    Well, that was quick, wasn’t it? I tried Quartz for like two weeks and now I’ve ended up hosting my own WordPress site, lol. Seems like as time has gone on I just want something a bit more convenient. Why move to WordPress? With the uncertainty surrounding social media, I’ve been wanting a place to…

    I want to keep using LibreOffice (specifically Calc, its spreadsheet app), but the constant hitching and lag on Windows is annoying enough that I’ve had to move to OnlyOffice. Furthermore, and I don’t know if this is LibreOffice or a limitation of the ODS format, but if you try to set a conditional formatting formula’s…

    Pretty good video explaining how moving away the Apple ecosystem is not that frictionless, especially when there are things that can be considered dealbreakers. I relate a lot to how bad it was for Arun to go for a non-Apple smartwatch, as my Apple Watch has been immensely helpful for dealing with the worst parts…

    EDIT 2026-06-16: With my move to WordPress, I’ve updated the post in areas. These edited portions are highlighted in yellow. Also, a Windows update seems to have fixed the bug I had with Apple Music having start-up and playback stability problems. I am a music hoarder collector – my MusicBee library will hit 50,000 songs this year…

    I have a very eclectic music taste, but I do circle around EDM in particular. Lately, however, I’ve been branching out into metal, and recently I wanted to specifically get into the extremer forms of metal. While my EDM tastes still reign supreme, metal has also been screaming alongside it, particularly its extremer forms –…

    Why did I make this three months late? ADHD, that’s why. Anyway, I’m not going to mope about how bad 2025 was (beyond the description, at least), I think everyone has said or heard something about that. What I want to do is share some things that I really liked from last year, whether they…
