SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!

Yesterday, I got an email alleging to be from Presearch and claiming that I have funds available for withdrawal. The problems with that message are as follows: The email sender's domain doesn't match that of Presearch, which is a red flag. I don't y...

The problem that I have with trusting other people is that they invariably betray that trust and let me down. Every time a coconut, every damn time! That's why I think it's best that I don't trust people and am my own army of one, not that I can rely...

Love, Death and Robots I watched Howl's Moving Castle on Netflix a little while ago. I've been meaning to do so for a while. I know it's a cult classic and a seminal work of Animé (like Akira and Spirited Away), but it just didn't appeal to me for s...

Today is a public holiday in my small part of the world. That means another day, another big batch of pooches to exercise. That was what I did this morning. It seems a more productive thing to do than drink beer, barbecue (although I like a good stea...

In the CBD, the streets stink of piss, bird shit and cigarette smoke. For hours, I stood in a queue that barely moved, was often completely stagnant, the air heavy with expectation and hope. At one point, someone I'd never met before greeted me like...

Tomorrow, the town in which I live is going to experience a scheduled power outage that might last up to twelve hours, if not longer. The outage is scheduled to start from 08:00 in the morning. I think that it's most likely going to be out of commiss...

I feel the urge to post something on one of my blogs, but I'm all out of ideas. All I have to report is that I spent about half the day in bed and the other half posting an updated CV to various job sites and applying to positions I'm unlikely to get...
