Have quite a few varied hobbies and interests. Not just bikes (wonder if anyone will get the reference) but also cars (currently own a Mazda MX-5, not many articles regarding those on here XD), computers, music, philosophy. Probably missed a few. I use Linux Mint 21 as my everyday operating system. Meanwhile, my Windows 11 PC is limited to gaming purposes only.

I have a number of hobbies not limited to cycling, driving, music and computing. I also love animals. Loves the colour yellow. Welcomes messages.

Currently a Linux Mint user as well as a Windows 11 user.


Also still own a genuine Windows 98 machine from 1998.(pictured below with the unofficial service pack update). It often blue screens but the retro factor makes it forgiveable. If I remember correctly, Windows only Blue Screens if a program enters the memory space allocated for another program.


My current favourite animals are geese. Having looked after a baby gosling (correct name for a baby goose) they have grown on me massively.
I started on wikiHow as I was learning to virtualise software using Oracle Virtualbox. However, there were tutorials for the newer operating systems but hardly any for the older ones. This was a gap that I filled.

The suggested tip in this article tickled me a lot whilst being a Quality Guardian.


I screenshot a lot of stuff like this but some are far too rude to share. As much as hey make me laugh, I do feel sorry for those that have to delete 'inappropriate' Articles, Edits, Tips etc
