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.

  • My website is back on the fediverse.

    Fediverse reactions

  • I really want to start writing short stories on here. Much like an old friend Andy Hawthorne does.

  • I’m still finding inline styles in old posts from my time with WordPress and it’s guttenberg editor. I like the idea of the guttenberg editor, but gosh if it doesnt bloat the fuck out of your html.

    I’m now on ClassicPress which is WordPress, if WordPress hadnt gone down the swanny.

  • Them: Hey Dave, you should use “ai”.

    Me:

    Somewhere, on a desert road in U.S.A, is a dusty drinks bar about to erupt into a fight. This album playing on the jukebox.

    I got vibes of my distant memories of the film Road House. No sure how accurate that is.

    Favourite Songs:

    • Love Letter
    • Real Man
    • The Road’s my middle name

  • Found my old iPod classic with all my music still on there. Loads of it.

    Just gotta get it working with my linux install.

    First step to getting my music listening out of big tech.

  • Finally got a Casio F-91W watch. Similar, or perhaps the same, as I had as a child.

    Does pretty much everything a watch needs to do, without all of the modern “smart” rubbish many “watches” have nowadays.

  • 😀 wordpress

  • A pair of child-size velcro-fastening shoes. Blue with white toes and blue cheater print pattern. One of the shoes has had its entire top section torn off by a very naughty dog.

    Get a dog they said…

  • WordPress, like pretty much everyone, is gulping up the ai hype and introducing and showing off a bunch of ai capabilities around a wordpress website (as seen in State of the Word 2025)

    My question for anyone out there is, is this even wanted by anyone?

    Having a third party ai take action on a website is not exciting to me. It’s just another step in taking humans out of creative endeavours.

  • No. I’m not gonna rebuild my website core. But i think I’m gonna try to build my own classic theme, based loosely on an old version of my site.

    Could be fun?

  • The urge to completely redesign and rebuild my website again has once again entered my mind.

    Send help.

    Also: should I?
