The early 90s were not good to me

There’s a period of around 18 months in the early 1990s, in my life, that had a profound effect on me. I am building up the courage, remembering all the pieces, and I’m going to write it down.

It may also have coloured the memory of my father, because of his reaction and my reaction to that. I know I wasn’t to tell my mother, and my father died three years later anyway.

We have deep-seated issues that can affect our lives decades into the future. This is one example.

I haven’t decided if I’ll post it on my blog yet. I think my two Moleskines and the copy of Scrivener are about to get some action.

Wish me not luck, but peace of mind. A very scared 14 year old boy needs to smile again.

Google Authenticator Edit button bug on iOS

Something that I was struggling with recently is the Edit button on the iOS version of Google Authenticator, that doesn’t do anything. I wanted to rename the obscure AWS description, but couldn’t figure out how.

After visiting my favourite search engine, I discovered that I’m not alone.

The workaround (thank goodness there is one) is to go into Legal Information first, and then the Edit button works (thanks to Ilkka Mattila for pointing this out).

Website moved again

I’ve gone for a clean slate on rabryst.ca, this site’s official new home, after having merged and migrated my ancient website and sister blog into xqrx.com/pop. Of course that /pop/ subdirectory was meant to be temporary, and now I have a redirect file that is longer than my arm.

Nevertheless, I felt it was time to have everything in one place, with a new URL (all previous URLs should redirect magically), and no subdirectories.

Welcome, even though you should technically have never left.
