Iteration

Very little of what I work on arrives fully formed. Things evolve. They get tested, changed, refined, and occasionally rethought entirely. Small changes build up over time into something more meaningful than any single big push. These posts follow that process. The small steps, the adjustments, and the ongoing work of making things a little better each time.

  1. The quiet evolution of this site 21st of April 2026 I wanted to document how I manage this site now, and how that process has gradually changed over time. Underneath it all, the principles are much the same: keep things simple, stay close to the files, and make posting easier with each iteration.
  2. The simple joy of iterating 16th of April 2026 It suddenly struck me that I'm free to play with my websites, to test out ideas, explore techniques, think and re-think things. And thats just what I've been doing.
  3. Updating all the things 16th of January 2025 Play, tinkering and experimentation OR Friction and inaction redux.
  4. Switching to Eleventy 24th of September 2021 As foreshadowed I've moved the site's generator over to Eleventy, so I now have no excuse not to write more.
  5. Switching to Jekyll 8th of July 2020 I just switched this site over to Jekyll. If you'd visited this site early yesterday evening then you wouldn't have noticed a single change — and that was my goal.
  6. Perfect is the enemy of good 17th of January 2020 Launching boldwise.co.uk taught me that progress beats perfection, and that a good site can grow into something better once it finally exists.
