So What’s With All The Late Articles?

I feel like I picked the worst month to devote to daily writing. I’ve stayed far busier than I expected to during the past few weeks, and I feel like this isn’t going to change as we move into the last 10 days of September. The good news is that so far I’m at 24 …

So Much To Do, So Little Time – An Update

Oh boy, another one of these updates. I’m sure you all just love when it’s one of these posts and not actual content! (That’s sarcasm, by the way.. just thought I’d clarify) Anyway, right, this is going to be a quick one. I’ve been a good bit more busy than usual with many other things, …

The Chaotic Mess That Is Any Attempt For Me To Cover E3

I don’t know what I was thinking in trying to cover E3 this year. This entire event is, quite simply, far too massive for me to take a stab at given I’m just one person, and I don’t even like E3 all that much to begin with. The core presentations alone are far too much …

New Old Computers, A Week Off, And More – An Update

Oh, hi. You might remember me. My name is Chris, and I’m the guy who used to write an article a day here at Xadara, but over the past 6 months has cut back on this, much to his own displeasure. As much as I’m trying to get back to heavy writing, I wind up …

What’s Coming For June 2018 On Xadara

May 2018 proved to be quite a productive month for me and my blogging – 29 articles, more than I’ve done since January. I guess I’m getting back into the swing of things. Of course, the 45th anniversary of the launch of Skylab helped with that, giving me a set of articles to write about …

Our Privacy Policy Has Been Updated (AKA The “GDPR” Article, Short Version)

Yesterday new data privacy laws took hold in the European Union. These laws, known as the “General Data Protection Regulation” or, GDPR, very basically, and I do mean in a very basic form allow European Union residents to demand a company they have data with get rid of said data at that users request (or …

What’s Coming For May 2018 On Xadara

The past 3 months have been quite a mess for this site – quite a bit less content, and some slightly different types of content out of what had been published were the norm. Certainly not how I wanted to start out the year, to say the least. While the slight shift in subject matter …

Mind The Gaps – An Update

As you can tell, my previous statements about getting back to normal article writing rates on Xadara haven’t fully come to pass as I hoped they would. Thankfully much of this has actually been intentional, if the root cause hasn’t been something I expected or planned for. Just about a month ago, coinciding with a …

Slowly Getting Things Back To Normal – An Update

I mentioned previously that for some strange reason, I just haven’t felt like working on Xadara as much as I have over the past 2 years. I don’t know if it’s burnout, general frustration and exhaustion, or just being too busy with other things, but for whatever reason I went from about an article a …

Playing Catch Up – An Update

I’m finally getting back into the writing groove, damn near a month after the slow down in production began. That’s awesome just on the point I’m finally getting back to writing for the site, which I honestly do enjoy, but it also means I can finally cover things that I’ve been behind on sharing – …

When You Just Don’t Feel Like Working On Your Own Website – An Update

Anyone taking a look at this site will notice something – I have barely written anything in damn near 3 weeks! I’ve gone from nearly every single day writing at least one article, if not more, to barely getting one out every few days. What’s happened? Honestly, nothing… nothing I can put my finger on. …

What’s Coming For February 2018 On Xadara

With the way January goes for me, I didn’t even realize until last night that it was February, and that I should do the now standard “What’s Coming” article where I state a list of plans that I know I won’t be able to keep up with! A wonderful tradition, to be sure. Right, I …

What’s Coming For 2018 On Xadara

Here we go, the first post for 2018! Might as well open up the year with the typical update entry, but this time, like 2017, I’ll cover my broader plans for the entire year! As I’ve hinted at in a few previous articles, I’m planning to somewhat go back to the sites roots this year. …

The Final Countdown To 2018

I felt like letting Xadara leave 2017 in style. After the rather low point I feel the site hit in December, why not end it on a high note right? To that end, I felt the best way to go about this would be with the 1986 hit song, “The Final Countdown” by the band …
