Blogs

I recently came across an interesting idea from one of the oldest blogs on the internet to back up my blogs to a public GitHub repository. This is the why and how.

This is an excellent read for any of you operating system nerds out there. The author compares the architectures of both Windows NT and Unix.

Macs have been my primary computers for decades, but I have also had the occasional Windows PC. These are some screenshots from them.

Microsoft’s new version of Outlook for Windows has seen its fair share of criticism, but one omission is just shocking in 2024.

A little while ago, I stumbled upon an interesting project whose goal it is to emulate the Apple II DeskTop environment in the web browser.

I had the idea to write a post about the editors and IDEs I have used over the years. These are the ones that stood out to me and why. Screenshots included!

Stirrings in The Black House is another very interesting take on the traditional ghost and haunted house trope. It is definitely worth a read.

Ever since I was old enough to understand what ghosts were, I have had an enduring fascination with the paranormal and horror in general. This is a self-reflection on this interest.

I’m happy to announce that the stories section with the first public domain stories is finally online and available!

Ghost Eaters is a novel I finished at the beginning of 2024 and I thought it was worth writing about because it was a unique take on the ghost story genre with a great twist at the end.

Ever since I was a young child, I’ve been fascinated with tales of ghosts, vampires and all sorts of other horror subgenres. In fact, it’s rare that I read any fiction that isn’t a horror story of one kind of or another which is why I’ve decided to start this blog.

My son has fallen in love with a pair of my heeled boots which has consequences for me!

This is a fairly long, but interesting discussion about gender norms and fashion.

Since men wearing skirts, heels, tights and other gender-non-conforming clothing is closely related to the topic of gender, I would like to know if you would like more content on gender as well as the usual program of skirt-related posts.

I recently wrote about my first time wearing a skirt in front of my parents, so I thought I would write about my first experience wearing a skirt in front of my mother-in-law.

It’s been a while since I published my last post, so I thought I would show a sign of life here. My skirt-wearing journey has continued full throttle but unfortunately, the time I have for posting has dwindled.

This is a great article written by a man in his 40s who went out in public in a skirt for the very first time.

Secret societies, like the notorious Illuminati, have long fascinated people worldwide, their influence extending from history into today’s popular culture.

Today I am excited to announce that after a number of years of lying dormant, History Rhymes is finally getting a new lease on life. 

Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated after the end of the First World War, but that is generally when he exits the stage of popular history. So what happened to him? What did he do in that time? This article aims to explore some of these questions.

It is hard to believe that an entire decade has elapsed since I published my first History Rhymes blog post entitled “Starting Out.” A lot has changed in the past ten years and I have big plans for it for the future.

The rule of the Bavarian kings ended with the German Revolution of 1918-1919 in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The royal family became enemies of the Nazis and had to flee Germany, but never gave up the dream of restoring the monarchy.

History Rhymes has been picked to be featured in an editorial by Tutorful called “History Lovers: Awesome Websites and Resources To Cure Your Boredom”.
