This Website
I’m still trying to get all of my current categories and tags sorted. I’m currently being guilty of trying to over-engineer the different post types using Custom post types and tying into posts with relationships — instead of just bloody writing posts.

I’m currently working on displaying my PlayStation trophies on this site. For this I will be building the following mini projects:
- A dedicated PSN Trophy importer
- A dedicated PSN API endpoint for me to use
- A WordPress plugin that will listen for the API to alert it to newly earned trophies and update accordingly.

This film is absolutely stunning for so many reasons — some of… - Doolittle
