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.

Much like the last two releases of BlogMore, this is another that has ended up being on the theme of improving or adorning the generated HTML. One change in the last release resulted in another HTML validator warning, and so that's cleaned up here (the removal of the h2 elements from the sidebar meant it no longer...

The previous release of BlogMore had some work that improved the HTML, ensuring that the HTML validator was happy with the generated code. Yesterday evening I ran it over more of the pages, and found a couple more things that made sense to address. So v2.26.0 takes this a little further and tries to clean more...

As I've written about a few times in the last week or so, the journey with AI-based coding tools has hit an interesting time when it comes to prices, quotas, usage, availability and all that. Having come into all of this via a place where it was a flat fee, and where I didn't really need to think about input tokens...

Now that we're near the end of the free or cheap GitHub Copilot party, I thought it might be interesting to look at how much BlogMore has "cost" me to build, and what it would have cost under the proposed new pricing structure that is coming in next month. While I've looked at the comparison for last month, I've not...

The recent changes to pricing and usage, in relation to AI, aren't just about agents and coding. Not only have I seen GitHub Copilot and Gemini CLI hugely restrict their offerings for the same price, it's also come to at least one "general" tool I use too. For a while now, as part of a Google One subscription I...

Part of my morning routine, when I sit down at my desk, is to run updates. This ritual updates, amongst other things, anything I've installed via Homebrew. As this ran I noticed antigravity-cli turn up as an addition to the index of things to install. Noticing this, I decided to swap from the "trust me, bro"...

Following on from the previous release, which was all about trying to get a big PageSpeed Insights win through image optimisation, I'm chasing some more validation from that site by trying to squeeze just a little more performance out of the code that BlogMore generates. BlogMore v2.25.0 has the following changes to...

Well, what a surprise, nobody could have seen it coming: it does seem to be bait and switch season in LLM/agent land. As I mentioned earlier today, when I ran up Gemini CLI to have it work on a change to BlogMore in the background, I got a notification that I should be swapping to Antigravity CLI instead. I let...

I just sat down at my desk and fired up Gemini CLI to get it to make a change to BlogMore, and I see this: I've yet to actually look at AntiGravity, so I know pretty much nothing about it at this point. After a brief glance at the link that was given it seems like it's a positive change, perhaps. Honestly, I'm not...

Pretty much every project that I actively maintain on my GitHub account has a change log of some description. For a long time now, whenever I add a new entry to the log, I'll include a link to the PR that implements that change. Inevitably, this results in me adding the ChangeLog entry, creating the PR, then doing a...

I've made a minor bump to OldNews, my terminal-based client for TheOldReader. There's no significant change in this release, but it does change the dependency on html-to-markdown. Since I initially released the application, this library seems to have been through a couple of significant changes, and not every...

Quite a few weeks ago now -- I think it was around the time I started work on blogmore.el and got the new MacBook Air -- I remember sitting in a cafe in Edinburgh and via Mastodon having a conversation with Andy about tweaking better results out of PageSpeed Insights. I seem to remember him correctly observing that...
