David Peach

Welcome to my personal homepage.

My name is David Peach.

My website is part of the Human Made webring.

I share gaming photography from games such as Horizon Forbidden West, Cyberpunk 2077 and Death Stranding 2.

Alot of my little notes and thoughts go on here, as well as longer pieces such as Music journal and Programming thoughts.

All of my posts

Here starts the typical list of posts, ordered from newest to oldest, going back about 14 years.

  • I’ve started watching the code for the people mini-documentary as advertised by Automattic/Wordpress. A couple of the first interviews / voxpops were of Zuck and then the Nvidia guy. Why the fuck are we asking them about the “freedoms of the open web”. Get a grip. I’ll reserve complete judgement till I’ve watched the whole…

  • Today I had an idea for an interactive REPL for local PHP. Like similar to what TInkerwell does, but written in bash, tmux and linux builtins. I think this will be a fun little project. 🙂

  • After spending way too long faffing with individual category template files and customizations for various parts of my site, I’ve finally said “fuck it”. I’m back to just the standard archive and single page templates and going to try and just concentrate on writing more. Less developer faff — more writing anything I want. (Yes…

  • I think the UK government’s ban on social media for under-16s is a good thing. In writing. However, there’s more to this as I think more about it. I had a back and forth on Mastodon on my alt account which made me have a bit more of a think. I still think it’s a…

  • I need to go back over all my old images and add alt text to them. Some of my recent ones I have forgotten about, which is no excuse. I will do better and fill in when I get chance. 🙂

  • Okay I’m going to finally write my #Introduction. I’m a programmer who mainly works with PHP in my day to day job. I work for a UK-based bed manufacturer in their in-house development team. I have a wife, two children, a dog, a cat and a tortoise… …and I still have time to run Arch…

    In the fire and the flames

    I’m super proud of this one. Taken at the village in the north of the map – I’ll update the post when I find out the name again. The fire used to save progress was used to almost show her walking through the flames.

  • I got sucked into using Gemini ai to help restructure my website and I’m ashamed of myself. I have not generated any writing or images for it – just advice on the structure of categories and noindexing certain things. For a brief moment of time I thought I could make parts of my website really…

  • I’ve been making some alterations to my website today. Not the design or anything like that — things like adding a footer and “noindexing” short text pages. Gonna be redoing my virtual photography pages too. I will still post single shots now and again, but I’m also starting to create some curated galleries too. Here’s…

  • This is my monthly lamenting about how bloody annoying tailwind is and how it’s squeezed it’s way into every project I see. Failwind, more like.

  • I recently ran a script on all of my Virtual Photography posts. It may have spammed the fediverse with the changed posts. I’m sorry if I just spammed your feed :S
