In yet another piece that is far longer than it needs to be, I discuss why I’m removing Google Ads from this site. It’s actually slightly more interesting than it sounds!

WordPress Is Starting To Annoy Me…
A modest rant about how my preferred CMS is starting to tick me off.
Let’s Light This Candle
Some final thoughts as I prepare myself to return in earnest to blogging with complete openness and honesty with myself.
Leap Of The Tiger
It’s finally time to get things back in action here.
15 Years of Xadara
Or, 15 years of doing the internet my way.
Solstice
A look at some of my thoughts on the state of my hobbies, projects, and online presence this past year, as well as things going forward into 2022.
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 […]
New Look, Same Great Taste! (Or, How To Update Your Websites Look Without Really Trying)
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 […]
What’s Coming For September 2020 On Xadara
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 […]
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 […]
It’s Backlog Week
I’ve got a bit of a habit of planning out articles but never actually writing them. Sometimes I just have to say “forget it” and let them go, as they wind up being too dated and no longer relevant, or I just have better things to cover. Still, other times I feel like they would […]
What Xadara Is, And What It Isn’t
I was intending to write this article a month ago, around the 13th anniversary of this sites founding, but given how much chaos last month was it got delayed while I worked on some other more critical tasks. Today, to finish off this week I figured now would be as good a time as ever […]
What’s Coming For April 2020 On Xadara
We’re in quite a unique time in history, what with the whole Coronavirus situation and how that’s affecting life for most everyone on Earth in some way. That being said, most people are trying to, in one way or another, keep things pretty normal in their lives during this, and that’s no exception here on […]
For The Love Of Music
You know, I always find myself at a crossroads with what to write about. This site is, as I’ve said numerous times, about whatever I want it to be at a given moment; whatever has caught my attention and interest, or what I’m focusing on at that time. This has, of course, resulted in quite […]
It’s Good To Be Back
It’s been damn near two weeks since the last entry on this site and, now that the chaos has settled, it’s time for things to get back to normal around here. To say that when I wrote the “change is inevitable” entry I didn’t expect it to be such a dramatic case of life imitating […]
