I can keep this one pretty simple – the goal for November is “stay the course.” I feel October, while a little delayed on getting going, was really a good return to regular writing for me. This past month has also marked a bit of a return to video content, but specialist stuff for now. […]
That feed function I mentioned earlier is pretty neat, importing entries here on Xadara into my Bulletin Board System, but it has one MAJOR problem – it doesn’t import them WELL. By that, I mean it does a bit of a poor job in properly importing the excerpt of the post and thus has some […]
File this under “crap that only I’ll actually care about” but after a bit of a rough night waiting for some help with code that just refused to work, I’ve got RSS feed importing go on Final Zone. This post will function as a partial test of this functionality. I know it’s working, but I’ve […]
2020 has been a hell of a year for pretty much everyone on Earth. As is obvious I’ve even stepped away quite a bit from this website and many related projects (although my work in the BBS scene took over, so it wasn’t time wasted) and this has caused obvious delays in, well, everything. I’ve […]
I’ve spent some time the past few weeks changing out the locations of a great many images here on Xadara, moving them from sub-folders on the site into the main WordPress image gallery. This is, of course, something you would think I would have just done anyway – it’s how most people run WordPress based […]
Just as the title says, I’ve had to re-enable mandatory HTTPS on this website. I didn’t want to, I’d rather have let the site be reasonably accessible from older computers lacking modern encryption, but at this stage, given how things are with the internet on a whole this just wasn’t feasible. The problem I was […]
I’m going to make this a short one, as not only am I writing it with a bit of a time crunch but I’m also pretty set on what October will consist of. I used September as a month to get back into the groove of writing, after several months taking a bit of a […]
If you’ve visited the site before, you know I like to update the look of things from time to time. That’s common – everyone does that, be it an individual and one of their social media accounts or a business completely rebranding itself (like Intel did recently.) In my case, I wanted to freshen up […]
Time to enter another month of what has to be one of, if not the single craziest year of our lives. September 2020 is looking to be another wild time in the real world and as an escape from all of that I’m happy to say I’m about ready to get the ball rolling, as […]
I mentioned in the last post that I’ve been, quite literally, putting off the inevitable of getting back to publishing content to this site. It is, after all, my “main” presence online – my hobby, my method of expression to the greater world. It’s certainly not something I’m just going to give up, even if […]
I’ve been doing an incredibly good job at accomplishing absolutely nothing over the past few months with regards to this website. It’s one of those cases where once you break the habit of working on it, you never get back to it. That hasn’t been intentional, but the past 4 months have been quite transformative […]
Over the past few months I’ve written very little. I’ve been making a lot of time for myself, working on some other projects which I intend to write about here and, most critically, somewhat stepping away from so many things which are a source of stress in my life. Be it stupidity online, situations in […]
Well, when I said I was taking a break and just “going with the flow” in June, I didn’t think it would be that extreme. Yes, I published a few entries, and took time for other things, but certainly took more time for myself than I intended. Ah well, it happens. So, moving on to […]
Right, I’ve spent pretty much all of June taking a break – as my buddy Prince Watercress put it, kind of a “lost weekend” situation, but an intentional one of me just not caring about writing stuff. I’ve put out a few things here and there, but have otherwise been slacking very intentionally, resulting in […]
I’ve not written much this month as I’ve been recently taking quite a bit of time to just indulge in some other hobbies of mine and detach from all the chaos going on in the world right now. I covered this in a bit of detail in a previous entry, and touched on some of […]
