I posted this earlier this morning on Mastodon In the middle of the night I have an idea for an over due blog post: let me now cogitate and procrastinate for a while. Stew on it until the idea is overly cooked, inedible and abandoned. Or as is my won't; forgotten as my mind wanders the corridors of global madness and distraction. Let me... Here is what I was thinking about in the night. Recently I saw a post from a random person, via Bubbles I think, about the number of pages for blogs. To be…
Some renders of my recent doodle model I made. Did this one over a couple of days due to the distractions of live and the World Cup. Modelled and rendered in Blender. No commenting here, should you wish to, you can do so here Mastodon
So far this month has been a really hard one heat wise and today we finally have it a little cooler. The weather for northern Europe has been terrible, affecting transport and people in equal measures. Roads have been popping and snow ploughs have been used to spray water to try and save the damage, a new one on me. I have lived in a few hot countries, Spain and Australia included, but they are at least better prepared for the hot normalcy of summer in the high thirties. Up here in Northern…
June is already half way through and I haven’t posted anything again. I think about it, then forget about it, then think about it briefly, and then, well you get the idea. I have a lot going on outside this little web presence and the usual low key social media posting but that isn’t for today, maybe when it is all sorted I will let you all on in it, though, to be honest, I doubt it. Got to keep some stuff offline and out of the prying eyes of the corporations and their sucking machines. I am…
I started with some lined paper and ended up with a little note book. Not an overly complicated model topologically most of the work was in the texturing. Here’s the Wireframe of the mesh: And how it all started:
I needed a pen as mine ran out of ink. So I decided to make one in Blender as is my want. Parker pen in blue and steel: Parker pen model wireframe: #mbt3d #b3d If you wish you can reach me via this: Email Address
I don’t know how this affects images but I turned on: ShowFullTextinRSS: true I added this line in the config.yaml I really don’t care if it show the full post in the RSS, and personally I like that function when I am brwsing feeds. But please bare with me as I test this feature, until I get images showing as I like…

A cubical extruded cube abstraction mechanical model.
Run Brew occasionally
44 years ago I got my first computer
I have a couple of things I want to post about
Frederick Forsyth Extremely drawn out planning and background story of an overthrow of an African leader. Most of the action is in the final chapters. I enjoyed it but found it a little overly detailed and wondered when the action starts, when it did it was over quickly. ★★★☆☆ Recommended
A quick way to type halfs etc.
Added Description
Lumping everything under one type isn't good
I may change the site setup again.

I wonder if there’s a way, built into HUGO, to automatically share a post from here to Mastodon. Also wondering if I should, although it seems to me that sharing posts is the whole point of these blogs…
Blogging, Bubbles & Comments
John le Carré Post Cold War story about a couple of spies. Interesting although not particularly exciting, well written as usual. ★★★★☆ Recommended slow read
Jack Higgins First in a series mostly fine at times a little tedious. I found the main character very irritaing and unrelatable. ★★★☆☆ Okay
Themes again!
Alistair MacLean A collection of diverse, occasionally interesting and not so interesting tales. The final self indulgent ranting of the author was tiresome. Mediocre ★★☆☆☆
