I’m going to go ahead and warn you up front. Anything you find on this site is the sole, 100%, personal opinion of me, the person. And I hope what you find here is of value or use to you.

Some missions start with a firefight. Others begin with a message that changes everything.
When a private protection team finds themselves cornered and outnumbered, their last call for help gets picked up by Alex Hawke and his team. The message is bleak—cut off from support, no chance of evacuation.
Guardian and her crew have a new mission: prevent a desperate rescue from becoming a tragedy… or worse. And this is one fight Shepherd Security Services won’t back away from.
But just as the smoke clears, another order comes down the line—this one from the top. Alex is to report to Ninhar Navy Headquarters on Torvalin. Immediately.
For the first time, he’ll step into the beating heart of the Confederation’s power. And whatever awaits him there… wasn’t in the briefing.
Old loyalties. New politics. And a summons that could rewrite everything.
Torvalin is the turning point for Shepherd Security Services—a tale of duty, diplomacy, and the consequences of becoming a symbol.

5:07am Yep... you read that right. I'm starting this post at five o'clock in the morning. 2025 has been an interesting year so far for me. I did not meet my writing goals for January or February, despite exceeding the monthly word counts for last year. Matter of fact,...

6:47am This may be one of my less coherent posts. I've been awake since around noon yesterday (February 5th). The reason I am still awake is that we've had a lovely storm blow through. It started raining around 9pm-ish last night and rained fairly constantly up until...

11:49pm Given the time, this will probably be another "11:59pm" post... given how much I have to discuss. So, the Linux Switch-over that I was so excited about was... largely pointless. I burned an entire week, and for all of that, the only thing I came away with was...

7:29pm This is the third post in a series chronicling my switch-over from my MacBook to an Ubuntu 24.10 install on my desktop (i.e. my former Windows gaming box). If you arrived here without reading the previous two posts in this series, you might wanna go back and...

9:27am Okay. So, this is the second post in the series about my feelings and response to Big Tech's push to get more of who we are. I'm not going to re-hash everything I wrote yesterday. If you haven't read yesterday's post, you can find it here. You should probably...

12:18pm For those of you who have known me across more than a few years, this post might surprise you. I have reached the point that I don't like Windows. It's slowly getting to the point that a more accurate statement is that I don't like Microsoft. The latter isn't...

2:40am Right, then... the first piece of news is that I have extracted the text from the January 4th post from a database backup and restored it. I grabbed the screenshot of my Writing Log that was already in my Media library a few days ago when I put up the filler...
14 January 2025
6:09pm (Eastern) I was originally going to use this text to replace the content of the January 4th post (read on for an explanation), but about eight minutes in, I figured out how to recover the post content I lost. (More on that below) When I'm owning a dumbass...

11:41pm Since I'm starting this with just nineteen minutes before midnight, this will probably end up being posted at 11:59:59, which is code for "I'm a wordy little cuss and wrote way too long and had to edit the post date and time afterwards." Right, then... moving...

5:56pm Well, we're two-thirds through the holiday season, and I hope it has treated you and yours well so far. By the by, I don't count it by a strict number of days; I count it by milestones. We're past Thanksgiving and Christmas with only New Year's remaining......
