My second month in training for 2025 London Marathon is completed. Here are some highlights and thoughts from last month.

Keystatic is an capable yet relatively simple content management system that nicely integrates with Astro, my favourite static site generator / web framework. This guide will show you how to get started with Astro and Keystatic.

An update on how the training for the London Marathon is going after, now that January is over and I'm almost at ⅓ of the training plan.

A quick recap of the year 2024, highlighting some of the personal and professional achievements, travel experiences, photography and running.

A small update with few reflections and photos from the past month.

Handling file downloads is a common requirement in web apps, whether it’s for exporting data as CSVs or generating PDF reports. Recently, I developed a feature that enables users to download files after specific interactions, like clicking a button to generate a report. In this article, I’ll explore practical approaches to implementing file downloads in Remix.

Its been a while since I posted some personal updates. We're in the middle of summer, so I thought it would be a good time to share some of what's been going on lately.

I recently added a photo gallery to my site, and Astro is a perfect tool for this task. In this article, I'll show you how to build a photo gallery in a few simple steps.

In my last trip to Tenerife, I've spent a few nights capturing the night sky. I promised in my previos story that I'll share more photos from that night, so here they are.

Last year in December, I had a chance to travel to Tenerife for about a week. It's my 3rd visit to this place, and I still find this place fascinating. I had no particular plans for this trip, so I just went with the flow and explored the island.

For the last 4 years, Gatsby has been the engine behind this blog. But from today onwards, you're browsing a page built with Astro, a web framework that powers fast content sites. Here's why I decided to move away from Gatsby and what I like about Astro.

Earlier in August, I had the pleasure of spending a week-long vacation in Windermere. With group of friends we've enjoyed time off, exploring this area of Lake District. It was a relaxing break and an opportunity to visit some new places.

While organising my photos library, I found some photos from a trip to Peak District I did some time ago last year. I realised I never published them, and since I immensely enjoyed the views there, I hope you may too.

The Seven Sisters Walk in Sussex is one of the most picturesque ones you can find near London. It stretches from Seaford to Eastbourne, traversing a spectacular coastal path that offers magnificent views of the chalk sea cliffs on the English Channel coast.

A week ago, with a group of hiking friends, we went for a short getaway to Cheddar Gorge. This photo story is a record from a delightful weekend we spent there, visiting the gorge and some areas around.

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to spend a few days travelling around the southwest of England. I'd been awaiting this trip for quite some time, as it was the first getaway for this season.

Last weekend, Sunday, I strolled on yet another casual hike hosted by the Outdooraholics group. Wandering through the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offered an experience of surrounding woodlands and some great, panoramic views from the hills.

I recently had the opportunity to visit India for two weeks in October. It was my first time travelling to Asia. I didn't know what to expect, but I was excited to explore a new country, experience new things and visit new places.

Richmond Park is one of my favourite places in London. And it's funny when you think about it because when you're there, you feel like you're actually far away from the big city.

Last month, in October, I visited India for the first time. One of the main highlights of this journey was a 4-day long trek in Himalayas Mountains on the trail called Hampta Pass.

Summer is not officially over yet, and I've managed to salvage last sunny weekend to again join Outdooraholics for another hike. Navigating paths at the border of East Sussex and Kent counties, I enjoyed the green and calm atmosphere of woods and stunning crags of Harrison's Rocks.

Seeing rain predictions for upcoming days, I feared of possibility that the last warm weekend of summer was just passing by! So, almost at the last minute joined the Seven Sister hike on the sunny, southern coast of Britain.

Just a week later, after my last hike, I joined another one with the Outdooraholics group. This time the hike called for exploration of Hertfordshire: a walk through the western area of Hitchin and the North Easterly ridge of Chiltern Hill.
