It never ends…
Yeah, some aspects of life are quite Sisyphean.
In this case, hosting this website (and consequently the other stuff I have in the same host)
Yeah, yet another webhost move.
(more…)Anything is a good excuse for a random post
So, after years of owning the same printer, a few months ago I decided to buy refillable cartridges.
Undoubtedly a worthwhile investment, but I spent years postponing buying them. “Next round of Ebay shit, I’ll order them”, fast forward “Uhh…in the next round of Ebay shit I won’t forget the cartridges…”
(more…)I’m a sucker for cheap tools
Yeah, haven’t posted anything in a while, as usual.
And I’ve been thinking of diversifying my post content for at least 3 years.
So, I’ll write about cheap shit I buy.
Recently on one of the many Chinese online shops I peruse they had a sale for ratchet wrenches 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ drive, less than USD$2 (1.99) each.
(more…)Another webhost change.
The never-ending saga continues never ending…
This is technically old news as the host change was done a couple of months ago, but I feel like writing a bit.
So, on with the story.
After days of downtime on the stupidly cheap host I was using, I decided to change webhost, for the 1xxth time.
(more…)And on the…somethingth day of lockdown my internet gave to me…
…a copy of Disaster Report 4: Summer memories.
The guys responsible for the Disaster Report series (ZZT for short) have a lot to answer…
First, ZZT3 features a story that takes place in March of 2011, with a huge earthquake and shit.
Spoiler alert motherf*ckers!
Then ZZT 4 was scheduled to be released on 10th of March 2011. (just to be pushed into April and then cancelled on 14th of March due to you know 3/11)
And now the reborn ZZT4 is released amid a fucking worldwide pandemic.
This cannot be a simple coincidence, because there are too many of them!
I’ll eventually post a rant about ZZT4 (and might also do ZZT1-3 some day)
Well, long time without writing anything.
All the posts since December were pre-written and scheduled.
So, I have yet to shitpost about the Wu Flu…the Kung Flu…the Chineses virus…SARS little brother…
SARS-CoV2.0 you can (not) coofance.
(there’s nothing interesting written in this post, only shitposting of the lowest calibre)
Sometimes weird queries wield the right result
So, as I said a few times, I like pens and other stationery stuff.
But I’m….frugal.
One thing I’ve been in search of for a while were Parker Jotter refills but with gel ink as opposed to the usual oil based ink.
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.
