iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Mat @okwithmydecay.en.osm.town.ap.brid.gy · 13/10/2026

Currently in the midst of consolidating my digital music collection. I've slowly been working my way through the archive of my Google Play Music library, tagging it with Picard by @musicbrainz, and now I'm using @beets to combine it with my existing collection without introducing duplicates.

What’s with all the spilled paint everywhere in #LondonUK at the moment? Seeing it all over the place. Bunch of parked cars covered in white paint over in Lewisham, feel sorry for the owners having to deal with that

It's not every Sunday that I'm blessed with such a scenic running route! 🌳🍂🌊😍 Today's long run took me along The Waggonway, followed the Seaton Burn River, and finished alongside the incredible Northumberland coastline. #Northumberland #running #silentSunday

Always a pleasure seeing Bill Callahan perform live, particularly when he plays a two hour long set. Given his vast back catalogue, he could have easily played for another two hours. #BillCallahan #London #musicPhotography

I have a long neglected side project that relies on the Strava API.

I am surprised that many websites don't have a Content Security Policy, despite it being such a simple way to guard against cross-site scripting attacks. However to be fair, I didn't start using it until recently, even though it has being available across all browsers since 2016.
