008 · 2026-08-14 Giving every AI agent its own disposable workspace Most of my projects now have multiple Claude Code sessions on the go at once. Git worktrees cover the code side of that nicely, but a worktree on its own isn't a runnable app. Each session really wants an entirely isolated environment: its own copy of the database (one agent running migrate:fresh sh...

007 · 2026-08-13 Scheduling unattended Claude Code sessions with launchd There are a couple of recurring chores that Claude Code handles well end to end for me, triaging the last 48 hours of production errors and doing a weekly dependency update pass, but they only happened when I remembered to kick them off.

006 · 2026-08-11 Pasting screenshots into Claude Code on Linux On a new Ubuntu laptop (26.04, GNOME on Wayland), pasting a screenshot into Claude Code with Ctrl+V did nothing at all. No error, no hint, just nothing. For the first week I assumed image paste wasn't supported on Linux and kept dragging files in from the Screenshots folder instead. Turns out Claude...

003 · 2026-03-29 Ringing tone cadence of UK landlines Recently helped my parents leave Virgin Media by porting over their landline to a VoIP provider, so now they can switch internet provider without worrying about porting/losing their long-term landline number. Hardware wise opted for a Grandstream HT801 VoIP Adapter. After some fiddling with the adap...

002 · 2026-03-23 Trying out Laravel Cloud for production I've been hyped for the past year about Laravel Cloud. I migrated most of my own personal stuff to it and recently had been hoping to migrate a client's project to it. Was mostly looking forward to us having preview environments for each PR, especially as we move towards more and more code being gen...

001 · 2026-02-07 Hello World The start of publishing some random thoughts, notes and guides. Mostly for me, as I find writing helps shake the rust off, but maybe something I write will be useful to someone else. The rest of this post serves as a style guide and test entry for the markdown renderer. Heading (first level) This is...
