Been just about a year since Ash and I were in Japan, and last night, the first cooler evening we've had this summer, I was thinking about a hot, steaming bowl of ramen.

Another small update to Usagi!

Small update to Usagi, I've included the weekly usage bar for Fable just below the weekly usage bar: usagi A glanceable Claude.ai usage indicator for your menu bar.

Joel Spolsky once called it "the single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make", and not for nothing: "When you throw away code and start from scratch, you are throwing away all that knowledge.

Once again found myself needing to create a bootable Windows USB stick on macOS, once again surprised at how fiddly it was.

Claude is changing how I write software dramatically.

A few weeks ago I built some custom firmware to turn the Ulanzi TC001 desktop clock into a Stripe subscription statistics and notification doodad.

Yesterday I was looking at the zclaw project, and I thought it would be cool if the ESP32 could run an actual language model instead of phoning out to OpenAI, Anthropic, or some other provider.

Parachuting into an unfamiliar codebase, where the original author is long gone, is an experience that will be familiar to a lot of developers.

The way that I've used AI for coding has changed drastically over the last year.

My main side project at the moment is this blog.

It was impossible for me not to include this image.

By way of disclaimer: I really like Cloudflare, I've been a customer and (minor) shareholder for years, and I will continue to use them.

I live my life a quarter gig at a time.

A lot of drafts.

I recently refurbished an old iPod Classic, and purchased some albums in the iTunes Store (yes, it still exists!)

I needed an invoice generator to quickly produce some random test invoices while building Manano, as part of a feature letting tradesmen track receipts by sending photos to our WhatsApp number.

A few months ago my parents gave me a box of my stuff they’ve had variously in attics and storage since I moved out in my early twenties.

Note I originally wrote this in June 2025, but never published it because I thought it was too short.

We've been going over the pros and cons of the current route, and have decided that the V-shaped travel route is not our best option.
