I have refactored how my 11ty builds with a new stage directory for local viewing of the site seperate from thefinal build directory so that posts that are draft can be seen locally but do not get deployed. It's an enhancement of what i had in place and I think far better.
Work
Been slow this year but that's ok - I have plenty of things to be getting on with.
If you want me to have a look at a project of yours, please do get in touch.
Hobbies
Found an photo of a shepherds hut I made in 2022. I lost the files in 2024 when moving stuff around - lots learnt - and was able to find the original photos online. This meant I was able to redraw the plans and create a new one, slighly improved.
Gaming
Daily games being played at the moment. With a cup of Tea Ordinaire, this lot gets me set up for the day and the old noggin ticking over:
- Tiled Words - Sort of a crossword.
- Clues By Sam - discover the innocents and criminals.
- Bee Sort - less taxing but fun.
- The daily spell - Work out the words - I'm doing the hilarious The Importance of Being Ernest.
- Putt Day - Daily crazy golf.
Always happy to play online so please do invite me for a game of something! Me on board Game Arena.
Ideas
About Now Ideas is an interesting site that allows searching of small sites like this that have About, Now and Ideas pages. This site now has all three!
