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.
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 a secret doorway.
They were the good old days. Keys in the shapes of card suits and attacks by terrifying hunters. ππ§ββοΈ
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, it’s nigh on impossible to really sit and focus on learning something for extended periods of time.
But with using an AI assistant for the specific issues each step of the way, it’s helped both with getting it done, and my understanding it easier – especially when a lot of my personal coding is done whilst I’m cooking dinner of an evening.
My specific build has been a new plugin for my WordPress website; one that automatically imports my scrobbles from last fm – an itch I’ve been wanting to scratch for a long time.
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.
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.
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”.
What is the child, but a Motherβs hope that takes ο¬ight? A glowing flame that climbs the air set free to the wind. Sailing the sky β til it fades and falls? So from one to another passes the chain of love.
