What have I been upto? Busy, very busy. Work has been largely full on with a couple of builds that I’ve been juggling, I’ve also attempting to be supporting partner to my partner as it’s always a tough time for her at this time of the...
I was watching a reel on Instagram from Martin Lewis (for the non UK lot – a very trustworthy financial journalist, campaigner and consumer rights activist). I’ve attached it below but it’s about one of his biggest gripes – online scam...
After seeing Andy Bell talk about it on his site, I’ve gone ahead and added the ATMosphere plugin to the site to try and publish the site over the ATProtocol (which integrates with Bluesky) using standard.site. If this works well,...
So this is a bit of a regular feature – I’m going to share piece of tech that I’ve been enjoying that doesn’t suck. Because let’s be honest, technology sucks. Here’s something that’s good, fun, and doesn’t take the piss with their terms...
Web directories eh? Now that SEO spammers have stopped spamming them, they’re becoming cool again, and I was impressed with Warp Point: a web directory dedicated to one of my favourite subjects: video games. I particularly like that...
Few months ago Cloudflare introduced Markdown for machines… This blog post on Unstory is short, but really impactful. 5 paragraphs, and will never rank for anything, but it’s hit me more than any blog post I remember in the past few...
It’s incredibly boring to talk about a music concert in text form, but yesterday I watched the Foo Fighters play live in Anfield, Liverpool as part of the Take Cover 2026 tour. The first hour and a half was incredible, with me grinning...

A sausage I’ll remember for a long long time. I love Krakow. I’ve been there four times in the last 10 years, granted it’s a bit biased as I talked about before – my brother got married there in 2016 and having that knowledge on where to...
So I have a few sites with SiteGround. They’re largely sites that don’t get a huge amount of traffic (with the exception of All Rumble Stats, which gets 20k a month). Hosting is a bit like your bank account or your broadband provider:...
What have I been upto? We have quite a bit of a heatwave at the moment in the UK. Been largely getting on top of both personal and professional projects. Personal has seen me sort out a potential pest problem that manifested itself last...
Seemingly because it’s now a thing, a few weeks back I stayed a night at The Reserve: luxury accommodation within the walls of Chester Zoo. It was located in the Heart of Africa, so you were surrounded by animals that you tend to see in...
Krakow has a pinball museum. I’ve been a few times. It’s a great place to go for an evening. I’m in Krakow for WordCamp Europe in a few weeks, and I’ve suggested this and Krakow’s parkrun as things I want to do whilst listening to talks...
What have I been upto? Work has ramped up a lot (I’ve been booked up for May, and it’s likely I’ll be booked up for most of June), meaning some projects have fallen by the wayside a bit. The client in a field I like in the last update...
As part of my birthday present earlier this year, Fern got me a half day cooking course for Outdoor Dirty Cooking and smoking workshop from Howl Bushcraft, which took place a couple of Sundays ago. As part of the workshop, we learned to...
