I'm a Christian, a physicist, a worshipper, a gamer, a husband and a father.
I’ve spent most of today moving my website to a new host, and while I was doing it I wanted to add a dark mode.
It took quite a lot of fiddling around, but now I’ve got the site to automatically switch between light and dark mode based on the OS mode. I use macOS, and it automatically switches to dark mode at night-time. Now my website switches along with it!
It’s time for another new website! I hope you like the new look.
The move was kind of forced on me, as Tumblr is no longer working in China, so my old website (which relied a lot on Tumblr’s servers) was looking rather sad. Starting my new job, I’ve been linking to my website from a number of professional sites, so I wanted it to work properly again.
I’ve moved from Tumblr to WordPress, and I’m very pleased with the new look. There are sure to be a few teething problems, but overall it’s been quite a smooth migration process. There are a few headaches with images embedded in the blog posts though.
Take a look around and let me know what you think!
Every now and again I think I really should get back into microblogging, but I can never think of anything to say.
so I was meant to be keeping a passivity journal. sadly I’ve been too passive..
so here it is. today I have read my bible and I’m going to help out at church with the computers and go into college for my viva, which is scary. then fairy and I are going rock climbing!
in general a good day. I do need to pray and maybe write in my prayer journal, then I’d have done all the things I’m meant to do in a day!
so this is the start of a new year. i’m looking forward to it very much, hopefully getting stuck into my phd and hopefully church will keep moving forward and getting more and more exciting. this year is a year of HOPE across the country, which is a great mission, aiming to bring hope to many people who are in need.
God spoke to me on sunday about priorities. the passivity issue is effectively just an issue of having incorrect priorities. i dislike the whole “new year’s resolution” thing because it seems a little contrived, but the new year is at least as good a time as any to start something new. i’m going to keep a private prayer journal as well as a public blog, so i can look back over it and see how God has answered my prayers. i’ve done it before and was amazed by the experience, so i’m now going to make it a priority.
so here’s me playing with iWeb ’08. in general i don’t like web design software because it generates messy code and uses loads of images and stuff, but this is so easy to use and nice looking, i may have to keep using it!
we’ll see how it goes.

note: i haven’t managed to set up syndication on my blog without creating a whole new user, so this is a copy and paste job at the mo!
gosh, it’s a long time since i posted!
