My NaNoWriMo 2025 Results
December is here again! That can only mean my latest NaNoWriMo attempt is over. Now, before I go on, I’m fully aware that the official NaNoWriMo site is gone and everything, but I still follow the tradition in general regardless. I never really saw the NaNoWriMo event itself being tied so tightly to that organization.…

My Third Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo
November has arrived once more, and it’s that time of year all over again. Just as I did last year and the year before, I am once again throwing my hat into the ring and working on NaNoWriMo. As usual, if I’m going to do this again, there are going to besome ground rules. A…

When Convenience Works Against Us
Here’s a hypothetical. Let’s say I developed an Android app for you to use. You can download it for free, and I give you two options on how you would rather have the app work: Great, now I’ll give you some time to sit back and decide if you would rather have option 1 or…

In case anybody doesn’t remember, I stopped using my old one because it became so bloated with information that didn’t quite matter to me. Instead of scrapping the idea altogether, I decided I just wanted a fresh start…

My NaNoWriMo 2024 Results
That’s another NaNoWriMo in the books. As I stated one month ago, I wanted to try NaNo for another consecutive year in a row. I tried using my 5 AM Club time for it once again, dedicating my 20 minutes of growth time each morning to writing in the novel. While I did attempt to…

Make macOS Feel More Like Linux
I have a confession to make. While I love Linux and prefer to use it, I haven’t used my openSUSE workstation in the past few months. My reliable ThinkPad has been collecting dust at home. While I am still free to use my tried and true Arch Linux machine at home, my new job’s network…

Another Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo!
Costumes are coming off, seasonal candy is on clearance, and el Dia de los Muertos is underway. That can only mean one thing: November is here once again, and that means National Novel Writing Month is back. Longtime readers may be getting deja vu looking at this title. However, it’s no mistake. I will once…

Searching for a Perfect Linux Calendar App
I’ve been trying to deal with a few more matters related to my productivity as of late, especially considering I’ve had a rather eventful July and August. So many things have been happening, and I’ve needed to find better ways to stay productive. I used to time block on paper a lot more often, but…
