The answer is no, but goodness does this look good? Now a few days ago, I talked about the themes that I added to the site. You can still see them if you’re on desktop, there’s a little menu in the lower right side. My favorite so far has been ayu, but they’re all pretty damn good. What’s your favorite? With that...

Beware those who tread here, for there be MAJOR Spoilers ahead. Stephen King has never written an ending I’ve really enjoyed. I’ve read many of his books, most of them from his younger days, and I’ve never really left any of his books satisfied. There is a fundamental disagreement Mr. King and I have. I truly...
I’m a keyboard guy, we all know this about me. During my time as a “keyboard guy” I’ve tried out several different layouts. Everyone uses qwerty, but there are benefits to some of the other, less popular layouts. I’ve tried Colmak (dh and regular) and Dvorak. I’ve always failed at this transition. I can write about...
Yesterday I talked about some of the things I’ve done on the blog. Well, today, I’ve been under the weather a little, so I decided to go ahead and tweak my blog some more. If you’re on desktop (i.e. not on mobile), look down at the lower right hand corner. See the theme name? Click that. Change to one of the...
More updates have happened on the blog. I have a new “link” post type, that will allow me to share links to things I find interesting. This was fun to set up, and took a fair bit of doing. I wanted it to appear in the main hugo feed, and I wanted the posts to appear a bit different. At first, I thought about having...
Did you know that I once had ambitions of being a tech blogger? Before I came to be a Linux content creator, I had several blogs that “covered” technology and gadgets. I even started a podcast about Tech and such with my friends. We still do that podcast to this day, but we now just review movies. I really loved the...
One of the things I’ve noticed in a lot of adult fiction, is that authors tend to have their characters swear way too fucking much. Now, I’m not opposed to swearing. I think that it adds flavor and personality to dialogue that would be missing otherwise. The problem is that it’s overused. Like with exclamation...
I really love doing it myself. This has been the best blogging experience I’ve ever had. I too should have done it sooner. WordPress, and even Ghost to a lesser extent, was a waste of time. Link: https://markwrites.io/i-should-have-self-hosted-to-begin-with/
I’m staring at my blog right now. You ever do that? Look at something you created and just stare at it in wonder? I often times will look at my blog or my YouTube page and think: “I made that!” It’s a good feeling, but not one you really remember until you’ve created something. It floats out of your consciousness,...
So, September has been a total bust when it comes to reading. I just have not been able to settle my attention enough to actually get any reading done. I wrote back at the half way mark, that I was hoping to catch up. That did not happen. Not at all. I’ve opened a couple books, but I don’t think I’ve read a single...
It’s not like I don’t care about what goes on in the world. I do. But I don’t care about your opinion. It’s not personal, it goes for both sides of the political aisle. I think both sides are full of zealots who would watch the world burn if only they could be proven right. And the thing is, if you’re one of those...
