The Return

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 …

Putting Off The Inevitable

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 …

Moving Forward

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 …

August 2020 Xbox Live Games With Gold

After the pretty terrible showing last month from the Games with Gold lineup, I’ve gotta say I wasn’t hoping for much this time around. At first glance the selection looks like a joke, but once I looked a little more closely I’m seeing more to enjoy this time around. Let’s take a look. Starting off …

Hanging In There

It’s been damn near two weeks since my last update, and I just wanted to chime in and say I’m fine and things are okay on a whole, beyond the fact it’s nearly 100 degrees every damn day now (38 Celsius for those of you in the rest of the world) and that’s incredibly exhausting …

Shit Just Keeps Getting Worse – Pandemic Log 7-7-202

This is just a post to update readers that things are as fine as they can be on my end of things. The world is in a hell of a state right now — well, mainly the US is. The continued political strife is as heated as ever and, exactly as anyone with any sense …

July 2020 Xbox Live Games With Gold

I’m not going to lie – I didn’t even want to write this one. I know I’m normally one to be optimistic about the games coming each month, but for July 2020 the selection is a joke. Yes, I’m saying that. I certainly always try to look on the good side of what’s being offered …

Whats Coming For July 2020 On Xadara

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 …

Let’s Get This Place Going Again

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 …

The State Of Xadara And What I’ve Been Working On – 6/18/2020

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 …

The Hell With Mandatory HTTPS And Google!

The fact that Google has so much power over how people run their websites is nothing short of a travesty to the very nature of the world wide web. They, in effect, strong arm website authors and administrators into using various techniques and standards or face some kind of search or display penalty, even if …

Looks Like I Was Right About The Design Of The PlayStation 5 As Well

Yesterday Sony finally showed off the design of the PlayStation 5 and all I could think upon seeing it was that it looks nothing like the developer systems which everyone seemed to think the actual hardware would resemble. In two entries I covered this subject. In January I wrote “No, the PlayStation 5 is not …

Shit’s Crazy Out There – Better Make Some Time For Myself

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’d have to be aware of the rather chaotic state that things are in in the United States right now – between the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve also had yet another issue of police oppression and this one seems to be the straw that broke the camels back, as …

What’s Coming For June 2020 On Xadara

It would be just like me to not get the “what’s coming” article for the next month out until we’re already 3 days in the month, but what can I say, I’ve been working on other projects the past few days and really making some headway into some things that I will, hopefully, write about …

The Return Of XadaraCast!

Yes, you’re reading that correctly – XadaraCast is back! Yes, I make that sound far more exciting than it is, because we all know the internet totally needed another podcast but damn if I haven’t for years really wanted to have one of these going and damn if each time I try things just kind …
