Happy Holidays, by the way. I’ve spent today not working. In fact, I’ve done very little today other than drive to my sister in-laws, have some food, and be part of a large gathering. (Which as an introvert… has left me pretty exhausted. I really should write about that in the future). But that’s not…
Well, That was fun*
The last time I was here was some time ago.A lot has happened.I could tell you all about what’s been going on, and it might make for an interesting story (of sorts). But frankly, I’m done with making excuses. I’m here, and Aminorjourney.com is back (or it’s new, depending on how long you’ve known me,…
OMG! The UK’s Ministry of Defence tried to hack my Paypal. (Not)
I wish I had words for this. I’m afraid I don’t. It’s badly written. They’ve tried to make the Paypal logo using regular fonts. Half the sentences make no sense whatsoever. And the best bit? The IP address given resolves back to the UK’s Ministry of Defence. I wish I had the time to follow…
Darth Trump. It Is Beautiful. It Is Amazing. And We Should Share It Around The World
Because comedy is always the best way to make really scary people look like complete and utter fools. That’s what Trump is. A complete and utter fool, who has enough money to be heard. And that makes him a really scary, xenophobic fascist who needs to be shown for what he really is. After all,…

This is because this site is hosted on an old MacMini G4, complete with a thoroughly ancient spinning hard drive which has, it seems, completed its useful life in this world.…
Resurrequiem – Part of the Four Year Harvest
So, in the past few weeks, I’ve found myself talking about my previous life — as a classically-trained oboist — with several different people. And one of the pieces that I’ve never got around to sharing is Resurrequiem by Julia Usher — a piece commissioned for my final graduating recital at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.…
There’s This Book, And You Should Read It.
<Geekmode squee=”true”> The Martian by Andy Weir is one of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. I’ve read it more than once. In fact, I’m half-way through my third audio reading of it. And you need to read it because of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CumZP6_9sHU No, see, I’m serious. It’s going to be…

Smartly Using the Cloud — And Reusing Old Tech
If you’re a regular viewer to this site — and I doubt few are given the low, low Google Analytics figures for this domain — you may have noticed a new, smart theme and a few changes in the past few days. That’s because after hosting my site on an AWS instance, I’ve gone a…
