I’m cybrkyd and this is where I blog. I’m not really a kid by age; more of a perpetual kid at heart! This blog is a collection of tips and tricks and guides that have helped me and will hopefully help someone else. I will also offer my own random thoughts and opinions. A proud script kiddie, I enjoy having fun finding cool and efficient ways of doing stuff. I use Linux, love FOSS, and have a lot of play dates with Python, SQL, CSS, HTML, PHP, bash.

It’s been one of those weeks. I’m feeling the winter blues already and have this nagging pull to hibernate. I feel exhausted and have no motivation to do anything. And… it’s been raining for two days straight, making the short November...

I’m really into the solitaire card game Accordion. I play it from the Aisleriot card games collection, and I am utterly hooked. It is a very difficult game to complete but I’ve come to understand that the easiest shuffles to win are when...
