The Foundation Proclamation Oyez, oyez, oyez! The Foundation made a proclamation! Yesterday, after months of speculation, The Foundation made their proclamation. Fanboys and nerds waited with anticipation for the proclamation of consociation. We’ve settled on an association. And with this organization, we shall work...

Bleary eyes, but well rested, my slumber comes to an end. The Lexon Flip next to my bed sings its merry melody. A gentle caress from yours truly cuts its song short. Fingers fumble to find spectacles; what good they’ll do in the dark, I know not, but they give a (false) sense of clarity. Upright, I cautiously paw...

About a year ago I mentioned that I had rediscovered the Dillo Web Browser. Unlike some of my other hobbies, endeavours, and interests, my appreciation for Dillo has not wavered. I only have a moment to gush today, so I’ll cut right to it. Dillo has been plugging along nicely (see the Git forge.) and adding little...

There I was, sat on my couch the other day, when I came across a post on one of those link aggregation sites (linkhut). It was about knots this time. In particular, “Granny Knots”. I scrolled through the pictures and videos on the site and moved on to something else. My brain, though, wasn’t done with that site....

Yes please. And I get a game to play too? Sweet. A few games come to mind, but there can only be one. Should I take the game...

I’m wrapping everything this year! I wanted to write an entry on work. I could gush about how I like my job, and then also complain a bit about how generative AI is making parts of it annoying. But, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, I made a temporal heat map using dayplot: As you can see, I have a very good...

Guess who’s on vacation? For your bus stop reading pleasure, a continuation of my wrapped collection for 2025. This time, a quick listing of the games I played (or finished (or gave up on)) this year. As you can see, it was a year of older games with one of my favourites being a game from 1995. Highly Recommended...

Following yesterday’s post I decided that I should also mention a my favourite discoveries of the year that didn’t make it to my most-listened-to charts, as well as some other amazing releases that deserve attention. Gent1e $oul Gent1e $oul makes bass music. There is a little dubstep (not brostep) and garage in...

This page references my ListenBrainz Profile and my favourite albums page. With the year winding down, it is time to talk tunes. That seems to be the trend at least. I have never used a music streaming service, but I did use Last.fm until August 2020 before importing everything to ListenBrainz. I have no way of...

Down to the big box store we go. Not planning on buying, just browsiiiiiinnn… What’s this? What’s this? There in the bargain bin What’s this? It’s 30% off What’s this? I can’t believe my eyes I must be dreaming, wake up, Bob, this price is fair What’s this? That’s how I bought Guilty Gear -STRIVE-. This is my...

I’ll keep this as brief and point-form as possible. 14 people answered my survey, which is more than I expected but also not that many. I am very happy, though, and if you are reading this and answered the survey, thank you so very much for the time you took to click on some boxes and write a few words of...
