Wrote a piece installing OKF, Google Cloud's Open Knowledge Format, on an 11ty website - and have done it on this one. Am now monitoring the files to see what happens. Been on the lookout for a Chilean blue eagle that escaped from a local country fair last week - might have glimpsed it fly ove our garden. Saw a lighting storm 140 miles away in France - spectacular!
Work
Have made some significant optimisation gains on a Word Press Site client - still more to do but its complex as i did not develop the theme.
If you want me to have a look at a project of yours, please do get in touch.
Hobbies
Some progress on Whitesands Quay! I have actually made more progress on painting the quayside area for Whitesands Quay! Walls are now finished and painted up including the ramp sides and I have even created the cobblestone ramp and painted it up.
Gaming
Went away for a Board games weekend with chums and had a great time.
Have been playing The Return of the Obra Dinn on Steam - got a bit stuck!
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!
