Field notebook

I like to keep a record.

Software developer based in Sheffield and semi-obsessive logger of things.

This is my digital field notebook; it's where I write down my thoughts, log my reading, and track my Spanish learning. Everything enters via the command line and the output is this website.

Sheffield GB ; 53.22°N 1.28°W

This is everything: articles, notes, completed reads, spanish milestones; being outputted in the reverse order that they came in.

Rough way to go out after a generally positive tournament. Despite going full Southgate for the last 25 minutes I think Tuchel has been a good change and should stay. Might just have a rough ride with the press and pundits for the next few weeks..

We're setup for a good final at least, ¡Vamos, España!

The new version of this site is live!

I have moved away from Astro in favour of statically generating the files myself using Go. I re-designed the site based on the idea of a field notebook, taking inspiration from this essay on imagining your site as a physical object or place.
