Poetic Musings
Thank you for taking this literary journey with me! Here I post personal thoughts on social issues, reflections about day-to-day living, and of course a healthy amount of stories inspired by the many games I’ve played over the years. I try to update several times a week, and genuinely appreciate the care and support of all who read these words, whether the post is fanciful or heartfelt.
The Where to Start page has great suggestions for first-time visitors, and all posts are sorted by the Categories you see in the right-side menu; feel free to narrow things down!

Of the many forms of currency available in AFK Arena—gold coins, hero's essence, soulstones, and so forth—none is arguably more valuable than Diamonds. Primarily obtained through real-money purchases and account achievements (such as completing a difficult campaign...
VMware Lockups
Recently I wrote a relatively non-technical review of some of the woes I've recently faced with my in-home server. Unfortunately, after another week of dead-ends and false-starts, I'm nowhere closer to figuring out what could be the cause of my server's problem. This...
