Welcome to Bytes & Bobs. The content will probably be tech-focussed (bytes), but may also contain anything else that I find interesting (bobs). My intention is to write when I have something to say or record - this may not be particularly regular, but hopefully will be somewhat interesting or useful when I do.
It is powered by Hugo and all the pages are written in Markdown for simplicity and portability (I get bored easily…). I’m just learning it, so as I find solutions when I get stuck, I’ll document them here.
Site updates
- 2026-10
- Migrated to Hugo. Posts moved to /posts (i.e. /some-post is now /posts/some-post). I’ve set up redirects so there shouldn’t be 404s, aside from the now removed (and empty) projects page.
- 2026-05
- Updated links.
- 2024-08
- Updated Zola to v0.19.x. Needed to change
generate_feed = truetogenerate_feeds = truein config.toml for the site to build. Also had to remove adatefield from a section - it was never usable in templates so technically shouldn’t have been there anyway. Thanks to the Zola folks for writing a detailed changelog!
- Updated Zola to v0.19.x. Needed to change

- Changed “Feed Me” link to “Atom/RSS” because it looked too much like a Patreon-type nag (it wasn’t - it was always an atom.xml link).
- Fixed dark theme blockquote CSS
- Contact/open invitation page
- Links page
