my most recent one was meeting a very pretty girl in the town centre and inviting her to come have scones and jam and tea with me at a friend's house. it was a very nice day out, and she crossed up the path i was taking. and i took a second before i turned around and started talking to her, and she ...

Wow she seems really cool, I love how this site looks.

I ended up zooming in on this one pentax model specifically because of the grit and graininess in low light and b/w photographs it seems to have. Plus, all the extra features compared to anything else of a similar class, esp the ISO options.

I dunno when people started saying it either, its just the word I've been seeing thrown around. Google trends says there was a big spike in usage in 1980-81, tapering off to nothing by 1984. Then steady growth to a peak from 1990 to 2003, then a decline, and finally we're in an uptick of usage since ...

In the past few years there has been a trend of Gen Z (see: me) people getting into digital cameras from the 90s and 2000s. The cutoff date for the r/vintagedigitalcameras subreddit is 2010. Others flock to them because they can have a grainy, film-like look, and thats part of it for me, but you can ...

So, update:

My new website lives at https://iruyz.fr.eu.org/ , using darkhttpd on slackware 15. I have had to deal with a variety of asspains like powercuts knocking everything over and needing to reconnect to wifi, shuffle around dns, update IPs because my darn ISP doesn't give me an option for a ...

So in the past few days I took my old Thinkpad T430 and set it up with slackware 15 with the goal to host a website. So far, I've set up the box, SSH and port forwarding. So as I type this where I am sitting in Spain, I can SSH into the machine in England. I think that is super cool. I spent time ...

I saw Slowdive in Montreal with maru last week. First concertgoing experience so I'm in the club now!! I wrote a little bit about it in my trip report, but here's some more detail and some pictures.

So, the setlist was the same save for the encore. They didn't do a cover of Golden Hair like they ...

During Lent last year I stopped using my noise-canceling headphones. I felt I was using them to block my family out. I also felt like I was locking myself away too readily. I was told as much by one of my folks who was agitated I wasn't hearing when asked about something or not hearing any knocking ...

Part 2: Gravity

I’m sitting in the Costa coffee at London Liverpool Street sipping a cortado and hugging my backpack to my chest. This is the first real chance I’ve had to sit and decompress. I was out in the big cold main room of the station and ate a pack of crisps and a shitty breakfast ...

Part 1: Stencil

I was in Montreal from the 20th and the 29th. It was a gift to me from my most cherished friend maru. The following is a breakdown of the whole week and a bit, as much as I can line up and haven’t accidentally let slip my mind. Sorry if you were there and anything is out of order ...

It is the 31st of December, at the time of writing it is 9 and a half hours until January 1st, 2025. What was your year like? What are you doing today, what are you doing tomorrow? Today, I'm not going anywhere to celebrate, I'll just be spending a little time with the family again like I did during ...

That is an incredible pile of food, watermoon. Thats mushroom pepper gravy right? It all looks very good. Maybe lounging around with the one you love is good enough. the last christmas I had that was a real event is years and years behind me. But I cant say I wouldnt be a little sad about not ...

I completely forgot one very important detail: a lot of my christmas day was spent watching Ross' Game Dungeon. God I love that guy.

Here in the UK it is the 26th of December, 0135 AM at time of writing, aka boxing day. Let's reflect on what we were up to and how you're feeling right now, maybe how your week has gone.

My christmas was very small, spent with my family. I was feeling rough last week, and only just ...

over the course of the year i've listened to probably over 800 albums, by virtue of a job where my coworker keeps taking on projects that fall under my jurisdiction, constraining my actual duties little by little to the point where some days i have nothing better to do than to sit around and ...
