Creating a Blogroll. Adding a blogroll to a Squarespace website requires a third party addon or knowledge of coding. I've put together something but it requires fine tuning. Mutual promotion within the blogging community is a valuable service.

I just threw a pig at the enemy in Chivalry 2. For me, gaming just peaked.

Video Games Are Bad at Explaining Themselves. Lazy or non-existent tutorials. Information and FAQs curated by players rather than developers. Why is the video game industry so bad and even resistant to explaining themselves?

Toasted my Hot Cross Buns in the air fryer. That is all.

I discovered this a few weeks back. It's such a great show to unwind to.

Right, I'm going to watch Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield, which I last saw 40 years ago. Cover me.

I'm very concerned about the UK tax exiles living in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates that are now at risk of Iranian reprisals. Yep. It's a real shame. Will keep me awake at night.

The Decline of Windows. What was once a user friendly operating system now appears to be a barely adequate live service that impedes your productivity for profit. A few thoughts on the matter.

Fun or Skill? I'm bad at playing Chivalry 2. This appears to annoy some other players, which pleases me. Not every endeavour in life has to be a struggle for excellence. Why do so many gamers balk at the notion of "fun"?

Would you be surprised to learn I have an interest in the paranormal? Does this mean I believe in ghosts? Well we'd have to define what that term means before we began a discussion. Thoughts on balancing scepticism with an open mind.

By adult themes do you mean being permanently skint and perpetually tired?

British Optical Association Museum. Explore the history of the optometry profession in one of London's most niche but fascinating museums. There's an outstanding collection of celebrity glasses and sunglasses.

Fighting the Cost of Living. There are always savings to be made with your personal finances. Making such changes is no longer just a optional extra but essential. Yet apathy often stops people getting a better deal.

Into the Uncanny by Danny Robins (2023). An interesting and engaging book version of the Uncanny podcast. It works mainly due to the author's personality and inherent people skills. It also takes a very even handed approach to the subject.

Projects and Problem Cascades. It's amazing how a simple idea can lead to a tsunami of technical issues. A few thoughts on this phenomenon.

Mr. Tickle by Roger Hargreaves (1971). A few thoughts on this existential and absurdist tale which is easily the equal of Catcher in the Rye.

Changing Software. There are plenty of alternatives to Google Chrome, Microsoft Outlook and such like. However, the devil is in the detail. Are you always getting like for like?

Der Tiger AKA The Tank (2025). Despite its WWII setting, this is not a traditional war film but something quite different. Interesting but tips its hand too quickly. Featuring a superb recreation of a Tiger tank.
