The Elder Logs

Changing the site theme to reflect my small web admiration, finally.

Quick update on where I've been...

...the not so wise.

The future of the usable web lies in its past...?

It's not just about knowing the path, but walking the path...

And nuking it from orbit: The quest for self-hosted social media

Old age is a luxury, but only sometimes.

What were they, and did I hit them?

Edges were Cut, Remix was maxed, and now we chill...

Is this the way out of Microsoft's Agentic hellscape?

Alternatives to Windows 11 are plentiful and realistically viable now...

No longer on official Ghost hosting...

Everything changes when the clock strikes Midnight...

Or how to nearly get Cutting Edge inside of two months!

Or, getting Cutting Edge while drawing my pension...

Resurrecting somebody that I used to know... Me.

And practical steps you can take to improve the protection of your personal data...

Reflecting on the end of another raid season in WoW

A month of using Ghost as my new writing platform.

A god-send for someone with ADHD and limited cognitive bandwidth...

Any better these days?

Or taking back control over your feeds and private data on social media...

Off to a huge start with fantastic sales figures after only 4 days...

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions...

Or how I came to buy a 5090...

When downtime in WoW lets you do other things...

When I chose to give Ghost a try as a platform, I was curious to see how different it was to WordPress...

So this is my first WoW post on the site, and my season is more or less complete...

This is the first article of a new era...

So, I've been on Mastodon for a week today, so is it a replacement for Twitter?

A noob's guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse. So, with Twitter having been bought over by a seemingly capricious billionaire, the future of

Let's sit and have a chat, because there are some glaringly serious issues with them...

The unthinkable has finally happened. The first split in the armour, the first leak in the dam. Is it too little too late though?

Because of course, as soon as I make one decision, another gets made that redefines the situation...

What happens when a beloved game becomes so bad, you don't know if you should keep playing regardless in hope of a brighter tomorrow, or call it a day?

So, another guild, another collapse due to recruitment issues. What now?

Oh, how I await the Google SEO results on that particular headline...

Final Fantasy 14: The pros and cons, what's better and what's worse from a Sprout's (new player's) perspective.
