  • The God Slayer by Otep

    Front cover of The God Slayer album by Otep

    I’ve loved Otep’s music since discovering the album “Sevas Tra” — with that insane album cover being the thing that brought me in.

    Earlier today (yesterday) I listened to the recently-released The God Slayer, made up of half original songs and half covers.

    Loved it, although Sevas Tra has been — and remains — my favourite of Otep’s.

    My favourite songs from my first listen of the album are definitely the covers of Eminem’s “The way I Am” and the Beach Boys’ “California Girls”.

  • Don’t stop building

    I really enjoy building scripts for my own workflow.

    I wish I had the skills to build things in the real world, but until then I’ll keep building stuff in the digital space only.

    Although I love working with PHP and Laravel, it is Bash that has re-ignited a passion in me to just build stuff without thinking its got to work towards being some kind of “profitable” side project.

    Don’t. Stop. Building.

  • Website under construction

    I’ve always believed that people should own and control their own place on the web. That is, if they want to.

    I have actively kept a personal website for myself for about 10 years now.

    Gosh… 10 years…

    In that time I have moved between about 5 different domain names, different focus topics, and different reasoning behind why I want to publish online.

    I have finally settled now on this domain that you are now on – davidpeach.me.

    I’m also in the process of recovering my old posts that have been thrown by the wayside as I have dicked about changing domain names etc over the years.

    A mixture of Twitter archives, manual database backups I have kept, and some new sources I will be incorporating, mean I am finally going to settle down in this place online I am now calling home.

    I am also re-implementing aspects of the Indieweb movement for content ownership and communicating that to other websites.

    I owe a big thank you to Chris Aldrich too. As it was his website I came across that inspired me to bring my website back to what I have always wanted it to be. Hopefully, thanks to the indieweb helper plugins I have installed, Chris may just get notified on his website and post a reply back — from his website over to mine using the webmention protocol.
