Hello! I am Joel, I am just a guy who likes tech, FOSS and many other things. I was born in Mexico, where I still live. I am a hobby collector, fake fan of many things, foss enthusiast, videogame enjoyer, and a mechatronics engineer, working as a system admin for some company somewhere.

Every day I am more and more annoyed by the way some of the blogs I have followed for years have started to “get with the times” or “catch up” on using those “tools” to “improve” their blogging in one way or another. I don’t even want to...
These weeknotes are full of gaming related topics yet again, but also some reading, let us celebrate such an accomplishment, yay! 💻 Now that it’s over, it’s weird to think about all the work I did while my workmate was out. It sure was...
I mentioned a bit of this a few years back in a post where I shared some early computing memories. At the time, I only recalled what the games were about, but I didn’t remember the names or specific game mechanics. However, through vague...
I apologize for the delay of these weeknotes! Work has been rather busy lately, I don’t even want to bring it up here very much. Rest assured I had plenty of free time to do other things I find more enjoyable to share on this blogpost! 🐉...
I saw Alex Wolfe answering these questions and I thought I’d give them a go! I even wrote an early draft by hand before transferring them to digital for some final edits. Feel free to reply to these as well, I would love to read your...
I don’t often share videos by themselves, much less actually quote them verbatim, but I really enjoyed it this time. The e-ink display—the technology itself—actually represents something different: Focus, simplicity, and going back to...
My previous post ended with me mentioning how inspired I was feeling today, referring to my desire to make another post! The truth is that this is often the case, especially on Mondays that are rather free of any work duties and where I...
I just got off the bus to work, it always arrives early, giving me thirty minutes or so that I often use to play on my gaming handheld or read on my Kobo. Today however, I opened up my RSS reader and saw this prompt from Syl’s blog:...
This week in particular felt excruciatingly slow, work was busy all the time and I really couldn’t catch a break as often as other weeks due to my workmate going on vacation. However, I still managed to do a lot with the spare time I...

Music is quite nice I think, and I enjoy listening to it very much. However I must admit I didn’t actually start to support artists directly until I discovered Bandcamp. Everything started when I got a great little videogame known as...
The people at Mastodon recently released a share button for websites! and I think it works rather well, as it remembers the instance you selected for the next time you use it somewhere else. I added the following button to the bottom of...
I mentioned on my last Weeknotes that I wouldn finish this next week, but against all odds, I ended up finishing the book on the very same day! Persepolis Rising is the seventh book of The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey. And it...
I already share links every time I do week notes, but I still read quite a bit of things on my FreshRSS instance and thought I’d share some more thoughts on articles and things I found interesting today—maybe yesterday. Just some musings...
A week that felt rather short. Like, I don’t even know what to write as an introduction for this one. Oh! The weather! Things are starting to warm up again at last, all I need to wear in the mornings is a hoodie, no extra sweatshirt or...
