CLOUDWAYS MANAGED WORDPRESS HOSTING FROM A MOTORHOME
I run Cloudways managed WordPress hosting from a van with Starlink, which means I’m always online and always reachable when something breaks. Here’s why that’s actually fine.
The More I Understand AI, The More I Want to Do
There’s a specific kind of frustration that kicks in when you start getting good at something. Not the early confusion. The later kind, where you can suddenly see ten things you want to build and only have time for one. A week of Anthropic Academy, vibe coding and n8n automation that changed how I think about all of it.
The Uncomfortable Rebuild: Why I Blew Up My Website and Started Again
The Squarespace Temptation This is the story of my WordPress migration from Elementor to Kadence, and why it nearly didn’t happen. Before we get to the rebuild, I need to confess something.

No influencer hacks. No seven-figure screenshots. Just a system that works if you do. And because I’m nice (and sick…
I Automated My Merch Store Promotion. Here’s What Actually Happened.
There’s a point where you realise you’re spending more time telling people about your products than actually making them. New item on the store. Write a Facebook post. Resize the image.

New Online Merch Store
If it’s funny or sarcastic, you’ll find it here I’ve finally done it. I’ve achieved my lifelong ambition, not climbing Everest, winning a Nobel Prize, or even remembering to put the bins out on a Thursday night, but launching an online store dedicated solely to sarcastic, borderline-offensive clothing.
