Hi, I am Floris.

  • Dealing with stuff

    Things have been going quite well the last few weeks. My intentions are to keep that up. But, it can’t always be going well. Today has been one of those days. And while I have a few blog posts in the works, the one planned for today did not get finished, at least not to…

  • Is it bloggable?

    Our brain does not stop, it just keeps putting one and one together. Ideas happen, thoughts happen, opinions happen, etc. And we have this ridiculous (yes, it’s kind of silly in a way) desire to share what’s going on inside our mind. Whether we pick up the phone, update our status on social networks, or…

  • New Fender Guitar

    Last night I celebrated my birthday with friends and family, and one of the things that I got were parts of a guitar. tl;dr It was my birthday, and my mom, dad, niece and her boyfriend spoiled me with a guitar. I got all the parts and get to build it myself now. I can…

  • Happiness

    As my dream starts to confuse me, I hear the noises of someone nearby. From the real world that is. It wakes me up and I open my eyes. I hear her breathing. I see the ceiling. That hideous lamp that I still have on my todo list as ‘get rid of that hideous ceiling…

  • Being Purposely Lazy

    *stretches* Monday yet? No? Friday? Fine… Who cares 🙂 The only thing I do today is wake up so I can go take a nap, and decide to be lazy on purpose. The world doesn’t need me, at least not today. I had a busy week, I had the flu this week. I have a…

  • So I just turned 39…

    Today marks the day that I am 39 years old, and 40 is now really creeping in. I miss being young; a teen, doing awesome stuff with my friends. Once you get homework, bills, your own place… responsibilities kick in and it feels like you’re losing that nostalgic fun I something think back to. tl;dr…

  • Picking a new TV series to watch

    In the past I’ve posted here and there that I want to watch something, am looking forward to something, or simply recommend it. Sometimes I like to pick up an old series and watch it all the way through again, like Scrubs or Dexter. tl;dr Exploring movies and tv series in January is becoming a…

  • Happy 25th Birthday Emily

    Happy Birthday to my little niece who never fails to amaze us with her wit, creativity and kindness. You really are one of a kind, and I am proud of you and honored to be your uncle. tl;dr Emily turned 25 today, wow, I can’t believe it!

  • Site Update & Content Pruning (3)

    We’re in the third week of the month and that means a little update on the site and content. I’ve really enjoyed putting my focus on my website again, it’s been a while. It allows me to think about different things and leave some of the stress and nonsense from 2015 behind me. tl;dr The…

  • How to Usenet

    It is free (sort of), and it requires a bit of effort. But once it’s setup it’s pretty easy. This article focusses on the Mac OSX by the way. tl;dr At times I think about what I do on my computer, if I still want to use it, if I can still recommend it to…

  • More drafts on the WordPress dashboard

    On WordPress sites I always have the quickdraft widget listed on the top left of the dashboard. This way I can quickly throw ideas into the queue, and go back to what I was doing. tl;dr The WordPress dashboard has a quick drafts widget. It only lists 3 draft posts, but I like to list…

  • Podcast app

    A decade ago my friends and I would love to hang out on Skype group calls. We’d be a bunch of digital roommates basically. But we’re older and have work, families, etc. Everybody’s busy posting on Facebook haha. As an alternative I started to listen to podcasts. Podcasts are a digital playlist of video and…

This blog is just a little bit of me.
