Welcome to toodle.

Hi, I'm Matt. This site is essentially a collection of things I've clobbered together while toodling.

To toodle is to wander with a restless curiosity. It's how I write code, how I explore and live my life. There is no corporate manifesto here. Just a bunch of projects I've found interesting, the music that fueled the work, and the notes I've taken along the way.

It’s a bit messy, a bit random, and very much a work in progress. Just like a good Sunday walk.

Major Website Updates

Latest developments and exciting updates.

  • toodle Server Migration

    Toodle
    16 Feb 2026

    I've spent the last few weeks migrating the toodle network to a new server setup. From a cloud 4x core 16gb web and 8x core 32gb database, to a beast of a bare metal 64x core 128gb Proxmox server, all for roughly the same money. Peak CPU usage now barely hits 10% which will give us some headroom!

    Also toodle homepage tidy up. Tweaking the designs of the Websites Update timeline and Website Stats cards.

    • Hundreds of free video workouts led by professional instructors.
    • Search and filter to find classes suited to your level: from beginner to advanced.

    The Amazingly Fresh Deals section has been added to toodle! Featuring a live selection of products (mostly from Amazon) at potentially their lowest prices ever.

  • Launch of the Historic Pubs Map

    Toodle
    07 Aug 2025

    Which pub is actually the oldest in Britain? It's a hotly debated question with no definitive answer - until now.

    Last week I was curious and decided to make my own list. Combining data from Historic England and Google Places to create the Historic Map of the Oldest Pubs in the UK that are still operating.
