Welcome in
Notes, rambles and half-finished projects
PinkCrab Mock is a personal blog about the things that fill my evenings and weekends: tinkering with code, digging through record shops, cooking things that do not always work, and getting muddy outdoors.
New posts go up most weeks. Some are tidy, most are honest.
What you will find here
- Tech and code: home labs, Raspberry Pi builds and PHP scripts I should have deleted years ago.
- Music: Saturday vinyl hunts and late-night listening.
- Food and drink: scones, espresso and other kitchen battles.
- Outdoors: muddy runs, wrong turns and the allotment.
