This is the third entry in a brief series of posts about diary-writing.

This is the second entry in a brief series of posts about diary-writing.

Time for something like a 'state of the diary'.

M sent me a track to listen to on Spotify the other day - actually it was a link to a playlist, or so it appeared to me initially at least, but it was actually meant to be just a link to an individual track, which it was on second click - and I listened to

Back in December, I posted about vibecoding (I'm really sorry) a new Pebble watchface, mainly to see how 'easy' it is to do this using an LLM that has ingested the SDK and knows how to structure code.

For this post I thought we'd take a nose around a cool little radio station - in celebration and recognition of the amazing Radio Survivor reaching TWO HUNDRED radio station visits over at their fantastic blog.

Lately I've fallen into a habit of listening a small set of downloaded radio shows on my commute and I've been bad at passing on my recommendations.

For more than a decade I've been doing website admin work for the Katherine Mansfield Society.

I know I said I would try and stick to one particular way of blogging so that I can embed the process and get good.

It's been a while since I stopped to reflect on my use of the Pebble watch I've been wearing daily since last July when the Pebble 2 Duo was relaunched.

A busy weekend, and part of it was occupied by me giving a talk on Charles Paget Wade to a room full of about fifty people.

I received a kind message from a mutual friend (let's face it, if you're reading this blog, you'll know Peter) and he gently pointed out that my lack of an update had prompted him to wonder if my blog's RSS feed had broken.

I recently had a bash at vibecoding my first Pebble watchface, using the super helpful SDK, tutorials and a hefty dose of ChatGPT trial and error.

Sometimes a new concept just clicks.

As usual, this blog post is nothing if not simply a way for me to check I can still remember how to update this website.

Sometimes I just need to fire up Eleventy as much to remind myself which machine I'm using it on as to remind myself how to even do it.

A brief round-up of recent things.

Had a lovely sunny weekend of first birthday parties (three of them!)

I took an impromptu daytrip to Tunbridge Wells yesterday with Marnie as it was our day together and I had a train ticket on my flexipass to use up and no other plans.

A recent post from Ava caught my eye and made me reappraise my current approach to music consumption and discovery.

I noticed the description on my /about/ page of how I edit this site and upload it was slightly out of date - I no longer use VSCode or FTP.

A brief post mainly for the RSS feed readers amongst you to say I've just added a whole new section to my website under /letters/ which is a concept I started three years ago over on an old neocities project.

So this is quite amusing: I've got Termux running on my Pixel phone, which is in a cradle holding it up towards me, and I'm using a.. ten year old?

Desperately trying to remember the name of one particular member of the livejournal "a day in my life" (adiml) community on livejournal around 2008-2010.

For reasons of pure experimentalism and just-because-I-can-ism, ive built my eleventy blog engine to run via a terminal emulator on my Android phone and it... seems to work?

Extremely meta and brief blog post that serves as 1) a reminder to myself how I achieved something and 2) potentially to help someone reading this (though it's unlikely).

This will be one of the most boring blog posts I've ever written, but bear with me as it's mainly an aide memoir for me.

I recently noticed, on separate occasions over a number of weeks, that the station clocks at two stations I use regularly were showing the wrong time, or just weren't working.
