Life

We had a two-day hackathon about image research, which inescapably equated to two days of telling Claude to do my bidding (so not vastly different from usual, although there were more snacks). I didn’t review any of the code, or engage with any other PR process, which made it much more enjoyable than the regular work situation.

We went to Ηη’s Year 2 assembly about the great fire of London. Ηη was playing the role of King Charles II. Obviously he totally smashed it. I felt slightly bad that the gold paper crown I’d fashioned for him had slipped entirely over his eyes by the time it came to his bit, but it was fairly hilarious, and he powered on entirely oblivious to his heavily impaired vision.

We went to Bev for the weekend to celebrate Jim’s birthday and hang out with the little cousins. The kids got on excellently with each other for almost the entire time. I hid and read and slept for a good stretch and ended the weekend feeling remarkably well rested.

I started a Very Important Tumblr (RSS). And I’ve resolved to rekindle my interest in analogue photography as an AI antidote.

This site

I added a GitHub action that takes new issues with the add-book label/template and parses them through a function that gets the appropriate book information, adds it to the books.json, and pushes it to main, triggering an 11ty build through Netlify. Which is slightly nicer than me trying to fiddle with blocks of json on my phone. Although I haven’t tested it yet so we’ll have to wait till I finish what I’m reading to find out if it works.

Running

Maintenance and increased foot pain. Finally got round to chasing for another podiatry appointment in a month’s time though. And did a very preliminary carbon-plated-marathon-shoe search.
