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…
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…
A new host, already!
Recently, I went from having a minimalist website to suddenly being HexDSL, WordPress user! It was quite an event. I migrated from hexdsl.co.uk to hexdsl.com, hosted by NameCheap via EasyWP. Well, while all that was excellent and I was happy the renewal that would be due in a year worried me, not a lot, but…
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…
Aeon Timeline – How useful did it turn out to be?
I am currently working on a science fiction story that is planned to span three or four books. It has been a lot of fun to write so far (the first book is in the editing oven, the second one is half drafted. More on this in June). Because of this, I’m using Aeon Timeline…
Scrivener doesn’t do it all, an annoying missing feature!
Scrivener is a wonderful application, so much so that it’s becoming more and more, simply the default for me whenever I need to order thoughts in the form of words. Though, with my current workflow I tend to write mostly in Microsoft Word, then transplant the finished product to Scrivener where I’ll tweak, tinker and…
