I’ve been working on stat lines today for Claude Code. These are the little status updates that you can see at the bottom of Ghostty in the terminal, which gives you information about how your Claude Code usage is going. I’ve modified an existing one to match what works for me.

★The Odyssey was fantastic. I need to watch it again to digest it.
★It’s smoke season in Idaho. The only season I won’t run outside in. Bummed it arrived so soon. Hoping it doesn’t stay around.
★I sleep with a cubed pillow, a matress for my head.
★I want the Codex Micro. But it’s out of impulse buy territory.
★Not original, but I really wish em dashes weren’t an AI thing—I love using them.
★LinkedIn seriously has nothing good anymore. The notifications I get are all ads.
★What if I don’t have 750 words in me? Years ago I gave myself a challenge, to write 1,000 words a day, six days a week. I did that, more or less, for a few years. It was a wonderful experience, and gave me the necessary muscles to be able to put out words and challenge myself.
But some days I didn’t have it in me, so I would just journal; trashing words together like an ape on a keyboard.
Something I’ve often wondered, in the time since, is what I should do if I don’t have the minimum amount of words in me on a given day. Some days I combat that by getting it out. But lately, many days that’s meant not writing at all. I don’t love that. But I also don’t want to put out rubbish to people who pay attention with their time.
Enter this blog. I have lots of shorter thoughts I want to share on a daily basis; but many aren't processed enough to fit into a blog post, or worthy enough of an email blast. That's what this is for. It's my own replacement to Twitter of old. It will be an endless stream of consciousness, hopefully just a little better quality than my journal entries of old.
★Chatbots can be so helpful to explain the context of thigns that are outside our domain of expertise. Also, risks involved.
★There’s a future with building quality apps. Yes, everyone can do it themselves now. But maintaining? That’s hard.
★AI keeps giving me ideas, then when I go with them, it congratulates me on being so clever.
★Ghost CMS is fine. But I don’t love it. The whole UI inside isn’t simple, it feels outdated somehow, and too cumbersome. I’m tempted to switch to Bear blog, but also tempted to just move away from CMSes altogether.
★Been using Ghostty for all my Claude Code work. Today I wanted to try GPT Sol. It was easy to just turn it on inside Ghostty and test it on a project. It works great. Truly making the LLM a commodity.
★Tried Cloudflare Drop. It allows for quick uploading of html/css/js.
I use Netlify and love it. Nothing comes close to its speed and simplicity. Cloudflare might be a good competitor, eventually. Took 15 minutes to create the drop and claim it.
Kept running into issues.
