People look at you differently once they know you’ve hurt yourself badly enough that some part of it can never be undone. Even when everything has healed and you’re doing better, there’s sometimes this hesitation that wasn’t there before, like they’re still waiting to see whether something is wrong, I understand...
Monday Lunchtime TickingNever the best day for visiting pubs, but I don't do too badly in Sedgley. I was here on the trail of a Victorian Widow (read on, if interested) but in the back of my mind, I knew there was another Sedgley item on my Google Calendar To Do List.Nine available but as stated, it's Monday. Wallet...
Under no circumstances should grass in England crunch and crackle when you walk on it. And yet, in officially drought-ridden Hastings, that is exactly what much of the grass on and around the Pilot Field now does. Credit to the staff and volunteers who managed to create something approaching a pitch but, Christ,...
ArcBrush editing a texture through a node graph ArcBrush is a native C++ node-based image editor for Windows, macOS and Linux, built around reusable, non-destructive processing graphs.

Vanya on 42nd Street is, to date, my favorite film of the year. The more I revisit it, the more I suspect it might be one of my favorites of all time.

Everything is warm: the late afternoon sun, the mustard armchairs, the dark wooden panels along the walls. I'm three teas deep and have a few...
Some lovely bits from Sophie Alpert: Spending time on the writing process — on deciding what to emphasize and how to structure your ideas clearly — teaches you more about your topic. If you circumvent this process, you will probably walk away with a poorer understanding of the subject matter. In Most docs are...
This Iron Age broch in Sutherland is one of the most isolated places we've ever visited
I've been on Brave for a looong ass time and I love it. Same with KDE (I used to use Arch, btw, but now I just use Kubuntu). KRunner is the best thing in KDE. Alt+Space, three letters, enter, done. Except fucking bookmarks. KDE ships a KRunner plugin that searches your browser bookmarks. It's on by default. It has...
1. Oh damn, you caught me in the middle of something. I was just trying to make a list of Windows versions for a friend – in Google Docs, of all things. Should be easy. I already grabbed this one off of Wikipedia and massaged it a bit, but it’s still kinda ugly: I don’t love the tight padding here. Let me try...
