A snapshot of what I'm currently up to — updated occasionally.
PotPlanner — a personal budgeting app built around the envelope method. You split your money into named "pots" (rent, food, fun, whatever), and you stop when a pot runs dry. Simple premise, surprisingly hard to stick to without the right tool.
I had a working version. Lost it entirely during an OS switch — a git mishap that I still think about. So I'm rebuilding from scratch. Slower this time. Better scaffolding. Fewer shortcuts I'll regret in six months.
The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. I'm not going to say anything else because the last person who spoiled something for me is still not forgiven.
Podcasts, almost exclusively. Two I keep coming back to:
Have a Word — two UK stand-up comedians talking about life, mental health, and mostly nothing in particular. Consistently funny. The exact opposite of a productivity podcast.
Mike and Vittorio's Guide to Parenting — two dads figuring it out in real time. Neither are about tech and that's entirely the point. A reminder that the world is bigger than pull requests.
Cardiff City FC. Just got promoted to the EFL Championship from League One.
Make of that what you will.
