Despite adding a honeypot, form validation, and a script which requires at least a 30 character, there-word message, since I switched to Eleventy, I get a lot of these spammy submissions. Any ideas?

I’m sure this is due to coming off SSRIs. My brain has been in a hyper fight or flight mode. Something to do? Gotta do it now! Nothing to do? Invent something! I can’t stay still until I literally crash. The next six weeks holiday are gonna be interesting as I literally have zero somethings to do.

37 degrees here in Mainz. Fucking hell!

Final work day until 8th September.

Happy birthday ‘r’ kid @bradfrost.com 🤘

Went to see The Odyssey. I think it’s Matt Damon’s second best performance.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

All bow down to my excellent DIY plumbing skills. Worship at the temple of my new outside tap!

I’m gonna give my clients a t-shirt which says, “Stop putting two fucking spaces after a period.”

I have a lot of faith in Andy Burnham. Don’t let me down kid.

It’s a couple more weeks until we break for our August break, so I’m trying to finish off my work on Lockrose and Portico Investments.

Three weeks today since I completely stopped taking SSRIs. Apparently it takes 3-4 weeks for the body to adjust, so almost there. I’ve been surprisingly OK. The brain zaps have faded and so have the occasional disorientation.

Almost three weeks since I completely stopped my SSRIs. The weirdest side effects are “brain zaps.”

Maybe we can win the World Cup at least once in my lifetime?

Ready?

Well, the French were very poor.

I have a couple of smaller projects to work on before we close the studio for the August break. I started one of them, for property investment consultants Portico Investments, last week.

I can smell smoke from the wild fires, even miles away.

Engerlaaaaand!

A lot of the French players’ names end in “ey” sounds. That is so wrong. They should end in “ix.”

I’ve been running the IOS27 developer beta on my phone and quite honestly, you wouldn’t know it was a beta.

If I lived in Clacton, I wouldn’t vote for the novelty candidate. I’d vote for Count Binface.

Expect Trump to slap a 1000% tariff on Belgium.

👉 The camera that took me places For years, I said that one day, when I could, I’d buy the camera that played such a big part in my early career. After 35 years or so, this Sinar P2 5x4” camera is finally mine. stuffandnonsense.co.uk/blog/the-cam...

It only took me 35 years to finally own my dream camera. It’s a Sinar P2 5x4 camera, with a 90mm Super Angulon lens, sat on a FOBA tripod. Both the Swiss brands I used to sell when I was in my 20s. I know it’s nostalgic, but having this makes me very happy today.

Restoring this bad boy.

I love football. I love the World Cup. But this year, I haven’t been motivated to watch even one match.
