Blogging isn't easy

Posted on Jan 12, 2026

Getting this blog running was the easy part after just a few evenings sunk into GitHub Actions and a healthy refusal to use anything turnkey. Writing for it, though? That’s the harder bit.

I’ve been staring down this empty page longer than I care to admit, trying to unpick how I’m meant to sound here. Most of my past writing has lived in forums (where context cushions everything) or in places that demand neutrality and polish. Neither voice quite fits a blog, where the best writing tends to land somewhere between casual conversation and internal monologue where my point isn’t lost halfway through.

What was I saying? Oh yes, fguring that balance will take time. With any luck, the posts will get sharper as I go.

In any case, my About page is up now, which means at least something is done.
