The archives contains a bunch of posts I wrote between 1997 and 2011. The earliest posts from 1995 til 1997 are lost to time, and the site was mostly dormant from 2011 until 2025. As I've been rebuilding it, I've gone back and re-read all of these posts, and well, there's a lot of cringe in there. I'm a very different person now than I was when I wrote most of these. I was a hardcore Libertarian for most of that era, and very much into writing the edgy kinda stuff meant for pure shock value (twas a popular comedic form for quite a while, and good old autistic me jumped right on that bandwagon!) So yeah, lots of cringe-worthy shit in here that really doesn't reflect my views anymore. Still, it shows just how much I've changed over time, so I'm leaving it all here. The good, the bad, and the (sometimes very) ugly.
Oh, and I didn't save everything when I rebooted the site, the stuff omitted was mostly a bunch of old site news that wasn't particularly useful as it was just me ranting about whatever CMS I'd written that weeek to power my site. Yeah, I seriously rewrote the site engine a lot, LOL.

So how do you go from 15 tickets in a support queue to 125? How do you get a phone that never stops ringing, where you have 5 incoming calls all at once, and when one ends another one comes in again? It's called e-mail. E-mail failure that is. Or as I call it E-mail madness.

Well, hello there! It's been a while I see. And time I think to start anew - to be or not to be, that is not the question. Today we'll be talking about Ms. Martha, of the Stewart variety. But wait, don't go. There are things in the news I must cover, so come inside and stay out of the rain.

This is a letter which I sent to a selection of members of parliament, in regards to foreign aid, poverty and a brief mention of our Kyoto plan.

Okay, so I'll admit, I've seen the new episode already (the leaked copy) but I'm not going to write a review until I've seen the broadcast version, in case there are any differences. Now, I do want to say I absolutely LOVE it. It's great. This is Doctor Who for the 21st century.

I just finished reading this document. The fact that this case ever made it as far as the CBSC review board is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard!

So, I've been reading a lot about people's complaints about XHTML 2. I have one suggestion for most of them: If you don't like it, don't use it. It's not like browsers are magically going to stop supporting older versions of HTML and XHTML any time soon.

You ever get the feeling that things couldn't get much more confusing? You feel that your life is swirling around you, and nothing much makes sense anymore?

"We take English for granted but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. There is no egg in eggplant, no ham in hamburger, no apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads which aren’t sweet, are meat.”

Here you will find screenshots of the various desktop environments I use. There are many operating systems represented here. Most of the recent ones will be Ubuntu, with many of the older ones being either Gentoo or LFS. I'll also post some of Microsoft Windows, when it makes sense, mostly to show how my multi-desktop setup at work looks.
