Proudly ruining the web since 2013.
I was posting my usual waffle over on Fosstodon yesterday, and someone asked a question about having a personal site vs just using social media. So I naturally decided to write a post on my personal site about it.
Brandon talks about his desire to write less about blogging. I'm not sure I agree though.
I've been thinking about the future of this site recently, and I wanted to pen down some of the thoughts that have been rattling around my grey matter.
I recently wrote about adding a watch wearing log to this site. I've been working away on improving it, and I think it's pretty great.
Everyone knows I'm a watch geek, but I've now taken it one step further and added a watch wearing log to this site.
Since I launched my guestbook back in February, lots of people have signed it, but I couldn't reply to them. Now I can.
I recently wrote about how Mastodon is DDoSing me every time I post a link to this site. I've managed to fix the problem...I think.
Whenever I, or someone else, posts a link to this blog on Mastodon, it DDoS's me and brings the site down for a couple minutes.
Have you ever thought about blogging anonymously? I blog under my real name, but wonder if that could have held me back...
I recently wrote about how I was thinking about a new layout on this site. After taking some time to think it through, I've now published it.
I've been thinking about making some changes to the layout of this site, but I'm on the fence. What do you think of these mockups?
I started the #100DaysToOffload challenge back in April 2020, but I've never been able to complete it. That has now changed. 🎉
Since launching my Guestbook yesterday, I've been hit with a bunch of spam entries. I forgot how much \"fun\" it is dealing with this shit.
After seeing Manu's guestbook, I had to get in on the action, so I've decided to create my own guestbook.
If you don't know, I work in the InfoSec / cyber / whatever you want to call it industry. So why don't I write about InfoSec here on this blog?
I've added a feature where you can click a button and visit a random post. I wasn't able to find this documented with Kirby, so thought I'd share how I did it in case is helps others.
Since deciding to start the whole PenPal thing, I wanted a way of managing those posts from within my CMS. This is how I did it.
I've been lucky enough to make a number of friends off the back of this blog (and also their blogs). This is a bit of a feel good post about how social media isn't the only way to meet new people.
I was recently talking to Jatan Mehta about microblogging vs traditional blogging, and what should go where. I thought it was an interesting conversation, so decided to share my opinions here too.
According to Matt, you should absolutely NOT change you blogging platform - I should probably take this advice on board.
