My notes

2025-12-07 - Eleventy up and running
So I have my site running on 11ty now. I still have a lot of work to do on content ingestion into feeds - I'll probably end up writing a feed template. I need to fix the conflict between my rss and image-transform plugin setup, and to finish various general template improvements.

We will not collect enough points to stay in this division trying not to lose. Change approach, or change coach.

2025-11-25 - Next previous steps
I've been enjoying the simplicity of my bearblog, but am torn on whether to keep it, replicate it back into Kirby, or with an eye on the future recreate in maybe 11ty or Astro. Too much choice.

2025-11-14 - Liquid Glass Screensaver
Though I found the transition to liquid glass painful, I absolutely love the rotating screensaver images, which never fail to brighten up my day.

2025-11-10 - Webmentions finally sending from Bearblog
This has taken such an unbelievable (days) amount of faff, but I finally have webmention likes that I send displaying as intended, and not just as 'mentions'.

2025-11-01 - Working Webmentions on Bear

I had webmentions working pretty quickly on bear last night, displaying them where the upvote counter is not used took longer to refactor.

2025-10-26 - Video hosting for my BearBlog
Installing CDN video hosting into my BearBlog, along with a clips section, with plans to migrate all of my macretro youtube work into my own environ.
In one quick experiment last night, I tested Bunny for video hosting. That was really simple, embedding an iframe with the video url as src, and applying a minimal amount of styling in the theme to make the borders look better.

I then added my Clips section to the site, which I'll need to replicate on my front page. If costs are sensible, I will migrate all of my youtube hosted retro gaming content here.

It does seem to use a cookie, which I need to look at, but I don't think tracking anything beyond the session.

2025-10-25 - FC United of Manchester 1 Bamber Bridge 0

I headed down to Manchester to catchup with Craig this afternoon, taking in FC United of Manchester's 1-0 Trophy win over Bamber Bridge. Adam Le Fondre deflected a late ball into the net in front of the home terrace, in a largely uneventful game.

2025-10-24 - Plaid win in Caerphilly

Listen Cardiff and listen Westminster. This is Caerphilly. And we are telling you we want a better deal. Wales is at the dawn of a new leadership, a new beginning.

Plaid Cymru’s Lindsay Whittle speaking on lifting the Caerphilly seat in the Senedd from an increasingly listing Labour.

2025-10-23 - Weblog.lol interactions

I've not noticed the interactions block on a weblog.lol site previously. I don't see whether it receives webmentions or from Bluesky. Might be an option if my current Bear experiment fails...

2025-10-23 - Fan Forum - October 2025

Given that Vickie has been in Portugal for the week, and I cannot watch Burnley's output on, ugh, X, ugh - I'm sure she will be looking forward to tonight's feature length viewing!

2025-09-06 - Hartlepool Parkrun 521

We started off the day with our annual visit to Hartlepool Parkrun as we are up in the North East for the weekend ahead of the Great North Run tomorrow.

My legs seem to be moving very well, with good form, and my pace seems to be flying back with Mounjaro induced weight-loss. On the other hand my endurance and fuelling have definitely taken a hit, feeling out of gas throughout.

I held onto around 5:15/km throughout for a 26:40 finish - my fastest 5km in two years, and my fastest Hartlepool Parkrun. Very happy with that considering I did not have the energy to hit the pedal - though I'll need to ease off considerably tomorrow.
