Previously, on this blog, I have mentioned Mastodon – the free and open source social network that is akin to Twitter. The more keen-eyed reader might have also noticed that my username on Mastodon was @lychee@mstdn.io If you have never heard of Mastodon before and wonder how it’s different from Twitter or Facebook, then you…

Fuck the Tories.
This year is the first time in an election that I haven’t voted The Green Party of England & Wales. In a way, I feel sad about this. My vote is counted in a part of the country where there is traditionally a Labour Party stronghold and the next contender would be The Conservatives, who…

Back to basics
For a while I felt like I was spending way too much time staring at my mobile phone. From the minute I would wake up in the morning, to going to bed at night, I clearly was addicted to the bright lights of the screen. This was confirmed when I installed ActionDash on my mobile.…

An update on Otto the seagull
It doesn’t seem that long ago since I took in a baby seagull and started to feed it every day. Three times a day. And mop the basement floor twice daily. Taking in the baby bird, which my wife named Otto, required a good amount of dedication to ensure the basement didn’t smell like a…

So Cow

Links of the week
This week, where highlights include playing Android: Netrunner with my friend Tor for four hours straight and carefully positioning a drinking glass between my cat’s bottom and the litter tray in order to catch some pee, I read some news online. I don’t even know if I need to explain any more. Everyone has hobbies,…

Zcash – it’s like Bitcoin, but private
When I was younger I remember an old friend of my dad’s came to the house. It was back when you accessed the internet via a dial-up connection and spending time on the internet meant that you couldn’t make phone calls. The man in question was holding a pink pig. Not a real one. A…

Links of the week
People like pictures, right? I’m going to try and make future links posts a bit more colourful than previous ones by throwing some pictures in there – maybe some alternative styling along the way. The meat of the post will still be links, but the pretty pictures will make it more digestible. Speaking of digestible…
