@alex_roddie @Christownsendoutdoors I've realised that I perceive controls/UI to have got worse with each and every iteration that's come since the one which I first became comfortable with.
Any new 'features' are largely wasted on me as making use of them requires a reset of muscle memory that I just can't be bothered with, while their existence seems to interfere with trying to do things they way I've always done.

I now have a top wish for a search engine. I want something that returns HTML documents. Not videos, not PDFs, not things that require me to log in somewhere I won’t have an account. Just text.

Does gopher still work?

@thefreehunter True. But old timers like myself aren’t so bothered about innovation. Frankly, games I play today are too complicated for me and my ten-thumbed hands. Plus I have no desire to go online and get schooled by some nine-year-old shit from Delaware! Just tweak the existing formula and give us new content - is that too much to ask?

Man, how I hate feeling tired all the time! Wasn't summer with all that light supposed to make me more energetic again?

Very very annoying group of students on this tram who seem shocked every time the tram takes off again, squealing and staggering around into other people. Travelling on a tram really shouldn't be that challenging people, get a grip.

In today's episode of English words that annoy me:

Fulfil.

Yes, apparently that’s the recognised spelling* despite both Full and Fill having double L’s.

* unless you’re in the USA, when it’s fulfill.

My pet peeve today is those label they sew into you clothes. They make me itch. I had a pair of underpants and a T-shirt both driving me crazy!

Retro Gaming Night tonight on Tonight I will take a look at some of what are purported to be "classics" and see what all the fuss was about. So join me as I bumble through some of the original RPGs like and . Do not hold out much hope of me becoming hooked though.

One of the things I find a bit unfortunate about British people commenting on UK politics is that while we can all agree that the burning of the Reichstag marked an extremely dark period in German history, people glibly talk about an attempt by a literal theocrat to do the same thing to the UK Parliament in 1605 as a missed opportunity.

I have tried a number of wireless keyboards over the past few years, including
- Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard
- Apple Magic Keyboard
- Keychron K2
- Logi MX Mechanical Mini
- Logi MX Keys Mini

Tried to follow this hype about mechanical kboards and am still considering Keychron K8 Pro QMK/VIA...

But looks like I am really happy with my MX Keys Mini after all and can't be bothered any more.

I have decided to blog again about real life. I find myself ranting about politics, the media and society here or in Matrix all the time still. Why not make something of them?

So the website pbmm.net is now dedicated to my half-arsed journalism.

Three articles written by lunchtime today already.
