Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.

  • Trip to Gruffalo land at Twycross Zoo

    Took Henners to Gruffalo land at Twycross Zoo. A late one and was a cold one. But he still enjoyed it.

  • Even though the WordPress ecosystem is about as stable as the dimensions in Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart right now, I do still self host my website on it.

    I’ve been working on a lastfm scrobbles importer with time permitting over the past month.

    Its currently in Alpha testing and is importing both the older scrobbles from the past ten years up to currently listening to.

    It’ll be nice to be able to have the option to scrobble directly to my site in the future. Until now this will do me.

    I will release it in Beta as soon as the admin area pages are tidied up.

  • Rivet on Blizar Prime

    Cool pose I caught after a cut scene on Blizar Prime. Loving the game.

    The wind was strong and the rain heavy. Aloy returning to Meridian through the fields.

    Really enjoying Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. Even more fun than the previous game.

    The side missions especially have been great.

  • Making decent progress with my lastfm scrobbles importer plugin for WordPress. Importing (new and backdating) is working.

    Just need to tidy up the admin display and sort out the displaying in templates.

    It’s been years since I worked on WP plugins so it’s taking some time along with my screaming tot.

  • These “End of Year” wrap ups are getting ridiculous. Like most Internet fads.

    Now my banking app has decided to show me a “wrap up”.

    Like “Here you go David – here’s how much you spend living this year and a reminder of why you can’t afford a new boiler yet”.

  • I was in the top 0.25% of listeners of Motorhead in November 2024. On YouTube Music. Thanks to @malarkey for the album recommendations. Couldn’t have done it without him 😅

  • Walking

    Walking

    Aloy walking down a grassy hill with the Grave Hoard in the far distance.

    I’ve missed photographing this game.

  • What is the child, but a Mother’s hope that takes flight? A glowing flame that climbs the air set free to the wind. Sailing the sky ’ til it fades and falls? So from one to another passes the chain of love.

    Teersa — Horizon Zero Dawn

  • I’m working on a WordPress plugin to import scrobbles from Last fm and display on your website.

    It’ll work like the traktivity plugin that imports and displays trakt watches for TV shows and films.

    It’s an itch I want to scratch but hopefully could be helpful to others out there.
