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 […]
Yesterday was a bit of a mess for me publishing anything. I had a bit more intended than what I got out (which was only the review of AVGN episode 51) but with limited time to actually write and publish I had to pick my battle, and that article was the one I decided to […]
Yep. A new month is upon us and as always that means another excuse for me to write what amounts to a filler post disguised as an update. Yeah, it’s real content but content that only those who read every post will care about. Then again that’s who it’s targeted at, so I guess it […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Far back into last year (far longer ago than it should have been) I wrote about an idea I had to cover the BBC Computer Literacy Project here on Xadara. It being a major part of computer history and one that, as the title implies, is very much British, I felt taking a look at […]
I know, I know, it’s already March 5th, almost 6th as I write this, but hey, I haven’t done an update since last months “Coming Soon” article which I thought would feel more natural than these, but in retrospect was even more forced feeling! Instead of talking specifics, I’ll be a bit more general on […]
This is going to be a quick one, but I wanted to update readers who may be interested (all 3 of them) that I did become aware of a few links in my Bits and Bytes article series becoming broken. I had sourced links from 2 different YouTube accounts and one (Canadian Toast, I believe […]
I mentioned this past week that I was spending some time using the Power Mac G5 which I had been given for free by a work friend this past Summer. Off and on through the past week I’ve really been having fun just using it for what it is – playing some games, exploring early […]
I feel like I normally doom myself to procrastination when I speak of upcoming plans for the site, but the past few days have proven fruitful writing, and I’m feeling optimistic, so why not take a chance, right? I’ll be keeping this short, as I really just wanted to put up a list of subjects […]
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 […]
Time for yet another update – this time one regarding all my projects, of which Xadara is really the only one that has been going steady. To make a long story short, January has been a pretty productive month, albeit with some challenges, for me and hosting. On New Years Day I discovered why the […]
This is one of those questions someone has to have asked when seeing me online – just who in the hell actually is this person with the strange Japanese username? It’s a natural question to have, and I figured with us starting off the year why not provide a bit of an explanation as to […]
