So, after the previous session’s trials and tribulations, I was determined to make sure the next step ran as smoothly as possible.

I’ll be using … Read More “The Linux From Scratch (LFS) Project” »

Just recently a new version of the Minecraft launcher was released. I dutifully installed it, simply to get rid of the annoying message nagging me to update it.

When I returned to Uni to study a post-graduate degree I ended up switching to a Windows 10 laptop, simply because that was all I could afford. I found … Read More “Getting Family Sharing to Work in iCloud” »

As awesome as this might sound, in normal company it’s a bit of a handicap. As a parent, you need to … Read More “Learning the “F Word” in Russian…” »
