This is my current adventure into a category I call “Its trash I read to relax”. It has replaced the unfortunate Emerillia series for me. I was first attracted to this title because I once saw it on sale on Kindle for about 1p or something crazy. I remember picking it up and thinking “I’ll…
Back on DWM.
Those of you who hang out in my Discord server may have noticed recent chatter about DWM. I have recently made the switch back to DWM after a long old time on BSPWM. Before I talk about this topic I need to address the elephant. Many people have said that the ‘Suckless’ project are have…
The most interesting Computer crash I have ever had.
A computer can crash. It happens a lot and takes many forms. Sometimes the application freezes, sometimes the desktop environment freezes. Sometimes its X that freezes and some times its just bloody well locked up. When this happens the motivated and technically savvy users will try and get a handle of what has crashed, why…
My favorite writers.
I was thinking about writers the other day. There are a lot of books I really enjoy but there are not that many writers who I really enjoy consistently. For instance, I love the book ‘Neuromancer’ but don’t consider William Gibson to be one of my favourite writers. He is an interesting person for sure but is…
Minecraft Dungeons Via XCloud (Gamepass)
I played through Minecraft Dungeons when it first game out but I played it on the ?Ninendo switch. Now I’m playing it again but this time multiplayer with a friend on my PC, from Linux. But I’m using Microsoft Xcloud (part of Gamepass) to do it. I know its a stretch to call that ‘on…
Book Club: The Iliad by Homer.
I don’t have the classical education required to actually write a review of the Iliad. I’ll be honest, while I enjoyed it a great deal I’m pretty sure that I missed a lot of smart culturally loaded stuff that would have made it way better. I don’t have very much in the way of interest…
Book Club: Komi Can’t communicate (Manga series)
I have recently been reading thought the delightful “Komi Can’t Communicate” a 13 volume manga about a young woman in school who had a serious communication disorder. She is quite literally unable to form sentences around people outside of her family, and even around them its usually a couple of words. Upon starting a new…
Science Fiction and Over tailored characters. A pointless musing.
I read a lot, not as much as some people but a book-a-week when I’m in a reading mood. I read a lot of classic (old) science fiction. I also read more comics than an adult probably should. I have also written a long form work of fiction that’s currently being edited by a friend….
Debian: Final Destination?
As I have said in many videos and Trendy Talk Episodes (stay punk!) I regretted installing Endeavor-OS when my Arch install died due to a series of unfortunate events. I should have moved to Debian here and then. This remained true for months until, this week when I ran ‘yay’ to be greeted with ten…
Book Club: Fangs by Sarah Andersen.
I think this maybe the first “comic” book that I have written about in the book-club section of the website. Fangs started life as a web-comic on a website that everyone except me has heard of called Tapas.io. Fangs is about a vampire and a werewolf who date. It’s light hearted and far deeper than…
