New Blog, New Bullets

Okay, time to pull the trigger on this thing. It's not 100%, but it's good enough, and if I keep posting to my Wordpress blog, I'll never ship this thing.

Welcome to my new static blog. Built with Eleventy.

I'm still working on it. I'm not happy with how "themes" work in Eleventy. So I don't have one. It means I need to dust off my ancient CSS knowledge.

As well as fixing problems with old posts, I have plans to do more with the site, the idea being to make this the central repository of all my Internet nonsense. I don't know if anyone else cares about this, but I do. I want to have this as an archive. And if you enjoy reading any of it, great!

I'm happy to have my old 2001-2007 blog posts and my 2007-2025 Wordpress blog posts in one place. I've got the comments archived, but you can't see them. Debating if that's a bug or a feature. I love going back over the old comments, but I turned Wordpress comments off ages ago and haven't missed the spam. Comments on a static site is a total faff. But maybe I'll figure out some way to archive mastodon replies.

Hit me up on mastodon.

I've been busy the last few months working on the house. Painting, mostly. We are, amazingly, approaching the end. I'd love to tell you all about it. It's been a journey.

An exhausting journey.

I did eventually get into Cyberpunk 2077. And I finished it. Once I resigned myself to the nihilism, I found myself enjoying it.

At the moment I'm playing Hades. There may be a post about it later. Maybe!

Happy Doctor Who Day! The extent of my celebration was listening to Stranded while I painted.
