A wonderfully deep story that's engaging as it is thought provoking

Spring has very much been in full effect for a while. Between pollen being everywhere and the temperatures, generally, warming, we’re slowly making our way towards what looks to be...

I had intended to post a bit more this year having, mostly, managed a post every month or two last year. However, this year has been a bit more full...

Another year and another solo Christmas complete, it’s also been another year of change, of new feelings, and a continued desire to move forward with love and kindness. The last...

It was this blog’s anniversary yesterday. I don’t actually recall when I went live with one though I suspect it was somewhere around 2002 after I started university in Bristol....

I’ve been in the new apartment now for a little over a week. It’s weird to say it but the quiet is even more deafening with more space. Don’t get...

In just over a week I’ll be moving into my own house. It’s a big deal and, in a way, signifies another milestone post-separation. I’m not too sure how I...

It’s been a pretty busy month by all accounts. The school holidays arrived along with Easter and ANZAC Day, not to mention the run-up to election day here in Australia....

You can’t go too far in the world at the moment without there being some influence from the US and their politics. Doubly so now that we’ve had our own...

It’s been a busy month or so. I hosted a birthday party (the first on my own), the girls and I took a road trip to the beach and back...

Despite outward appearances at times, I do quite like cooking. I probably should cook more often but often it’s down to convenience. After a long day at work or trying...

So the new year has gotten off to a typically slow start. We’ve mostly just hung out, played Minecraft and enjoyed each other’s company. We did spend a lovely evening...

I find it interesting that, in life, we put a lot of weight on the future being better. Tomorrow will be better, there’s always next week, or, as I thought,...

By far the best entry in the franchise since Aliens

It’s been quite some time since I’d been to a Formula 1 Grand Prix. The last one was in 2005 though it was rather swanky in that it was at...

As far as bingo cards go, I don’t think I had any of the things that have happened in the last six months or so on mine. For the first...

I haven’t written here as much as I thought I would this year. Mostly I just kind of forgot and also reminded myself that this is really here for when...

With the watery end to the fourth Ashes test match, I feel ever so slightly sad that its outcome makes the fifth test slightly less compelling. Sure, with a win...

It’s been quite a while since I last posted anything here which is pretty typical and I’m fairly sure on the old WordPress blog there was at least two or...

So 2022 ended just over a month ago. I’ve been a little tardy in writing anything but to be honest, I didn’t particularly want to go over the vagaries of...

For some obscure reason I thought the World Cup final was this coming Wednesday, it wasn’t, it was last night. Even if I’d realised the correct day I still wouldn’t...

I was very unsure about this years’ World Cup, mostly for its hosted location, Qatar, and the very known issues it has with human rights, gay rights and, well, just...

Whilst this particular iteration of my blog is a mere six months old, I’ve had one, of some description for, heck, fifteen years at least. That being said, it’s not...

I’ve been working in IT for just over fifteen years now. One thing you understand, though, is that you forget more than you learn and that there’s always something out...

It was my birthday last week, the last one of my thirties. I’ll need to set a reminder that I’ll need to change all my social bios next year to...

It’s been a while since I’ve actually rode my bike consistantly for any period of time. I used to ride fairly regularly and occasionally added in a long ride here...

This past weekend’s Formula 1 Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps was pretty much a procession. There was a bit of drama at the start with Lewis Hamilton squeezing Alonso a...

To say I expected Liverpool to run out winners against Man Utd on the weekend is a bit of an understatement. Given the abject apathy our first two games entailed...

Well, the headline pretty much sums things up rather neatly but it was interesting in a good way. From getting this blog up and running, somewhat properly on GitHub via...

Yesterday was quite something in terms of sorting all this out. Getting the custom domain working took a little bit of effort, mostly because I missed a key point when...

Well, can’t say I’m not true to form in barely posting but hey, at least I don’t do this for a living. What I have been able to attempt is...

Been a hot second since I last posted and to be honest, not a lot has changed here. I did, however, manage to get CV and About page to appear...

One of the things I've enjoyed about messing around with GitHub pages and Jekyll is getting it to work and, more importantly, understanding how it all fits together. That includes...

This reminds me a lot of when I used to mess around with websites in the late 90’s early 00’s. It seemed that no sooner had I built a website...
