“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Here we go again, yet another Monday to drag ourselves through and beyond… Fortunately, where I am, it is a public holiday. Unfortunately, putting one of these compilations together tends to take quite a long time, so a lot of that free time gets chewed up...

Well, it’s Monday again, and if I can somehow write that without sounding despondent and bored at the same time, then that alone will be a minor victory for the day. Days like today are just a reminder as to why weekends are so great, and so important. Of...

Coming back to work after a nice long vacation is never, ever fun. You know you have done it right, though, when you have forgotten at least one of your various login passwords – which is precisely what happened to me this morning. Fortunately, I had it written...

Yes, this is late again, and yes, I’m still on vacation, and yes, my schedule is not entirely my own. Being in Russia, it is difficult – and sometimes impossible – to access Western websites easily. Instagram and Twitter are not that difficult to...

Yes, I know, this week’s “Monday” browser killer is actually appearing on a Wednesday – so maybe we should think of this as the “hump-day special”. Hump ‘em if you got ‘em, boys – consensually, obviously. The late publication has to do with the fact that I am very...

Ah, the return of Monday – right when we’d all gotten used to the long weekend. (Fortunately, for me, at least, it is still a day off today – and I probably ought to be doing something better with my time than putting together this gigantiferous pile...

It was such a nice weekend – what the hell HAPPENED to it?!?!?! There I was, tinkering around with getting HALO: The Master Chief Collection to get it to run on my Linux Mint distribution, via Steam and ProtonDB (preliminary report: it does work with Proton...

Well, there goes the weekend, again. On the minus side, it was, of course, WAY too damn short. On the plus side, spring is DEFINITELY here, and that is my absolute favourite season of the year. It is a time of renewal and growth, where the days are getting longer, the...

Well, it’s Monday again, and honestly, after just a few hours of this crap, I’m DONE for the day. It is nothing particularly bad, but when you have dreary weather, colleagues who can’t get their shit together, and looming project deadlines, it all...

Well, it took quite a bit longer than usual, but today’s Great Mondaydact Browser Killer is finally up. The delay has to do with two simple facts. First, these things are a BITCH to put together, and second, things are getting awfully busy as we get closer to...
