We’re now very much into the holiday season. And I guess that means for many, it’s time for last-minute shopping.
Luckily for us though, we’ve been able to do a lot more local shopping than usual.
Why I’m Back…
If you’ve followed me on social media, you’ll know that I’ve tried to rebuild and resurrect this site now several times over the last few years. I’ve usually failed. But this time, I’m pretty determined to keep the faith – and the site – independent. Recent political changes and the purchase of Twitter – a publicly traded company – by the world’s richest man one of the world’s richest men… and the systemic deletion of all checks and balances at said company under the overused flag of ‘free speech’ has led to increased hate attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, liberal politicians, and Jewish people. There’s been a rise in racism on the platform, and plenty of other shit you wouldn’t want to discuss at your holiday dinner table with your grandmother.
Well, That was fun*
The last time I was here was some time ago.A lot has happened.I could tell you all about what’s been going on, and it might make for an interesting story (of sorts). But frankly, I’m done with making excuses. I’m here, and Aminorjourney.com is back (or it’s new, depending on how long you’ve known me,…
Escaping Fire – And Reigniting Old Projects
It’s been more than two years I think since I last wrote anything on here. There are many reasons for this. Some of them are related to live in the USA, and some of them are related to the things that have been going on in my private life. There’s been a lot of…. STUFF……
It’s Been A While
For some reason, this website has been offline for a while.. and it’s not until I was installing another website (the thing I’ll be telling you all about shortly) that I realised this one was broken. In my defense, I’ve had a fairly busy couple of months. There was the whole visiting the UK thing…
OMG! The UK’s Ministry of Defence tried to hack my Paypal. (Not)
I wish I had words for this. I’m afraid I don’t. It’s badly written. They’ve tried to make the Paypal logo using regular fonts. Half the sentences make no sense whatsoever. And the best bit? The IP address given resolves back to the UK’s Ministry of Defence. I wish I had the time to follow…
On Being More Honest With Yourself…
I spent this morning looking into shared office spaces in town. Working from your living room is fine and dandy for a while, but it makes you an isolated workaholic with little or no social interaction outside your family. And that stifles creativity. Also, it means that your studio set is actually your living room. No,…
So This Week Has Sucked Thus Far… And Its Only Tuesday
I am not one to moan. At least, I try really, really hard not to moan. But this week, in no particular order: I’ve had to make two separate hospital appointments with a stroppy teenager. I’ve had to content with more massive hospital bills (despite having good health insurance). Our RAV4 EV has finally given up…
Fixing a Seemingly Dead Drive… Thanks to TestDisk
Well, that was a fun afternoon (can you detect the sarcasm?) Those who know me well will know that I do like myself a little hardware and software fun from time to time. Fun equates to getting some program or other working, learning some new snippet of computer hardware fu, or perhaps getting my (now…
Because Organists are awesome
You may not know this, but I was, for a while, an organ scholar. I guess I was okay at playing the usual stuff and I did (for many years) play organ for Church services. It, along with Starbucks barista duty, was the way I supplemented my student loan (and parental contributions)*. Anyway, a fine tradition among…
