It's been long since I did this run and I originally wrote the bulk of this post in the week after, but recovery was tough and I lost the drive to continue writing after a couple of weeks. Having looked at this draft every time I log in, I figure

I've previously written my year-in-review for my twenty-third [https://daniellockyer.com/twenty-three] and twenty-fourth [https://daniellockyer.com/twenty-four/] birthdays. And now for another!

I was recently adding a bunch of files to a new Git repo, but I couldn't be sure if I was about to commit a 100MB file. The following bash command should print out a sorted list of unstaged files and their size, so you can check if you are

Towards the end of March, my uncle sent our triathlon group a challenge he was thinking of doing; dubbed the "1000 challenge". There weren't any specifics and I assumed he was talking about 1000km of cycling. I called him later that day to ask him about it and he clarified

I recently managed to get a 4iiii Precision left-only crank power meter. I fitted it and did a 40 minute indoor session. I have a dumb trainer, but I've found the power curve online. It was showing that I could expect ~200W for 30km/h on a certain setting. Instead,

I've been using GitHub Actions more and more across the projects I maintain. It's a great offering and integrates well into GitHub. There are a few Rust projects I have where I wanted to automate the publishing of prebuilt binaries to the GitHub releases page. I've seen others do it

I was recently talking to my uncle about the sort of achievements that would be good to achieve as a semi-competitive age-grouper. That is, you're not new to the sport, but also not in an elite category. In the end, we decided a time 1.5x slower than the elite
