there and...

While it did appear something had changed for the better yesterday evening, things looked different again this morning. Before getting to work, I did a couple of quick changes to BlogMore; this time Antigravity seemed to use up a bit more quota in the same amount of time as I was working last night, but this time...

Something has changed with Antigravity since I first tried it out the other day. While looking at adding a related posts feature to BlogMore, I thought I'd give it another try out (having gone back to using Gemini CLI while I still could). That first (and last) time I tried it, while on whatever model it decided for...

I wasn't made for this. I didn't move to Scotland for this. I don't like this. Yes, I know it's warmer elsewhere. Yes, I know it's warmer elsewhere in the UK, today. Whatever. This is still not fun and I still don't like it.

A quick update to BlogMore that stems from a couple of accessibility concerns raised when using PageSpeed Insights. While the accessibility score on pages generated by BlogMore is pretty excellent (96/100), a couple of things were highlighted that seemed worth tackling in some way. The first was that the title bar...

I've just released BlogMore v2.28.0. This release has some small improvements to the JSON-LD structured data that was added in the last release, and also adds support for actually showing author names on posts. On the latter point first: I only ever really created BlogMore for myself, thinking that perhaps some...

While I know the subject really fires some people, ad blockers are something I've never really paid too much attention to. Back in the early days of the web, the really early days, I used to run with full-on JavaScript blocking1. The web changed and I accepted it. More recently, as I've become a full-time Safari...
