Notes
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.
-
the activitypub plugin for wordpress really is incredible. It means I don’t need a separate mastodon account to be a part of the social web going forward. And coupled with the Friends plugin to follow others, I really can do most of my interactions online via my own website. 💚

I may be ready to take a break from metal music. Instead I’m going to try and soak up as music classical music as I can. Starting tonight with Moonlight Sonata. Always reminds me of the original Resident Evil game. It’s the tune that Rebecca or Jill have to play on the piano to open…

I’ve been ignoring AI out of a sheer tiredness of hearing it from every corner of the web / tv / etc. But damn it if it hasn’t been helpful in me making updates and new features to my website. Due to not having much free time at the moment, or for the foreseeable future,…

People at my local supermarket are bulk buying because of us *possibly* having *a little bit of* snow. Honestly I have to laugh or I’ll just cry at people. Carry on; all is fine.

I now have scrobbles a.k.a. listens of songs importing into my site. Viewable at https://davidpeach.me/listened Still some teething issues but for the most part there.

Just finished Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. Incredible game. I got completely lost in it and just loved every single minute.

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…

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 😅
