When I first saw the title for Backyard Dungeon, I almost scrolled past. Then I saw the cover and stopped long enough to read the listing. To be clear, in-between science fiction epics and early 20th century detective novels. I enjoy a genre called LitRPG. It’s power fantasy with a game wrapper around it. It’s…
Atticus.io a few days later, not so shiny?
As you may know, I made the $174 purchase for the atticus.io app (https://atticus.io) and in my initial video was over all quite positive. Now, a few days in, I still think the purchase will prove its worth, but right now, at this very moment, the writing environment in the application is less than stellar….
My Scrivener 3 Windows Theme.
After 120k words, I became a little annoyed with the default colours of Scrivener, the Dark theme was a little too clinical and i wanted a little more. I tried a few themes from various placed around google and none of them took with me. I eventually loaded the one I hated the least and…
Writing update (for those who care)
I lost myself in on a star-ship called Basilica today. I intended to write for a couple of hours and ended up three chapters and seven hours deeper into my current project. For those new to this topic, I and currently writing the second in a multi-book series I had imagined called ‘Denouement’. I’m not…
Patreon! (update)

The dynamics of “better” – The masses vs the technical.
When people tell me that PeerTube is better than YouTube I raise my Bajoran eyebrow because to me, its wronger than a wrong pie on the tenth Tuesday of the month of wrongington, served at wrong-o’clock. But to them, it’s not wrong. You see, to the Free software user there are simply more factors to…
Writing workflow & hardware, a snapshot.
I was thinking about how much my writing workflow has changed between when I first started, and now. Even though right now, I assume that I have reached the sweet spot, I also think that there’s an excellent chance that in a year. So, here I document so that future generations may mock! (or me…
Book Club: The Kaiju Preservation Society – John Scalzi
Book Club: The Kaiju Preservation Society is the most fun thing I have read in a long time. It is literally joy, in the form of a book. John Scalzi himself writes a little letter to the readers at the end, and he refers to it as the book equivalent of a pop song. That…
What’s with Amazon book reviews?
I know this sounds like an odd question and more of a tweet/toot than a blog post, but seriously, what happens in people’s brains when they go to write an amazon book review? Most products have this sort of review “[Product] was excellent, delivered fast and works as described, would buy again.” – See nice,…
KeepSolid VPN Unlimited – Thoughts.
Many years ago I purchased a ‘Life-time’ subscription to Pure VPN. About an hour and a half after my purchase they were involved in something of a scandal when it was proven that they were not as secure as they may have been leading people to believe they were. I did the only thing I…
