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…

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,…
YouTube, website and more – Updates.
Now I realise that I probably (definitely do) think about things more than required. For instance, I think about this website way more than I should, given that since I started checking hits, I’m getting about a hundred a day. One thing about this website that I consider is that perhaps I should post here…
Music (have a playlist link)
I like a specific kind of Synthwave, also I like modern music that sounds like it could have been made in the 80’s. Below is a playlist of “that kind of stuff” My most listened too artists include Sunglasses Kid, Primo and, of course, the Midnight. I have this playlist that my daughter and I…
New domain. New website. New me!
I have no way of knowing if you ended up here because you visited hexdsl.co.uk or because you went to hexdsl.com. Actually, you may have clicked a link and have no idea how you got here. It’s your business and it should stay that way. You may however have noticed that you have landed on…

These last few days I’ve been having some meandering thoughts about how nice people are. These thoughts don’t quite make up an entire post. So I thought I would write a post… I don’t think I make big enough woots about all the cool things people send to me. Since talking about my Amazon wishlist…
10,000 is a big number.
Punk as all Hex! It is true that there are YouTubers with one or two more subscribers than me. It is also true that there are YouTubers with one or two more than that. I have today hit 10,000 Subscribers and while arbitrary it feels strangely “nice.” I have been addressing the population of earth…
Keeping a Beat
I have recently been introduced to “Swatch Internet time” a time keeping system thought up by Swatch (the wrist watch people) as part of a strange advertising campaign linked to the Nation.1 Project. The Nation.1 project was another terrible idea that may or may not have been some kind of odd marketing company’s nefarious workings….
Why is everything so damned good
Content warning: this is a pointless ramble The biggest problem I face with my entertainment is that is TOO damned good! Here are the plates I’m currently spinning… (Things I’m trying to find time for) Video All those CW DC shows (CW) Lucifer (Netflix) More Star Trek TOS, that I never stop watching. My Yearly…
Capitalism stole reference culture
A Critique of Retro Gaming or Shut up and play something in colour. Nerds like to reference things. When I was a kid, we would desperately try to work lines from Movies into conversations. The moment we got it out of our lips we would grin like idiots and look around seeing it anyone noticed. They always…
