What is Simon Cox up to now?

Last updated: 30 June 2025 It's so hot!
Have been strategically closing curtains and blinds and opening doors and windows during the day to keep the heat out and its mostly working. We do have a portable air conditioning unit we have one in the bedroom at night and that makes it comfortable enough to sleep well.
Work
Sorting out a charities wordpress site at the moment. This hasn't so far endeared me to WP at all and is just confirming my reluctance to use it at all.
Also have been working on a pitch for a site currently on WP to migrate it to another CMS, and the site went down for a day while I was writing things up - and not it wasn't me, they had upgraded a plugin.
If you want me to have a look at a project of yours, please do get in touch.
Hobbies
A bit of progress on Whitesands Quay. Have 3d printed a slipway and started owrk on the beach and quay area.
Gaming
Not really done any since the last update - too much other things going on.
Always happy to play online so please do invite me for a game of something! Me on board Game Arena.
Reading
Still slowly reading Hello World by Hannah Fry. 'Still' because I fall asleep almost immediately. I used to read books avidly but not so much these days.
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!
