About

An ex digital marketing person. Use to play a lot of volleyball. Retired. Ireland.

Learning to build websites with 11ty, Nunjucks and Tailwindcss.

Trying to be more Tech Independence and this website is the start of my journey.

After a recent discussion with friends about the today's use of AI in our modern world, as an experiment I'm using a couple of AI writing tools, HyperwriteAI and OpenAI, to generate content for some of the blog posts on this website. The AI instruction is... 'make this text more engaging'. Check a post's tags for the tag ai to indicate this use of AI.

For comments I’m using Cusdis. Cusdis is an open-source, lightweight and privacy-first comment system. A login is not required to post a comment although each comment is approved (or not!) before being published on this website.

This website's photo galleries take a lot of inspiration from the Eleventy Photo Gallery by Tanner Dolby especially the use of layouts and image shortcodes.
