Thank you for dropping-by, I hope you enjoy your visit. The main content is to be found in the blog, where I discuss everything and anything, but, topics including: photography, nature, technology, food, movies, music, politics, and life in the Highlands of Scotland, make regular appearances.
I commonly write reviews of movies (or films, if you prefer). Some movie reviews are short, others will be discussed in more detail. The scope covered will be mainly mainstream English language movies from the 1930s until the present day.
About me
My name is Iain MacDonald and I live in the Highlands of Scotland (although I have lived elsewhere in the past). I use Fitheach as my online pseudonym, on this website, on Mastodon, and on Matrix. I am a big fan of Free & Open Source Software, which I use both professionally and at home.
Computing and technology tend to infuse themselves into my other interests, as once you learn some skills in one area it is convenient to use them to solve problems in other spheres.
When not tinkering with computers, I am likely to be found repairing things because living in the countryside you learn to be resourceful.
Of course, man doesn't live by SSH tunnels and kerosene vapour burners alone, so, food, as a subject, makes regular appearances, too.

A very satisfying sight.

This journey has been one of discovery, but, not in the way I expected.
After buying two 'phones and a Windows laptop (for flashing 'phones using Windows apps) I've managed to get VoLTE working on my *original* 'phone, a Moto G7 Plus.
Much of the credit lies with EE, who haven't arbitrarily disabled swathes of 'phone models in the way Three/Smarty have done. I now have VoLTE working flawlessly in LineageOS 22.1.
Anyone want to buy two 'phones and a Windows laptop?

I'm not entirely sure "Mucky Nutz" is a selling point for a mountain bike *mudguard*.

Food is just a delivery mechanism for mustard. 😋

It's been more than 12 hours since I've received a DM from "Nicole" (Fediverse Chick).
Have you forsaken me, Nicole?
