Escaping the magic realm, a wizard goes to Melbourn Australia to try to live a normal life, but the magical inhabitants from his realm hop on a bandwagon to join him, and end up ruining everything.
Good fun. Not too great, not too funny, but light entertainment. It’s not quite bubblegum. Most especially recommended for fans of fantasy fiction, and even more so for those familiar with the Australian flavour of comedy.

This was released as three television episodes, and later released as six parts on YouTube.
- Updated GIMP.
- Updated Ventrilo.

I’d like to thank the outpouring of support for this great programmer and person. Though I did not know her myself, I feel strongly about this topic and am glad it has attracted readers.
Whenever you act as a consumer — use a piece of software, watch a video or read an article or just a comment — and it brightens your day or informs your life, please think about leaving even the smallest reply. These matter more than you may ever realize.
One moment of your writing will impact uncounted hours of a person’s future efforts. One minute of your time will brighten years for another. If all we have is kindness, maybe that’s the one thing that another might need.
If something matters to you, then you matter to it.

A PDF reader. Many people mistake this as “the” PDF viewer, but PDF is an open format, and Adobe just happens to make a popular viewer.
- While I don’t use it, I keep it in my toolkit: Win10 enGB – 2015.009.20069
- I took yesterday off to do some offline stuff.
- Chipping away at my Windows software list is a good way to check back in on and update everything.

I’m tired of IrfanView and am in the market for a replacement. (Image viewers)
- Apparently the file associations crash is a recent Windows 10 problem and is not IrfanView’s fault. To fix associations manually:
Settings > System > Default Apps.. which works for me, for now. - Tried https://nomacs.org/ and didn’t like it. Though it’s file associations worked properly.
- Tried https://photoqt.org/.. godawfully slow.
- Tried http://imgv.sourceforge.net/
- Tried https://sourceforge.net/projects/veneta-viewer/
- http://mapivi.sourceforge.net/mapivi.shtml looks old, so I don’t bother with it.
- Aww fuck it, I’ll keep Irfanview.
- I’ll have to check out http://cade.noxrun.com/projects/qvv/ [ 1 ] was http://cade.datamax.bg/qvv/ again, since it works on Windows too.
- Apparently the file associations crash is a recent Windows 10 problem and is not IrfanView’s fault. To fix associations manually:
- Watched some more The Blacklist – (2013 show). It’s pretty good, though not great. It’s slow and arrogant.
- Watched some more Stargate – (1994 movie), which I thought might be weird because it’s originating movie’s Daniel Jackson is also the actor in The Blacklist. It turns out it’s not weird at all. Good.
- Watched some more Sense8 – (2015 show)

A reboot and alternate-timeline of the series. It’s “good”, but is also the bubblegum one ought to expect these days.

A defragmentation tool for individual files.
Note that defragmentation is irrelevant with an SSD, and even with a HDD, Windows will auto-defragment if you leave it alone for a bit. For windows 8 and Windows 10, my administrative settings are so aggressive that when I’m inactive for five minutes it pokes around to see what it can defragment.

I had tested v1.0.0rc1 on Windows 8.1 a while back, for Path of Exile – (2013 game).
