Welcome to my slice of the WWW!

After many years of simply trolling around, I launched a simple site to enable me to contribute a little somehting back (posts to forums etc. aside). So here it is.

Understanding the imagination is no longer a pastime, but a necessity; because increasingly, if we can imagine it, we'll be able to do it - Margaret Atwood, "Why We Need Science Fiction", "The Guardian"."I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." - Roy Batty in "Blade Runner".

I don't do fancy, LOL, so no scripts or fuss.

My first experience with Android was through my HTC Hero. After running FroydVillain1.7.2-R2 - a custom ROM derived from Cyanogen 6, for a while before I upgraded my handset, I have never gone back. The rough setup guide can be found here. My stock Samsung Galaxy II didn't even run it's stock ROM. I removed it and installed MIUI 3.5. Beautiful!

I currently use a Xiaomi Note 8 Pro, with stock MiUi. Even better!
