This is a personal blog (and frankly, a kind of online notebook) on everything that interests me as a self-proclaimed geek... science fiction, music, electronics, D&D, computer games, writing, and any other fad-of-the-day...
Blogger limitations
Blogger is a bit of a weird beast, and me adding a dedicated landing page may not have improved things. Anyway, here are some tips:
Topics / Filters (the landing page at https://www.ninelizards.com)
- The layout depends on your device (mobile / desktop) and if you forced the desktop site. The functionality is the same.
(click image to enlarge)
- Clicking / tapping the 'armadillo' will take you to the latest blog entry, auto detecting your device, unless you've forced desktop mode
- On the landing page (topics / filters) you can click any of the images, and that will set the filter and show the blog:
- The search function is only available on the 'desktop' version of the blog
On a mobile device (mobile version of the blog)
- Tapping the 'header' will show all posts:
- Tapping an entry on the list will bring up that specific post
- Tapping an image inside that post will typically show a larger version of that image
- The drop-down menu below the header will give you access to specific pages, or return you to landing page (topics / filters)
On a PC (desktop version of the blog)
- On the landing page (topics / filters) you can click any of the topic images, which will take you to the blog
- The search box is shown below the signpost sign:
- When viewing the blog itself don't click on the image, but instead click on the post's title or on the 'read more' line (if there is one)... I'm fixing this, and you can click on the image on the newer / later entries, but that doesn't work (yet) for all posts.
So, if you don't end up where you expect to be, look for a 'read more' line!
- Clicking the 'signpost' icon returns you to the landing page (topics / filters):
The Personal Stuff - About me
I write bad fiction. In poor English. At one time I had the illusion that people would visit my BBS, my homepage, my Blog, but since then I've gone over to the dark side and embraced reality: these notes are just for myself.
In all other aspects, I'm just like a normal person.
I also (re)build my own kitchen, paint murals, suffer two daughters, work for a technology company, and pay my taxes (unless I can avoid them). I do like gadgets and reading / watching / listening to science fiction. I watch an unhealthy amount of 'cult' television series (anything from Supernatural to Fringe to Farscape, from Doom Patrol to VR5 to... well, whatever comes up next).
I also try to solidify some of my thoughts in irregular columns, with a distant suggestion of success. That is to say: even diarrhea solidifies after a while...
This is a multilingual blog, though it is predominantly in English. If a post is in more than one language I typically start with the English version. Headers in English sections are blue, and the headers in Dutch sections are red.
Please note that I am NOT a native English speaker, so there will be more than enough mistakes in my writing... Please accept my apologies upfront.
