Getting old…
You know you’re getting old when to the good old Conan, the barbarian question:
“What is best in life?”
“Hot water, good dentistry and soft lavatory paper” starts to sound like a really good answer. A product of profound wisdom, even.
Yeah, recently found myself reading (well, listening to) the Discworld books, had never read them and I guess it’s never too late to read something that seems interesting.
Uhhh…I don’t think I should…
Found this image in my screenshots folder. I guess I had it there because I planned to do a small rant about it, somewhere last year.
But I didn’t.
So I’ll do it today.
(more…)A chain of events.
It’s the little things that sometimes make you think about the universe and how shit works.
Take as example this little meaningless chain of events.
(more…)Dreams, realities and jokes…
So, I recently alluded to “my non-existent YouTube channel.” when I talked about wanting to re-learn the basics of video editing.
I guess that’s something lots of young people have in their “To Do” list, I mean, you can get rich making utoobe vidjas.
(more…)I had to…
I haven’t touched a NLE video editor in years. (other than perhaps trimming some video files and whatnot)
Recently I felt like getting back into relearning the very basics. (which I never actually progressed beyond)
So I grabbed a cheap copy of Magix VEGAS Movie Studio Platinum (VEGAS Pro’s little brother) and a free copy of HitFilm Express (I thought Vegas exporting was slow…HitFilm taught me I was completely wrong)
hint: Vegas MS Platinum is sometimes on sale on Steam and Ebay has a couple legit sellers with amazing prices for “last year’s” version or older. (randomly ran across version 13 for like 12€, now 19€, 100% positive feedback; version 16 is around 40€, for a basic yet decent video editing program those are amazing prices)
Now all I needed was a reason to play around with editing something.
And the perfect opportunity arose…
(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…)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:
