Stuff Review #1: EKA Swede 38
And finally, the first review of something, only some 6 years late.
Not really a review, more of a rant in my usual noncommittal, meandering style.
First victim: EKA Swede 38.
I believe they are no longer produced.
I’ll start with a knife review because I felt like it. Next time I’ll probably review a pen or something.
So, I’ve been using the new editor in WordPress
Since the last host change, I decided to give WordPress’ Gutenberg (a.k.a. the block editor) a try.
So I wrote the last two or three posts on it.
It’s atrociously bad.

Computer woes: Part 1854.02
“What now?” 
My shitty, over 10 year old laptop that I got for free finally broke.
That thing saved me a couple of times:
When my AM3 motherboard blew.
When my monitor died after 15 years of service.
Spam is getting smart.
This time it could almost make me click it, it now knows what to use to get my attention.
I clearly didn’t care about the typical spam:
Happy new year!
Yeah, I said I probably wouldn’t post a separate happy new year post, but I did dun it.
This way I can say I made 8 posts in the last month.
Possibly a new record.
So, happy new year. Wish you happiness and all that stuff.
May the new decade bring the zombie apocalypse.

Computer Woes: Part 2038.7
This happened some months ago, but since I was in a writing hiatus in the last half of 2019 due to eye surgery I’m only writing/posting it now.
“So, what broke this time?”, I hear all of you asking.
My precious…
My faithful…
And stupidly old…
Monitor.

Merry Christmas 2019!
Hey everyone (all the 0 readers, including myself), I want to wish you all a merry Christmas!
And a happy new year since I doubt I’m going to post again until then.

I’m gonna do it!
I’ve promised a few times along the years that I would start posting reviews of random junk.
I will and I have proof.
A couple of days ago I opened Inkscape and did something I hadn’t done in years: a bit of vectorial work.
And with a new host comes…
…a new shitty theme.
So, about 5 years after introducing my theme made with a WP theme generator, I introduce to you my new theme made with a WP theme generator (the same exact one I used last time in fact).
(more…)Boy, do I love changing webhost!
So, I changed webhost again.
I either don’t change anything for years or I’m constantly jumping around webhosts.
This time was because the webhost I was using was supercheap, well the package that I was using was supercheap.
But it only had 1GB of space which considering my other stuff on the host, the backups and all that 1GB was too little.
