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.

Finally playing the original Red Dead Redemption (haven’t played sequel yet either)

Really loving the O.G. game.

Replaying #DaysGone on #ps5 in survivor 2 mode. Just experiencing this gorgeous story again, it’s dawned on me how criminal it is that we may never see a sequel. 😞😞😞. Although a new IP in the same world would be great, considering that Syphon Filter seems to be in that world😏

Migrating my website to Statamic

I love Laravel.

I also really like WordPress, for what it is. So when it came to originally putting my personal site together I just wanted to get a simple WordPress site together.

I have attempted to build my own website and blog in Laravel from scratch multiple times over the years. I even stuck with a build for a while but ultimately went back to WordPress.

My issue was only down to the fact that I wanted to write more in my own time and found I spent most my time tinkering.

But I really love Laravel.

So imagine my joy when I came across Statamic. Statamic is a CMS package that can be installed into a Laravel site and just works seamlessly alongside you Laravel code.

I am in the process of rebuilding my personal site and will be getting it live as soon as I can.

I think I will migrate my current site to a new domain, something like “davidpeach.me”, and then use the 4042302 technique to ensure my old posts are still found as I migrate the posts over.

I’m really looking forward to getting creative with Statamic and then layering on all of the excellent Laravel features as a way to learn as much, and refresh my mind, about my favourite framework.
