I really should get back into writing more blog posts, but you can tell if I'm alive by reading my built-in Mastodon feed.

(I did say I'll still be more active on Mastodon.)

My band's latest song, "In Control" is now out, and is slowly becoming available on music streaming services.

If you're into Roselia from #BanGDream / #バンドリ, feel free to check it out. We were originally a part of the Fandori Project.

Just did five multiplayer lives in #Bandori. I did not appreciate having to go through "Alive" three times in a row.

After a pretty topsy-turvy week weather-wise, it is a pretty nice morning to be out right now.

I don't think being a linux user TODAY is as hard as it was before. Years ago would you have to read a lot of system administration stuff (terminal, etc) swap TTYs if your XORG froze or X11/NVIDIA driver crashed the whole thing.

Today? I barely lift a finger.

Please let the Royal Kludge RK84 be the last keyboard I'll ever need. It's a massive upgrade from the RK61, which is already a good keyboard in itself.

I'm not going to get too angry on my birthday, but if these obsolete Windows machines are more powerful than what I own, installing Linux Mint will guarantee a new lease on life.

Prospective gamers on tight budgets, students in South America and Africa... They'll benefit from these machines.

I'm finally binge-reading "'Tis Time For Torture, Princess" (legally via Manga Plus), and the Hell-Lord of the demon world is arguably the amongst the most moral (and wholesome) fictional characters to ever exist.

本当に暑いですね! It's one week too early for summer in the southern part of Australia, and over a month too early for Biderap (the Dry Season in the Kulin Nation seasonal calendar) in Melbourne.

linux is really easy to use when you accept that it's not windows

Thank goodness for the clouds today. The heat is somewhat tolerable right now.

The American public and the Senate Judiciary Committee deserve to see the Matt Gaetz report.

Repost if you agree.

Screenshot of my main #ArchLinux desktop machine, with the obligatory #Neofetch. The character featured is Lisa Imai of the semi-fictional band Roselia from the #Bandori multimedia franchise.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

Absolutely perfect weather for a coffee after my morning shift.

Btw, if you're in #Melbourne, #Australia, go check out Johnny's Golf in Hawthorn, near #SwinburneUniversity.

Good thing I managed to sign up for an account pretty early on, eh?

I'll still be using Mastodon as my main social network, but I'll be posting more often here.

First post here. I'm still more active over on Mastodon (famichiki.jp/@RBurn_Ave_Z... ), but I might drop a couple of posts here from time to time.
