It's A Blog

You all said I needed to make a blog so I made a blog.

But I made a website as well, here are cool games made by Fedi people and here is information on the PRS-505 eReader.

It's probably about time I made a list of the posts I make on the fediverse that I keep looking for whenever someone asks hey Dan you had a thread about this.

Posts From The Blog

This ain't fedi, some of these have “Read More” links so make sure you ignore those. I'll make this pretty one day maybe.

More PRS-505 updates

I was using Calibre the dumb way and I was telling you all to use it the dumb way too, into the shame bucket with me, check the updated PRS-505 Calibre guide.

That Damnable Sexy Mousetrap

The one and only post I ever plan to do on AI.

No seriously, if something new happens that I can make fun of then I'll just come back here and update this one post. AI sucks all the air out of the rest of the internet, here it'll be contained.

This was originally a thread on Fedi, but I'm putting it here for ease-of-postingness. It starts off with me being pissed off with google and also pissed off with Proton because they were merrily stuffing their websites full of AI shite that nobody wants. The thread devolved quickly into a shitpost and part of a system of shitposts that comes with a content warning for repeated grievous genital injury

Update to the Vintage Sony Ereader bit

Updated the Vintage Sony E-Reader guide/section, because after bloody WEEKS of frustrating experimentation, constantly corrupting my SD card, searching fifteen-year-old forum threads and trying to find workarounds and procedures for managing large book collections without, like I say, Constantly Corrupting My SD Card, I finally figured out that I've just gotta repartition the card down to 4 gigs (which is only enough for about five years' worth of reading 😥) and that completely solves all the SD card related problems lol

Banging on about my cool vintage ereader

A cool thing about a website that's both pancakes and a tree is that I can make a branch about my cool old vintage ereader, and then slap down a pancake on your plate that has “GO LOOK AT THE COOL OLD VINTAGE EREADER” iced on it and you can eat both.

It's legit one of my favourite physical things, and it's stuffed full of my favourite stories. And I bought a job lot of them off eBay so I can give my favourite things, full of my favourite things, to my favourite people.

Little joyjobs like this are why it's so fucking great to be able to fix things. Maybe I'll write some blog posts on fixing things! On this website that is called Dan Fixes! :-o

The nerve. The fucking AUDACITY

I asked the beasts of the Fediverse “Hey Fedifolk, should I do a blog,” and they all said “Yes Dan of course you should.” Granted, some of those people were saying that so that my posts would go outta their timeline and onto a different website where they didn't have to see it, but even so, democracy won, here's a blog, I hope you're satisfied.

As an apparently blogger, in the year 2025 when we have social media and Fedi and all these other easy shared ways of shouting into a bag it seems honestly arrogant to make a blog.

A whole website? Just for you? Don't want to share a domain name with anyone? Special boy? Your opinions are clearly very important?

Well, here we are. I try to bring an energy of humility to my Fedi posts, but honestly that's just because I'm typing on my phone. Not gonna blog on my phone, of course not, that's a desktop activity like booking plane tickets, my precious opinions are desktop computer levels of significant. I've got a split ortholinear Dvorak keyboard here, it's got loud clicky switches so you're gonna get loud clicky posts, torrents of shit pouring out the ends of my sleeves and through a wire over to a dedicated server in Germany because apparently I'm just that pleased with myself.

Welcome to my bloghole. I promise I'll… try to resist the urge to make it like a lot of other fortysomethingwhitecomputerguy blogs I've been looking at lately, because they all follow a template that's very easy to fall into, where you fiddle with a blog more than you post in it:
