This website - Astro, Markdown, Milkdown and some CSS.

Note

Claude Opus 5 wrote all the code, under my direction, and I judged the results in the browser. Research / Plan / Implement loop. I didn’t use any other AI tools. Claude drafted this page from the project’s notes and my answers and then I rewrote it. Claude created the cover image as well.

FleshAndBones Rockbox Theme

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 22:00:00 GMT

A rather minimal Rockbox theme for the iPod, 5th to 7th generation.

Note

Theme itself: I used AI to help me understand the Rockbox theme syntax, then wrote it (and painfully tested) by hand.

Other: AI drafted this page from my README and the Rockbox themes page, then I rewrote it. AI generated the cover image. AI was also used to write alt text for the screenshots.

TRMNL mini

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 23:00:00 GMT

A DIY mini TRMNL: 4.26" 800x480 e-ink, battery powered, in a 3D printed case.

Note

AI was not used at all in creation of TRMNL mini, apart from the recent firmware commits in the repo - I used AI to set it up so my changes overlay on top of my fork of the firmware.

AI drafted this page from the README in the github repo (mostly 1:1), after which I edited it. AI also created the alt text for images.
