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.

Currently

Peeling myself of the ceiling after England v Mexico, building Ikea flatpack, and pulling yellow eletrical tape out of my laptop.

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

Note

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.
