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.

Agentic Misalignment: How LLMs could be insider threats New research on simulated blackmail, industrial espionage, and other misaligned behaviors in LLMs

Bad news for those of you cheating on your wives.

And they say print is dead.

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

I absolutely love how big @github.com makes the photo on your profile.

but why

thanks @discord.com i hate it

hey have you heard of websites

An image of the Notion desktop app, showing a new 'Available offline' toggle and some new icons in the top toolbar.

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

I finally started using Linear and good lord what have I been doing with my life. linear.app

Holy @arcustech.com support, Batman. I am *very* happy new customer, I look forward to growing old together.

It’ll be out in two weeks!

Also went on my first ever podcast today, March 17th just a solid day all around.

Happy March 17th to those who celebrate. A few things to choose from:

🎂 My niece's birthday.
🇬🇧 The anniversary of my move to London.
🎪 100 days until Glastonbury.
🍀 Saint Patrick's Day.

My mum is gonna be so proud/confused.

The lid of a black LARQ water bottle, which shows only the A of their logo. It has similarities to Aphex Twin’s more abstract “A” logo.

Reminded of Aphex Twin every time I drink water.

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

I think “Charlotte” suits me.

This cured my colourblindness.

The jury didn't even need to deliberate, they agreed on the verdict immediately.

i live in london what is blue sky

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!

Lock the drop screen.

HASHTAAAAAG.

I’m here for the nonsense.

“Drug Officers were slightly impeded in their duties by a curious fact unknown to Interpol — that the effects of the local cider were indistinguishable from LSD.”

Yeah! Accessibility is one thing I really want to start focusing on with the websites I've built, I've been too lazy with it.
