  • Daily Five

    Daily Five

    For a good few years now, my mornings have typically started with a cup of coffee and Wordle. It makes for a nice, gentle introduction into the day.

    Some people like to start Wordle with the same word every day – adieu, audio, least, dealt – these are all common starter words. I’m not one of those people – I like a little more variety. For a while now, I’ve maintained a list of five letter words – adding more occasionally as the mood takes me, and then each day crossing off the next word from the list and using that as my starter word.

    But maintaining that manual list, that got a bit boring. So I wrote a thing – the Daily Five.

    It’s a little single-page site that gives you a word to use as your Wordle starter word. Everybody gets the same word each day – so if you want to challenge your friends, it gives you a common starting point. The word changes at midnight each day.

    Give it a whirl. Add a little randomness to your Wordle game.

  • Flickr Set Manager

    Flickr Set Manager

    Due to popular demand, my Flickr Set Manager has now returned. Much of the code was written an awfully long time ago, so I’ve done some fairly significant restructuring behind the scenes. It seems to be mostly behaving itself, but if you notice any problems, then either comment below, or message me on Flickr.

    You can find the set manager here, and in the Goodies menu at the top of the page.

  • data: URI generator

    When I decided to reboot this site the other day, I wanted to make a clean slate and start afresh. I intentionally didn’t want to carry forward any baggage.

    It turns out that people still use my data: URI generator, so I’ve decided to re-instate it here. It’s 12 years old now, but still works just fine. I’ve done a little tidying up, and now it lives on.

    You can find it in the Goodies menu at the top of the page, or by clicking here.
