Welcome to my Blog
In talking with my therapist, I figured it would be beneficial to keep a diary - and since I'm a technology nerd, a diary is just far too archaic and I'll simply forget to write in it. So here - have a blog!
My Thoughts
This is a diary of my thoughts, opinions and events going on in my life. At the end of the day this is not for anyone but myself. I have not told anyone where to find this blog so if you stumble across it, please, enjoy my rambles. I've also attached which song I've been listening to as I've written each of my posts. Give them a listen!

The Good Life
April 24, 2024 · Ryan Walpole
April has been a crazy month. I don't think I've had a month like this in years, if I'm honest - which isn't really that crazy, seeing as some things I view as recent are almost two...
I got 20 minutes.
March 7, 2024 · Ryan Walpole
I've got 20 minutes. That's about 20 minutes more than I've had to even think about writing in my blog since my last entry. But 20 minutes is 20 minutes, so let's see what I...
Schnitzels and FPS games... like 2018
January 17, 2024 · Ryan Walpole
Since my last entry I've just been taking the year slowly and surely. I decided late last year that I needed to give myself a bit of break. I've been burning myself out on life lately...
About last year...
January 9, 2024 · Ryan Walpole
Despite my self-set goal of posting at least one blog post a month for the year, I wrote my last post for 2023 in October. So what better way to start 2024, than to recount the la...
What I learned in 2023.
January 7, 2024 · Ryan Walpole
Last night I was doing a PF2 campaign run by Lyle with Birb and Onyon. It was good fun, for Onyon's birthday after all. Once we finished (at the half way point of the campaign)...

How is it October?
October 6, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
In my last blog post I ranted about my plumber... well hell, didn't that go to absolute shit at the speed of light. A few days after my last post I went to the Henty Machinery...
Frustrated
September 14, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
Last entry I posted I talked about how I was struggling to get rest and that I felt like I was constantly worn down to the bone. Truthfully, this seems to have worsened despite...
Quest for rest
September 6, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
I've been burning myself out a little bit on life this past month in particular. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, really. I'm working a full time job, I have a long-term serious...
Heartstopper.
August 22, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
I refuse to go a month without posting on my blog, no matter how busy I am. I made that commitment when I started this blog late last year. Some months I've posted multiple time...
It's my birthday
July 7, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
I've been slack on the blog posts this last month or two but I promise you it's for a good reason! The truth be told, I've been busy writing another blog! Rather a digital journal...
Half way through 2023
June 7, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
How the fuck is it already June? Like seriously, it feels like I was clearing people out of my life in an attempt to start fresh like, yesterday, and now it's fucking June? What gives...
Medication struggles
May 24, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
Not sure how it's already been basically two weeks since I wrote my last post but... fair enough, I guess. Time is a strange thing. This last two weeks I've spent roleplaying on...
Bad friendships.
May 12, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
It seems to be the year of cutting toxic or inconsiderate people out of your life, at least, it is for me. In December I cut ties with a friend of many years because of their toxic...
25 G+Ts Later...
April 26, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
Today I write this from my office, while waiting for files to move to new hard drives after the lightning strike damaged some sectors on the existing NAS. It's Wednesday and...
Finally got some sleep
April 12, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
It's been a hot minute since my last blog post because I've been excruciatingly busy this past couple weeks. First weekend of April I spent the day "smoodging" the...
Office go bang
March 23, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
This last week has been a wild rollercoaster. After my last post, I finished the rest of my work week and released a new program on Friday. It lets you turn a website or web-ba...
Scream VI and a lack of sleep
March 15, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
I can't believe it's already half way through March. Absolutely bizarre, this year seems to be going really quickly. This month has had some up and downs but it's...
Lighting fires and digging holes
February 28, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
Well, February went quickly. I've been a tad slack at writing blogs this month because it's been busy so I guess I'll start with the most interesting things to happen this month...
House update!
February 8, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
The engineering for my house is nearing completion. They had to move a door 300mm to the right on the plans to add a column for the mezzanine floor. Truth be told, I wante...
That's a wrap on January
January 31, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
I decided last year that I wanted to do a recap post on this blog for every month of 2023, and since today is the last day of January I figured it was a solid opportunity to do so. Jan...
New Music and Old Projects
January 25, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
Earlier this week I stumbled across some old screenshots of my Noba OS project from 2021 and 2022. I could not believe when looking at them how far the project has come. I...
The universe works in mysterious ways.
January 19, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
Wasn't going to write a post today since I only did one like, yesterday, but I had some fun things happen today and I've been locked in some deep thought. Tod...
I feel creative today.
January 18, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
Yesterday I posted a bunch of screenshots on Twitter of all of my awesome friends' Minecraft buildings and stuff. It's made me feel creative and ready to j...
How do you even name these things?
January 14, 2023 · Ryan Walpole
It's 2023! What does that even mean? Well just this past month has been one of the most peaceful and drama free months of my life with plenty of fun tim...
2022
What I learned in 2022.
December 22, 2022 · Ryan Walpole
2022 was a year of friendship, fun, exploration, straying from the formula, hard work, sweat tears and blood but most importantly love and self love...
