It's been a while since I read a Stephen King book. So when I started on The Green Mile I forgot the golden rule of reading Stephen King: never read the introduction. He spoils the story every time.

First time at Rock and Roll Circus and it delivered on both the rock and the circus.

Wunderhorse and Gurriers were great as expected. Bleech 9:3 were good but would be a lot better at a smaller venue. Very surprised by Westside Cowboy and Fatdog, I've had both their albums on repeat since. And the less said about Baxter Dury the better..

I just watched video from a Spanish guy titled Is English Cuisine the Worst in the World? and the answer from the Spanish people in the comments was: 100% yes. I think they'd answer differently if they tried this British tapas I had recently:

Rough way to go out after a generally positive tournament. Despite going full Southgate for the last 25 minutes I think Tuchel has been a good change and should stay. Might just have a rough ride with the press and pundits for the next few weeks..

We're setup for a good final at least, ¡Vamos, España!

The new version of this site is live!

I have moved away from Astro in favour of statically generating the files myself using Go. I re-designed the site based on the idea of a field notebook, taking inspiration from this essay on imagining your site as a physical object or place.

I love Mexican food and living in London I am spoilt for Mexican restaurants. Michelin Mexican restaurants, Mexican street vendors, and everything in between.

I have been to 5 of the 'in-between' places and here is my ranking:

  1. Corrochios - Great atmosphere, authentic food
  2. La Chingada - Our local, super chilled
  3. Tacos El Pastor - Stylish, pricey
  4. Jalisco - Unmatched burritos
  5. Mestizo - Upmarket, creative menu

An issue I've had switching to Aerospace is that typing # (on a mac) causes me to switch to workspace 3:

Toml.aerospace.toml
[mode.main.binding]
alt-3 = 'workspace 3'

A fix I came across was to define an empty binding mode. When switching to a new binding mode, all the previous bindings are disabled in favour of the new bindings, allowing me to type #.

To get this working I mapped Option + Backspace in the main and new mode to toggle between them:

Toml.aerospace.toml
[mode.main.binding]
alt-backspace = 'mode hash'
[mode.hash.binding]
alt-backspace = 'mode main'

I think this is currently the best solution but it would be nice to map the left and right modifier keys separately.
