Monday 1 December Rest day before week with a few things scheduled in it.

Since October 2025 I have been daily blogging at notes.peteashton.com featuring a status update and a bunch of links I feel are worth sharing.

Since October 2025 I have been daily blogging at notes.peteashton.com featuring a status update and a bunch of links I feel are worth sharing.

It's been a while since I wrote anything substantial, for this newsletter or elsewhere.

As I very slowly (so very slowly) make my way through recovery from this exhaustion of the last year, I find myself with moments of lucidity where I think of something I want to write about.
