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.

So today is the day, today is when GitHub Copilot swaps to its new billing system. Watching the relevant subreddit suggests this might not be popular. Some folk think it isn't the smartest move. Some don't feel too friendly towards it...
Another quick update to BlogMore: this time doing a little bit of tidying up in support of my use of it over on my photoblog. The new items I've added to the stats page are working out really well, but over on the photoblog they were...
Well, I wasn't expecting to release a new version of BlogMore quite so soon, given I made a release earlier today. But an issue came in that the Bluesky icon wasn't showing in the socials section on someone's blog, despite the fact that...
I've just realised that, somehow, I've managed to post something on this blog, every single day this month. A large part of this is, of course, because I've been doing a lot of stuff on BlogMore, but there's no getting away from the fact...
I've released BlogMore v2.34.0. This is a small update to make some changes to the newly-added dump command. The first change is a small fix to the url_path property, which wasn't being populated; now it is. The second change adds two...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
