Home automation, music, the bike, the odd bit of cooking, and a fair amount of drivel. It’s all hobby stuff and I’m not an expert at any of it, so take it as how I do things rather than how they ought to be done.

Nothing here is for sale, there’s no mailing list, and you can’t comment. It’s a notebook that happens to be public.

Smart Home

Home Assistant automations, dashboards, sensors, and the occasional one that only works on a Tuesday.

Music

Playing, recording, and the gear that makes it happen.

Projects

Stuff I’m messing with.

Motorbike

Riding, maintenance, and jobs that took three times as long as planned.

Travel

Trips, places, and getting there.

Food

Occasional cooking. What worked, what did not, and the odd thing worth making again.

Drivel

General rubbish. Opinions, tangents, and anything that fits nowhere else.
