Welcome to my personal homepage.

  • The new No Man’s Sky update — swarm — looks so much fun.

    I keep getting obsessed with NMS for a couple weeks then I stop for months. 🙁

    I need to start committing, I think.

  • Gliding down to the Tallneck

    A wide shot from above in the game "Horizon Forbidden West". Aloy glides down from an unseen high point, down to the top of the head of a tallneck machine. The dusty desert sprawls beneath.

    Aloy glides down from the Cinnabar Sands satellite dish, towards the head of the Tallneck.

    I died far too many times from the two Scrappers and Skydrifter on site — with no metal shards left at the start of the encounter no less.

    I should add that I’m playing on ultra hard mode (not new game plus). So I’m essentially naked at this point in the game. :S

  • Sorry to all the people who follow me. I’ve been indecisive about which fedi instance I want to keep as my home.

    I have now settled on my WordPress website with the ActivityPub and Friends plugins.

    I did switch to YunoHost with a mastodon instance, but that server is already costing me too much money and I need a new boiler.

    So everything I post online will be on this website from this moment going forward.

  • Climbing Post

    Top of a climbable post with the strong orange sun about the set in the background. The silhouette of a long-haired woman in make-shift armour, Aloy, hangs off the top.

    I’ve been trying to get some PlayStation time in again.

    It’s been a while with two small children about.

    I took this shot of Aloy just after the battle at the Forbidden West gates near the start of Horizon: Forbidden West.

  • im not sure whether to make my website just a long-form content site, then set up a self-hosted mastodon for notes/fediverse connections. 🤔

  • So let me get this right.

    I installed browser to get away from . Then I go to install the bitwarden extension, and I have to agree to google toc’s in order to use the chrome web store?

    Screenshot of "Agree to google cookies".

  • I think I’m fully onboard the bandwagon now.

  • Oh my god I can not get email working properly in

  • Capturing the stories

    I have an internet friend who was also once my boss.

    He writes a lot over on his blog — he writes blogging tips, short stories, cyberpunk, funny/quirky tales.

    I find it inspiring for myself wanting to create short stories too.

    Not short stories in books — just blog-length ones.

    I tend to get little ideas of “what ifs” pop in my head now and again, but most end up getting forgotten.

    I need to start using my notebook again.

    As I write this, the tap is dripping, and I am thinking “Maybe a story about the frustrations of a dripping tap”.

    We’ll see.

    This post is one of those thoughts too: the thought that I should start to just write the ideas that I have.

    No filter.

    No excuses.

    Let’s see how this goes.

  • I’m back up and running with again.

    This time for keeps.

    Using for photos and video backups and viewings. It’s incredible.

    Set up initial instance where I’ll prob share short Playstation 5 clips I make.

    And for moving all of my public repositories out of GitHub.

    Gonna try and write up some longer posts about it all soon.

  • The logic of reform UK (fash) party:

    “We want to stop all the ‘foreigners’ from entering our country.”

    Also: “we want to restore Britain to it’s ‘great’ days of ‘world trade’ etc” — obviously referring to the days of empire*.

    *Yano, the times when we would be the “foreigners” invading other countries for their raw materials and riches.

    Also: “Our Culture” as they refer to it, was mostly imported into Britain as the result of all that colonialism.

    Prove me wrong.
