Last week I was planning to ease into the year with some “lighter” subject matter, ranging between some tech projects I’ve been working on to things a bit more serious but still nothing too extreme — some light social commentary. Then Wednesday happened – the Capitol “Siege” that has somehow been the most hilarious yet …

The 2021 Plans Of Prince Watercress
Every year I like to share the thoughts of my partner in crime, Prince Watercress, regarding the previous year and the upcoming one. His ceaseless stream of Let’s Plays and wrestling recaps are nothing short of incredible in their sheer volume and detail, and he’s really carved out a niche for himself – he handles …

What’s Coming For 2021 On Xadara
It goes without saying that 2020 proved to be one hell of a year. While for me it actually wasn’t all that bad, beyond a major spot in the early portion of Spring, it was still a rough one between work, personal life, and my online existence. Still, it was also a year of growth …

A Relaxed End To The Year
It’s just about 6PM Central time for me as I begin writing this, and the year 2020 is coming to a close. Normally I’d take a bit of time to do a retrospective of the past year but, as we all know, it’s been a bit of a mess, to say the least. Even I …

My Early Thoughts On The Nashville Explosion
Would you believe I didn’t even find out about the event until nearly 12 hours after it happened? Yeah, I had apparently stayed off social media so well on Christmas day that it wasn’t until near 5PM that I learned anything had even occurred in my states capital! So, we know the deal – early …

The Return Of The Only Articles I’ve Ever Deleted From This Site
The title isn’t entirely true – there are a few very unimportant entries which had been deleted a while back which are lost. They had no value anyway, unlike the entries I restored this evening. If you have been following this site for long enough or know me to any real degree you will know …

Xadara Video Game Reviews Will Return In January
It was back on Halloween I published the last XVGR article (of all two which have been written so far.) I’ve been wanting to write more but my priorities with the site have been a bit shifted recently, and I’ve just not found good time that I felt like working on one. As things stand …

The “Archive Of Hate” – A Collection Of Social Media Negativity Over The Past Half Decade
I’m in the process of copying nearly 400 gigabytes of data to an external hard drive for archival purposes – some of it certainly will be deleted, if not most of it, with the remainder organized and stored away where it needs to be. The bulk of this is all data from previous projects which …

Some More (Digital) Cleaning
I don’t hide the fact I’m a bit of a packrat, especially when it comes to data archived on computer systems both local to me and remote. Earlier in November I wrote about finally cleaning up my email inboxes of mail that, in some cases, has been archived for over 15 years. That’s, in some …

What’s Coming For December 2020 On Xadara
It’s the end of 2020. One more month to go, one more chance to make up for what was otherwise lost time this year. I’ll make this one quick, as it’s pretty much the same overall idea as last month – stay the course. That is to say, I’m just going to keep on writing …

A yearly tradition…
6 Months Of Final Zone BBS
I didn’t realize until the other day that I’ve been running a Bulletin Board System for the past 6 months! To be fair, this particular “version” of the board didn’t start until June 6th of 2020 – the previous few weeks the system was running on a Raspberry Pi as a “test” board, but in …

We Now Return To Your (Non)Regularly Scheduled Program
A couple of years ago I set out on a goal to have a more regular publishing schedule here on Xadara. The idea was Monday through Friday publishing which would result in around, if I posted an entry per day, a little over 20 entries a month. On the surface it was a fine idea …

Seems Like I Can’t Catch A Break With These Mac mini’s…
The same night I did repairs on my Core 2 Duo Mac mini, nicknamed “Lion” I found out there was a bit of an issue with my other Mac mini, the Core Duo system I used as a basic file host and affectionately dubbed “Miniserv” for its role as a Mac mini “server.” In this …

Trump Lost. Fucking Deal With It.
I generally try not to get too political here, but given that 2020 has been one hell of a year on virtually all fronts I figured now is as good a time as any to just kind of let loose with what I’ve been wanting to say on this subject. That is, the way the …
