Beautiful sky when I came home this evening.
Update on 500 Social
500 Social has been around for a few months now and things are going well. Here’s what’s been happening…
I just realised that today is the 2 year anniversary of our move to our little Welsh smallholding. How time flies...
I Want to Strangle Him...Sometimes
I love my sons, but my goodness there are times I want to strangle them. Then, sometimes, they show us why it's worth it.
Reading Old Posts
Do you ever go back and read your old posts? I do it now and again and I always discover something I forgot I wrote.
Our chickens have half a stable that I partitioned for them. I even insulated it!
Chickens come in at night and are like “nah, we’re good on this tiny ledge right by the open door. Cheers though. 👍”
Why Have Multiple Blogs?
A few people I follow have multiple blogs that they use for various topics, but I don't really understand why.
Emma Mattresses Are Crap
My wife and I recently bought an Emma Mattress, but it's since gone back because, frankly, it's shite.
FFS #Mozilla, what are you doing?
Say it with me folks…
WE 👏 DON’T 👏 WANT 👏 ANY 👏 ADS
To “fix the internet” we don’t need more ads, we need you guys to come up with more diverse revenue streams. Like, I dunno, making great products and charging for them? 🤯

I've just discovered baby hippos and they're my new favourite thing.
The Right to Remain Silent
I've recently been down a YouTube rabbit hole about Police who abuse their position. If you were stopped by an officer, would you exercise your right to remain silent?
How to make yourself sound like an absolute wanker in a single sentence:
Lee is a managing director of a $102B private equity firm, he is probably richer than me. (Though I doubt he gives back as much.)
Well done, Matt. You continue to make yourself look like an utter tosser.
A Year With Kirby CMS
It’s been a year since I migrated this site to Kirby CMS, let’s talk about how that’s gone…
First fire of the year. 🥶🔥🔥
My Thoughts on the WordPress Drama
I wrote about Matt's post the other day, but things have escalated significantly since then. Like, SIGNIFICANTLY. Here's my thoughts...
On Removing Content
I wanted to share some thoughts on removing content from a public blog.
When I was in the USA recently, I’d get laughs every time I pulled my phone out (not very often as I hardly use it). It’s an #iPhone 13 Mini and everyone commented on how they’ve never seen one, how cute it is, and would ask how I use something so small.
Are smaller phones really that rare in the States? 🤷♂️
WP Engine is not WordPress
Matt, the co-founder of WordPress, writes about how WP Engine is a “cancer to WordPress” because they disable revisions.
Digital Fortress
When the National Security Agency's invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician.
Ahhhhh shit, he found us. 😂😂
