We’ve just had the two hottest May days or record in the UK, and I’ve been wishing it was last summer again and I were in Svalbard.

It was too hot for a day trip, really, but even more too hot to stay in London! 🥵

Welcome to my new blog!

Like so many things these days, it all started with an AI prompt:

I miss personal blogs and an Internet free of slop and ads.

I want to build a pre-algorithm kind of site for myself. I want it to kind of feel like a platform but don’t want anyone else on there, no likes or anything.

It will be a mix of photos and short text.

After spending a few hours writing a spec, I now have a custom-built site generator in Python resulting in the site you are looking at right now.

What a time to be alive!
