As @glastopedia.com passes 10,000 pages and with no festival until 2027, it seems like a good time to start thinking about a complete revamp.

Years of adding new features while entire sections were held together by tape resulted in some fun additions, but like all of us, the site needs some love.

And they say print is dead.
I bought a portable thermal printer and it’s my new favourite thing.

I'm sure it's not entirely surprisingly that my first attempt at an automated Bluesky account is @glasto.cam

Warning: this is *not* an April Fool’s Day joke. I was actually invited on a podcast to talk about @glastopedia.com

Ivan shared this screenshot of @notion.com's highly anticipated offline mode on 𝕏 and inadvertently leaked some strange new features.

Toying with the idea of pulling Bluesky posts into my site, because I definitely post a lot and also have very good posts.

It's been a very fun week building with @craftcms.com. A couple of client projects on the go, as well as a new side project I've been thinking about for ages. I'm excited to share more info soon!

I wonder if they'll have gladiator-style battles at this event. #makewithnotion #mwnldn

Apart from me, obviously, who has the best domain username on Bluesky?

My favourite part of Gladiator II was when the logo at the start transitioned into GLADIIATOR. My second favourite part was when the film ended and I could go home.
