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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’ve not been posting much over the past few weeks. Normally I say that this is due to me being tied up with other things or just not feeling it, but in this case it’s the opposite – I’ve actually been incredibly productive on fronts of both my day to day life and side projects, […]
If you’ve been to this site at all in the past few months you certainly will recall the rather beautiful, yet very “heavy” theme I had switched to, known as “Pen” and will certainly notice that, for now, I’ve switched back to the older theme I had been using: Frontier. This isn’t because I don’t […]
