This website is 100% maintained and written by a human bean. AI is NOT WELCOME HERE.

This is my monthly lamenting about how bloody annoying tailwind is and how it’s squeezed it’s way into every project I see.

Failwind, more like.

I recently ran a script on all of my Virtual Photography posts.

It may have spammed the fediverse with the changed posts.

I’m sorry if I just spammed your feed :S

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 #Vivaldi browser to get away from #google. 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?

#Dafuq

I think I’m fully onboard the #YunoHost bandwagon now.

Oh my god I can not get email working properly in #YunoHost

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.
