Friendship has ended with Mastodon... Not really, but I'm on Bluesky now.

I’m on Bluesky now, my handle is @realja.me so go follow me.

Random thoughts about Surface hardware (RIP Microsoft's phone line, again)

Permanence on the web

Stuff goes down on the internet a lot. Sometimes it makes me sad.

Learning a new language: Toki Pona

I’ve been learning Toki Pona for the last week. It’s a really interesting language.

Musing on a bundler for old Roblox projects

I’ve been thinking about if it’d be worth it to make a tool that can make it easier to distribute versions of my games for both the Novetus and Only Retro Roblox Here launchers. Specifically, this tool would manage the game’s assets - the images, music, and other media.

Why I'm using the (unofficial) Youtube Music desktop app

Maybe it’s weird I use YouTube Music in the first place? lol

Surface Pro 4 random info

Here’s some random tips about the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 I have that I want to note down. Like random hotkeys and stuff.

Saving drafts

Sometimes I have a fragment of a thought about something. Like my mind has a point to make, or I just have the idea for something slightly poetical or writing-y.

2 Opera 8 quirks with the simple layout

I was testing this with Opera 8. I wasn’t sure which version the DSi browser was built on (my target when making this layout), so I just went for the lowest one, and a bit lower to be safe: Opera 8.

Thinking about the simple layout

I think it’s kinda funny that I am motivated to make this alternate version, but not to actually write posts.

Website snowstorm effect

For the holidays, I added a simple snowing effect.

I'm joining Bookwyrm 📖

I said I’ve been getting back into reading books. Now I’m on Bookwyrm, so you can keep up with what I’m reading, because I keep being lazy about writing posts for them. 🙏

Spooking Out 1 year anniversary!

November is upon us! Did you have a good Halloween? And are you aware that Spooking Out, the 2010 Roblox game by me and a friend, is now a year old (give or take a few days)?

Writing without smarts

I’m not (currently) a full-on writer in my eyes, but I still write a lot of blog posts, and essays in school. I’ve noticed I use writing apps that come without any “smart” features like spell check, auto correct, etc. But is it really a good thing to have?

CLICK TO TEN

Can you do it? Click to Ten is a game I found on my friend’s Steam profile - he only had 1 minute of playtime, yet he told me he beat it! How can that be? Is it really that easy to click to ten?

Thoughts on corru.observer (it's very cool)

corru.observer is a very strange website. It’s an interactive story that’s part 3D game, part visual novel, part website. Hypertext fiction at its finest.

Jailbreaking a Kindle Voyage and installing KOReader

I love my 2014 Kindle Voyage, actively been using it for almost 10 years now. But after finding out update support ended a while ago, why not finally jailbreak it and install more open and featureful e-reader software?

Installing the latest Ruby with rbenv on Debian

I decided to switch from running Ruby natively on Windows to WSL, because Ruby on Windows is pretty bad. Installing the rbenv tool to manage multiple versions of Ruby is simple, but in order to add (by compiling) a Ruby version, there are a few dependencies to install.
