TIL copy all tabs in iOS safari. On mac, I have a nice wee AppleScript that copies to the clipboard links to all my open tabs in Safari’s top window. I’ve always been a bit frustrated that I couldn’t do the same on iOS. But I can. Tab view then the ellipsis at the top right, copy n tabs.
I made a tiny pixel character creator called Pixabots. It generates 10,752 unique combinations from four categories — eyes, heads, bodies, and tops — all bouncing on a little idle loop.
This pack is a curated 2,000 of them, ready to use. Free.
Not sure where I saw this, there is a live editor at Pixabots — Pixel Character Avatars which is fun. Could be useful in class I think. Perhaps in Scratch when an uploaded gif is turned into a sprite with a costume for each frame.
Walk round Ardinning this afternoon. Cuckoos calling. Willow warblers & ravens heard. Corn bunting & stonechats seen & heard. Warm & breezy plenty of butterflies, mostly Orange Tips & Green-Veined whites, a Painted Lady. A few small red damselflies didn’t stay still although one landed on D’s hat.
Victoria Park this afternoon sunny and very warm. In a sheltered spot near fossil grove we watched 2 Speckled Woods spiral, jousting up and around for quite a while. A Red Admiral and a coupe of orange tip butterflies around too.
Ardinning this afternoon. Very sunny & bright. A few butterflies, mostly peacocks & some orange tips. A couple of peacocks spiralled up high. Cuckoos calling. At the bench beside the loch we heard a big splash. Looking round through the bushes we saw an osprey come out of the water & fly off.
Short walk on the Kilpatrick Braes this afternoon. Warmest day of the year so far. Quite a few butterflies, peacocks and Orange Tips around. Lots of wee flowers. The usual suspects singing in the trees, a grouse & stonechat on the moor. Larks singing. #bloomscrolling #bloomstrolling
Took the short walk to Greenside reservoir this morning. Lots of spring happening, bird song, especially chiffchaff & willow warbler. Heard blackcaps (confirmed with merlin) and finally saw some. A cuckoo calling, the first this year. A few butterflies around including one small tortoiseshell.
Walk in the rain round the short Kilpatrick loop this morning. Lots of birds singing mostly out of sight. Tree pipets in good voice, & displaying in the trees at the edge of the moor. Blackthorn fully out, trees starting to bud. Flowers hanging their heads in the drizzle.
Kilpatrick Braes, the blackthorn here still in bud, later than others places I’ve been recently. Warm & sunny with a bit of a breeze. Few bumble bees out exploring the ground. Several butterflies, probably peacocks, rushed by. Lots of birds singing. Heard a green woodpecker a few times. Chiffchaffs mostly heard but saw a couple. More primroses opening, some mouse-ear cress. Larch starting to green & buds on a chestnut at the edge of the heather.
Rather a blurry photo, but the first peacock butterfly of the year for me. Saw quite a few on the Greenside Reservoir track this afternoon. A warm day, bumble bees flying.
An afternoon walk round the Kilpatrick braes yesterday. Warm and sunny, occasionally clouding over.Egrets, Opposite-leaved golden-saxifrage, lesser celandine, the first primroses of 2026. 5 ravens flew low and fast overhead two pairs twisting together wings loud. A few stonechats on the Muir.
With my.WordPress.net, WordPress runs entirely and persistently in your browser. There’s no sign-up, no hosting plan, and no domain decision standing between you and getting started.
My WordPress is an interesting development. It allows you to have a totally private WordPress site in your browser. You could use this to test, develop or just play around with WordPress. It also looks like it could be used for developing an app just for yourself, or perhaps to export & share. There are a couple (via plugins) than can easily be installed, including an RSS ‘reader’. Everything is stored in the browser, limited to 100mb. I was surprised as I thought local storage was much smaller than that? I wonder where it is stored.
There seems to be ways to back up or transfer to a live site.
The obvious frustration might be if you make something useful it will be only on one device/browser but that might be balanced by the privacy.
It only takes a few seconds to set up the site and it feels fast.
Looks like I have access to all the files. I tested this by adding a shortcode to the functions.php and it just worked!
I could also edit the Hello Dolly plugin, replacing the lyrics with the ones from Subterranean Homesick
Blues.
RSS
One of the Apps you can install is an RSS reader. This is the Friends plugin. I have briefly tried this before, but I think this is an opportunity to give it good test. I easily added a feed or tow. It did not work with scripting.com, I presume due to it being severed via http not https?
AI
Another suggested ‘apps’ is AI which allows you to connect to an AI if you have a key. I do not pay for any AI so do not have a key. By chance I installed Ollama yesterday, a local AI, I am not sure what I am doing just following Miguel Guhlin’s notes.
I spent quite a lot of time messing about with this and failing, I think because Safari is so uptight about mixed content. I did get it working in Firefox, but running into this problem means I can’t do anything yet.
So I think I’ll leave the AI assistant alone for the moment and play with other things.
Other Things & Thinks
I am slowly thinking about how I could use this in a useful, or fun way.
Trying things out that I do not want to risk on a ‘real’ site and don’t want to set up a whole WordPress for.
Learning, especially quick tests & tries, themes, snippets, css etc.
‘Apps’ that look interesting, but I don’t want to be public.
AI integration with WordPress. I’ve been experimenting with Telex a bit, wondering it will be incorporated in this.
I am sure there are more. The limits, at the moment, seem to be one site per device/browser. For little things this could be easily worked around using the offer:
Want multiple Playgrounds? Open temporary instances that reset on refresh.
More…
According to Matt Mullenweg there is a lot more in the works
Next up, we’re going to add peer-to-peer sync, version control integration, and cloud publishing so other people can access it.
and
Today, everyone gets a phone number and email when they grow up. That will expand in the future, everyone will have a domain and a WordPress. A part of the internet that you own.
A nice walk round the Ardmore peninsula yesterday, quite windy, low clouds & dull. I’ve updated the script that makes the photo & map grids to show the gpx track as well as the picture positions, pleased with that.
Walk round the Glen Douglas trio on Thursday. Glorious day. blue sky & touch of frost. Very quite a few skylarks singing & the first frog spawn I’ve seen. walkmap with photos & notes..
