There are a ton of gaming websites out there. One which I’ve never heard of is gameanyone.com. It appears to be more of a content aggregate site, mainly a place to post gaming related video links from YouTube and the like, alongside it having its own discussion forums, apparently. At least, this is what I […]
Considering how many old computers I’ve been messing with recently (only a very few of which I’ve gotten around to writing about) it’s only natural that as part of my trying them out I’d take them for a spin on the web. Yeah yeah, dangerous to do and all that jazz, but when you only […]
We all get Spam email. It’s quite simply a fact of the internet. What’s more, the vast, and I mean vast majority of the spam email received is also some kind of scam in some form — be it the classic “Nigerian Prince” scam, the old school “malware in an attachment” email which now will […]
I don’t game nearly as much as people would think I do. I sometimes go whole months without any real serious game play happening — hell, the last game I really spent time playing was Red Dead Redemption 2, and that was back in November / December. Oh, sure, I may spend some time while […]
Long time readers may recall I was pretty big on Destiny 2 last year, playing it pretty regularly and sometimes writing about it here where I felt it relevant. By about May of 2018, though, I just stopped, and haven’t really fired the game back up at all since that time. I figured it’d be […]
Wow, I’m quite behind on this little series, and so many things have changed in the past 6-9 months regarding all these computers and stuff it’s almost not worth continuing, but whatever, I’m still going to tell it. So, move back to June 2018. It was the same week that I got the G5. At […]
I’ve been running this website in some capacity nonstop for 12 years now. Bloody hell! It’s honestly kind of amazing that I’ve been keeping at this for as long as I have, given all the ups and downs over the past decade plus, both online and in my personal life. The rough early days where […]
I’m in the market for a new phone right now. Having been an Android user who went to Windows Phone then back to Android for the past few years, I’m pretty certain I’m wanting to grab an iPhone this time around. In fact, I already know the one I’m wanting to get – no, not […]
I had a long post planned here, but didn’t feel it was quite right, so I’ll try to keep this as short as possible. No, I won’t have the usual in depth explanations of what I mean here – I’ve done enough of that, and and won’t waste my time explaining it further. People choose […]
In my last article I went into somewhat excessive detail on my recently purchased PowerBook G4. The machine was quite “used and abused” and was running an install of MacOS X 10.4 Tiger which was somewhat broken. Also broken on the machine was the Superdrive, which eliminated my ability to actually reinstall Tiger, or upgrade […]
I’ve been in the process ,over the past few weeks… er, months… of changing the front room in my house into a gaming room / office. It’s a small room, I’d say maybe 12×12, but is lined up in just the right way to lay out things the way I want to. The old entertainment […]
Yesterday was a somewhat emotional day for those who follow current events in space exploration as NASA finally called an end of mission to the Opportunity rover on Mars. This little machine had been doing its thing on Mars for 15 years, roaming around doing science alongside its twin “Spirit” which reached its own end […]
I’m going to keep this one short. Remember that Typewriter Journal Project I wrote about in mid January? Yeah, literally that same night was the last entry in it. Over the next couple of weeks I found myself too busy to really keep up with it. I had realized some entries were kind of a […]
It would appear my birthday has come around again, which means another chance for me to post some kind of introspective article that I can look back to in a year and think “oh, okay, I wrote that. Cool.” In all seriousness, I do enjoy the chance to reflect from year to year, and without […]
Nothing lasts forever. Things break down over time, and inevitably everything needs to be replaced. This is something most people grow to accept pretty early in life, but no matter how used to this fact you get, it still sucks when something does fail, especially unexpectedly. In this case, as the title suggests, the graphics […]
