It’s amusing/annoying how the Apple devices at home respond whenever anyone says “Hey Siri” in the video stream during the WWDC keynote.
Aside from that, I’d say it was a bit of a yawn this year 😴
At the front
When going by bus, I always sit at the front, if I can. And now, when commuting by the DLR, I have a new front seat to go for.
I just realised I’ve moved to a…
I just realised I’ve moved to a different hemisphere! I’ve gone all the way from 0.05° W to 0.001° E, about 60 metres across the Prime Meridian!
V&A East
The V&A East museum was a bit of a mixed bag for me, tbh, but I enjoyed the view from the roof terrace.

I’d forgotten quite how old old-style banks are. A standing order can’t go out on the weekend? Does a clerk need to print it out, take it to the accounts department, and hand it to another clerk? 🤨

My new commute
This is my first commute by public transport in eight years. It takes just under 40 minutes door to door but I’m no longer getting my 10K steps per day.

Why are the doors inside UK flats self-closing, so you need to bend down and remove a doorstop whenever you actually want to close the door? 🤔
Dinner favourite
We sometimes end up at Hoko for dinner after work, and it always goes a bit like this:
1x Hong Kong Classic French Toast
1x With Peanut Butter
1x Scrambled Eggs Char Siu BBQ Pork Rice
1x Lychee Yakult Ice
1x Pineapple Ice
1x Swiss Wings (5pcs)

Note to self: Remember to go to the new flat, not the old one, after work tonight.
Moving day
Bye bye, home 😢
Moving out
I always find it sad to move out of a place, no matter where I’m moving to, and this place has been the place I call home for much longer than I could have ever imagined when I moved in in April 2014.
Flat 7 has been a nice little place, and I’ve particularly enjoyed how easy it’s been not to buy a lot of stuff when living here. It just wouldn’t fit!
All good things come to an end, and we’ve realised it is time for a bit more space. Getting up at different times or both of us working from home hasn’t been easy when there’s no separate room and no doors.
On Wednesday, we’re moving into a temporary flat until we can get our new home. Hopefully, it shouldn’t be too long now!
End of an era
I’m moving on Wednesday, so today was the last Saturday with this particular routine.
How (A)I built this blog
AI is definitely a big help for me as an infrequent coder. For a while now, I’ve been pasting code and errors into Claude or ChatGPT to get some help, like “What does this error mean?” or “What is the correct way of doing this in React?”
The blog you’re reading right now is the first time I’ve let the AI actually build an application. Admittedly, it’s very basic: a static site generator in Python, using templates and publishing to the web, but looking back, I haven’t actually written a single line of code or barely even looked at one.
Here’s what I did…
