Experimenting with Claude Code and some FIT files to try and map out some of my workout data. Pretty neat what a couple of fairly well crafted prompts can churn out

* Cost analysis (*Rough and ready based on UK used markets)
** Includes battery replacement costs

Sights of summer trickling in. Another scorcher of a day ahead in April, hoping this means we’ve got a packed summer of this weather!

This is a picture from last nights ride in the glorious West Yorkshire hills 🌞

Just finished my first session at Solo60 in Shoreditch. What a cool concept. Essential book a solo gym for a period of time! Really convenient and private 👍 what a great idea!

Aaaand we’re back in business! Dusted off the old ClusterHAT 2.3 and been tinkering with some Homelabby SOC this evening. Also migrated my PiHole instance to it as a first ditch play!

It’s also hooked up to a Tapo energy monitoring plug 🤓. Super cool!

The start… of the decluttering…

Newsletters rapidly get out of hand!

Hang on… is that Blue Sky?

It’s getting out of hand. But boy do I LOVE it!

Oh it’s a frosty morning here!

I don’t normally follow up on Birchy so fast, however it snowed over in Huddersfield over night and now he’s got a nice cold jacket on! #birchupdate

Poor Birchy is looking very naked this time of year. I’m going to miss this birch when we move

Unlike you I get my news from a reliable source

Oh go on then. It’d be a shame not to.

👋 Hey BlueSky. Here’s a picture of some windmills!

Been really struggling for Zwift motivation recently as the weather is just as cold when on Zwift! But this morning I finally had a burst of motivation! Let’s get it

🌱 Getting somewhere despite the awful weather in the UK, and a run in with a fat pigeon. Tomato’s almost ready to pick!

PoE Raspberry Pi!!

Quite impressed with this cheap PoE HAT from Amazon. Let’s see how long this raspi survives with this. Currently drawing 3.8W of power sat running Prometheus via docker!

Cleaning up / reassembling a RaspberryPi ClusterHAT. Lovely bit of kit that’s been shelved for too long!

This shelves a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and 4 Pi Zeros to form a neat little lower power cluster.

Reconfiguring some Ubuntu servers I run locally this evening. Got two Dell Wyse thin clients for various tinkering gubbings. That’s the technical terminology definitely.

Great little PC’s for mucking around!
