overlords…

My name is Konrad Strachan and this is my personal space for rambling / murmuring and general blogging.

I am a Linux fanatic, a Windows fan and an admirer of Apple hardware and software, but it does not stop there, I am a fan of SkyOS and ReactOS too! I like Real Time Strategy games, I like Tactical (and Ego) First Person Shooters, I like platformers, Racing, Role Playing (although I rarely go near MMORPGs) and basically any and all types of games.

ABOUT ME

I have just completed a BSci degree in Chemistry at Imperial College and I am presently taking a pseudo-year out whilst I decide what career path I wish to pursue. My blogging started a few months ago on my old site however I soon out grew that and decided to move onto WordPress. At the time I was working in a unbelievably mundane job which gave me plenty of time to research and write for my blog. Things are a lot busier now but I still do my best to keep up-to date with whats going on in the world of F/OSS, hardware, software and gaming which is what this blog is mainly focused on.

As you may have already seen from some posts, I do tend to be a bit random at times so be prepared for the occasional tangent. I am also into amateur photography so you may see the occasional picture post and when I get the time I like to go nuts and do a bit of airsofting. As you may or may not have already noticed, I tend to over-use smiles - sorry.

GUEST POSTS

I am open to the idea of having others making guest posts either on my blog, or me on theirs. The only restriction is that I carefully screen what goes on my blog and I have no interest in sponsored posts or sponsored reviews. I made a decision early on that I would not monetize any of my blogs nor accept financial contributions in exchange for favorable posts / reviews.

LINK(s) and BLOG EXCHANGES

I do not enter into link exchanges with other blogs / sites either on a paid or SEO basis. I do however enjoy finding new blogs with useful and exciting content and as a result I do sometimes add blogs

ERRATA & STORIES

If there are any errors in any of my posts please feel free to correct me! Similarly, if you have any information etc that I would be interested, do not hesitate to contact me.

COMMENTS

I welcome any and all comments on my posts - if you have something to contribute or have run into difficulties or simply want to confirm something works I would love to hear from you. The only times I will delete comments will be if I judge them to be SEO motivated or meaningless spam.

IMPLIED (or inferred) MERCHANTABILITY or RECOMMENDATIONS

Although I review products and services and write how-tos, I in no way take responsibility for their implementation or any physical (hardware etc) or nonphysical (data etc) or do I suggest merchantability for any specific purpose. Also, I am not responsible (or accountable) for any content I link to, on leaving my blog the responsibility for the content is down to the domain (or sub domain) registrar.

Basically I write for fun and in order to help people - I don’t want to be sued as a result.

Thanks for visiting!
