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!

First off, let me state that until about 48 hours ago, I had no idea whom Charlie Kirk was, nor for what he stood. However, that changed when I heard the news of his death and some of his "conservative" extremist political ideology. While I'm not cel...

I have a pet peeve with generative AI, particularly when it comes to generating images. What vexes me is that most of the so-called "free" ones don't allow sexually explicit — or even suggestive — content, showing either an all-black output or an err...

Well, folks, I'm a little bit (but only a little bit) sad to report that it looks like I'm stuck with GNU+Linux for good. All my attempts at making a bootable USB stick with Windows on it have come to nothing; the OS installer just won't boot from US...

I've been watching a lot of Rick and Morty lately, since I've been doing a lot of looking after my parents' aging pooch (which mostly sleeps) while they go out and have fun. Although it's supposed to be light-hearted Science fiction not meant to be t...

This article lists some of the games in my Steam library, categorised by whether they do or don't run on Proton and Vulkan on GNU+Linux. It seems my eschewing of Windows as a gaming platform/OS was a little premature. Games that Do Function/Run BEEP...

In case you're wondering what I've been up to over the last two weeks, I've been playing Doom (the original release from the 90s, but bundled with Doom II and The Plutonia Experiment, including a full updated soundtrack and mods), Don't Starve and Fa...

Over the course of this weekend, I managed to set up an old computer (with an i7 processor and GTX 1050 graphics card) as a gaming rig, running GNU+Linux. (It actually works, much to my satisfaction and surprise). It only took three attempts, since I...

Having watched 30-minutes or longer videos containing breaking news and opinion pieces on YT from the likes of MSNBC, CNN and other sources, I am now heartily sick of the first hundred days of Donald Trump's second term of farcical incompetence and i...

Having finally accumulated some small sum of money in my bank account thanks to doing some house-/pet-sitting gigs, I went on a mini shopping spree today (although it wasn't really a spree). I wanted to get some new long cargo pants or something simi...

Greetings, moon bats and other creatures of the night! This is just a quick post to let you know that I've published yet another book (a third one at that) on LeanPub. (See the URL for all my LeanPub books in the resources section.) Rather than me ba...
