Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 02/10/2026A quarter of the draft done now. All of it written in the magical @gladlib.bsky.social 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Been going to Gladstone's Library again every morning since last week. It's an incredible building that makes me feel 10x cleverer than I am, and like I'm going to Oxford University n that. I've written actual words and some of them aren't shit. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Back in Notion again for book planning/tracking for some reason. One day I'll settle on something and just use that. What do other people use? I probably overthink everything as usual. Whiteboards, post-its, megabrains, tea leaves? 100
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 09/08/2026This year I've had one of the worst creative blocks of my life. But today I managed to get to a bit I've been thinking about for months. Onwards and downwards. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 01/07/2026In my spare time I've been working on a planetary terrain renderer for some mythical low-poly game I'll never make. This is what I have after a couple of weeks of reading research papers and pecking at a keyboard. 111
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Stone circle and radio mast. Raise all antennae. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Clovelly in Devon. A village nestled within a very steep cove. Saw some dolphins in the harbour, scroffled three dogs, but the walk back up to the top of the village very nearly killed me. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Currently reading: The Dark Between the Trees by Fiona Barnett. Five women enter an English wood where a group of parliamentarian soldiers disappeared nearly 400 years ago. "Outside, the leaves of the gigantic oak tree that linked them to the past rustled in the ghost of a breeze." 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Found a thing called Strudel today, which is a programming language for music and synths. So I made some crappy techno or something. It's pretty cool, but I don't think I could be arsed to do it full time, nothing beats the immediacy of plucking a string. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Nature's tidy-uppers. A horse had a haircut outside today, and the jackdaws bloody love it. Look at their little hairy beaks. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 04/05/2026The Great Unclean One (in need of a good dusting). 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Started a new Skin Imps album today. The rough start to a long road. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Just spotted the first swallow of spring. It always amazes me that they make it all the way back here. Not sure where this particular group come from, but I bet the flight is proper knackering. 031
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 26/03/2026I think there needs be a reassessment of Comic Sans. I changed the main font of my operating system to it, and I don't hate it. I also think it sits very well with death metal. 121
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. Here's my super productivity setup for 2026. A local-first note-taking app, with deep versioning history, fast index-based data storage, and assistant powered by bovine intelligence. 030
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Finger's crossed Notion's new AI agents can export all my data and delete my account for me. 020
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Foolishly decided to install Windows on my PC yesterday to see if things have improved. What an absolute shower of shite. Back on Fedora today. 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Just off to rewatch Threads to take my mind of things. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 17/02/2026My dad passed away on Sunday, so here's a few pictures as a tribute. Edward "Terry" Wilson, champion jockey, 1936-2026. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 12/02/2026The plot of my current work-in-progress. Sure, it looks pretty now... but wait until the wheels fly off and it all explodes in my stupid face. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Working on a Vulkan renderer at work today, and you no idea just how long and how much code it took to get this triangle to show up. This is it lads, down tools, take the rest of the day off. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 09/01/2026This weeks hyperfixation has been vintage Casio calculators (thanks brain). Particularly their product catalogues. I love a good catalogue (who doesn't?), but look at the buttons on this, blimey. Max Headroom approved. 020
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Christmas finally comes to North Wales on the only day I needed to drive somewhere. 040
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Excellent book haul this chrimbo. New (old) Jeff Noon, 2 different versions of 1984, ghosts, stone circles, Nigerian SF. What have I chosen to read? None of them, Day of the Triffids for some reason. What are you reading now? 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Squiggle on a quick break before heading back to the office. Them accounts aren't going to tabulate themselves. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 11/12/2025The time is rapidly approaching to get these bangers back in the eyeballs. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Came across of 4000 year old burial mound while out for a walk. 020
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 25/09/2025The extent of my prep for writing this book... 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 25/09/2025A little visitor dropped by my office this morning. 020
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 11/09/2025There's quite a few pubs and taverns featured in various Hammer films. Also, there's a Wetherspoon's in Whitstable called The Peter Cushing. 080
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 04/09/2025It's September, 12 degrees and raining. Mr. Freeze doesn't give a shit, look at him laughing. Now I am become death, he says. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 31/08/2025What perfect album came out when you were sixteen? 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Just got rejected for a job by some bullshit AI filtering system. Is that even legal in the UK? Anyway, here was my reply email. Fuck these companies. 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 24/08/2025Caernarfon Castle. Built in the 13th Century by Edward I. Couldn't be arsed going in as it was full, instead got accosted by a man trying to unload a "found child" onto me for some kind of TikTok japery. 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 22/08/2025Castle No.6 is Dinas Brân. Built in the 13th Century on the site of an Iron Age fort of about 600BC. Absolutely cream crackering hike to the top for this fat chimp, but the views are worth it. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 17/08/2025In our quest to visit every Welsh border castle, we reach No. 5, Powis. Book shop was below average, but the dog count is high and they have cream teas. Also, deer. 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Stupid age verification kicked in just as I got a new direct message. So now I have a message I'll never read and a notification that I'll never be able to clear. My brain is itching. 100
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Ok, it's officially too hot now, this is getting silly. Ideally I'd like to see a drop of at least 25 degrees by tomorrow. 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 27/06/2025Finally started on a new book today. Word count 112. Low number even for me, but I've been battling the worst case of task initiation paralysis I've ever had, that felt like a physical wall. Told myself, just write 1 word, wrote 111 more. Let's see what happens tomorrow. Setting for chapter one: 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Good afternoon, from the Song Thrush that lives in the tree outside my office, and shouts at the world. All day. Every day. 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 16/05/2025A video game I was working on, until I wasn't. Maybe one day I'll finish it. 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Picked up the Vurt role-playing game book recently, and the illustrations are so good. Makes me lament the demise of the film. Something animated would have been incredible. 000
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 16/05/2025A bright portal at the exit of the dark wood. Caution: may contain dog's eggs. 010
Colin Wilson @asterpoolfalls.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Share the last 4 games you've played and expose your gaming habits. 010
