Personal projects
Sites I build and run for their own sake.
-
parishes.uk
One page per village, with trains, bins, the river, the weather and anything in force today, all computed from live sources, so nothing on it needs a volunteer to keep it up to date.
-
latexallergy.info
Latex allergy explained for the people around someone who has it: the party host, the school, the employer, the restaurant. Short handover sheets to print and pass on, each backed by referenced pages.
-
shogun.info
A short history of the shogun: where the word comes from, each period from the first commissions to the end of the office, and James Clavell's novel with its 1980 and 2024 television series. Every Japanese word comes with help saying it.
-
theyetties.com
The website of The Yetties, the Dorset folk group from Yetminster: their story in Bonny Sartin's words, with their recordings, notes on the songs they sang, their newsletters and their photographs.
-
chetnole.com
An unofficial village noticeboard for Chetnole in west Dorset, for the things people look up in a hurry: how the request stop works, what to do when the Wriggle rises, and who to ring. Live trains and river levels are on its parishes.uk page.

git.guide
Nine plain English git guides for people with a live website to worry about, and a free check for one specific leak: a website serving its own git repository, and with it the site's whole history, to anybody who asks.
-
ineedhelpwithhosting.com
Plain English hosting help for small businesses, for a website that is down, email that isn't arriving or a hacked WordPress site. A free domain health check, a bounce message explainer and an SPF record merger sit alongside the guides.
