Hey! It's been a little while! Don't worry I've got a few other blog posts in the works... but it's due time I have you an update to my adventures in Germany. I have been in Germany for 6 weeks now, and its flown by. I honestly don't know where the time has gone: A mix of socialising, maths, sport, german, english...

Ein kurzer Gedanke: Meine Website gehört mir. Sie ist ja für Leser*innen, aber sie ist auch für mich! Ich kann irgendeine Information sammeln und benutze meine Website als ein Platform... Es sollte gibt mir glückliche Fühlen! Deshalb werde ich mehr Blogbeiträge schreiben, aber auch mehr experimentelle Seiten...

It is 13:15 BST, 17/09/2025 at Stansted Airport, London. There, you'll find me: one small Daniel in a really big world. I'm drenched in sweat; anxious droplets form a nervous sheen across my face, reflecting an array of concerned glances. I shrink down towards my bag and desperately fiddle with the straps, masking a...

On the 17th September I begin something crazy: moving to Germany and studying Maths at Universität Bremen. This is only for an academic year (September-July), but this has potentially to be a pivoting life experience. My motivations for going are fairly complicated — aspects of challenge and ambition, restlessness...

Hallo, Welt! Das ist die Wendung, die man sagen soll... aber warum? Ich finde, es ist einfach eine laute, große Aussage. Sie macht einem nur ein gutes Gefühl. Außer dass wir wissen, dass unsere Welt kaputt ist und immer kaputter wird. Daher heiße ich unsere Welt aus einem anderen Grund willkommen: Dieser Blog ist...

Those who know me know I frequently claim "Maths is {crazy, hard, silly, etc}". It's fair to say there is a level of disdain or despair at the subject I chose to study... So why did I study maths? Myself, like many of you reading this blog, would describe themselves as generally techy and for much of my life it was...

What are the walls I need to overcome to blog more? Why don't I just write? I have been pondering these for a while now and I think I have broken it down into several components: Conflict between real and online personas High standards... do I really want this on my blog? Is this worth writing about? Irregularity...

Someone recently asked me how they can setup a blog. They are a Linux user, so I am (ab)using that to craft a really simple writing process for blogging. The setup is a little bit technically inclined, but I am hoping this is easy enough to follow Lets begin... Tech stack Codeberg pages for hosting our website Xlog...

Coping Vision salted by forced ignorance. The barrier from emotional impotence. Instinct's omission of life's facts. The mission to smother, then suffocate, any painful memory that permeates. Feelings translated into physical action: ticks or habits, pain or isolation. Without reason: all a sly, mitigating reflex. A...

Tainted Knitted in my mother's womb, made Broken and patchy Holes, fraying, now filled By twisted reality. Broken sands and Shards of refracted yesterday, Warped and trodden. Mar my meaning, insane. Dyes named personality, Anointed over... staining, painting Colours upon black: My faux shield for eternity. Fruitless...

Hobbies Conflicted, unable to confide: Others will never take interest; They always hide. Distant, blockade named dialect: Translating turned lecturing; Robbing of respect. Misread, silence against me: Only filling for courtesy; No part harmony. Futile, the end is a climax: Gains equating null and worse;...

As some of you may know, I am vegan! One particular vegan dish I have gotten quite good at conjuring up (any time, any place, any ingredients) is a curry!! Having guests round and you don't know what to cook? Curry. Staying over at a friend's place and they are not used to catering for vegans? Curry. Want a solid,...
