A random idea is just something that pops into your head, maybe while doing something completely different, and for the moment you just think it’s the most awesome thing ever. What do most of us do with those kind of ideas? You either completely forget about them or ignore them for their insanity You write [...]
If you’re a spammer, please go ahead, spam me for I am listening at bit-bucket@deathy.info Even added as mailto for your parsing convenience. Yes, it’s an experiment and the only failure would be to not get any spam. Like that could happen for any publicly displayed email address The interesting bit is how fast and [...]
Crikey! I just climbed out from under my rock and realised I have not updated this since they invented sliced bread… You would not believe that I actually have a life. Please don’t abandon me!.

Time constraints: couple of hours, 24h, 48h, up to a maximum of 1-2 weeks. Why do I like them so much? Because you get down to the bare essentials [...]
