Dylan’s Blog


Hello! I am Dylan (MidnightSlicer). Welcome to my blog! This is my place to be on the internet. My home. Welcome in! This site basically contains my personal thoughts and ideas that I want to write down. I find writing to be therapeutic and it encourages creativity.

I am a software developer. I have not fully established my place in the world, but I like mobile development as well as server-side stuff. I am a open source software enthusiast and I want to spread the message of software freedom and security to everyone.

This site is still under active development!

I want to add a few more sections to this site, but this is my starting point. Realistically, I don’t think I will ever remove this section. Do you know a software developer and computer lover who can leave something be? I certainly don’t. I am currently using WordPress to make this site, but I started out using the barf template. I will continue to change this site as I see fit.

  • mnsr.win is on WordPress Now!

  • Spooky Software

    Well, it is October, the month that some people celebrate “Halloween” and dress up spooky. While I do not really like the those celebrations and don’t participate I will use the “Spooky Month” excuse to talk about spooky software. What is “Spooky Software”? Spooky Software is any application, service, or other software that does not…

  • The Darktheme Club [Outdated]

    Previously, I talked about joining the 512kb club and I mostly spoke on the attractiveness and art of making a small (in size, not in value) website. I argued that a better web is one where the user is not required to download several megabytes of bloated JS frameworks and spyware (which is a type…

  • Joining The 512KB Club [Outdated]

    I am a bit of a nerd for optimization. It is always satisfying to me when I am able to shave a fifth of a second off some operation or trivial task. I am the physical embodiment of spending 5 hours to save time on a 5 minute task. It is just so rewarding to…

  • My Experience with Computers

    Since I am just getting started on this blog thing, I should talk about a little bit of history of me and computers. Windows XP My first time using a computer for real was on an old Windows XP workstation that was liberated from a dumpster. It was (and still is, it is on my…

  • Hello World!

    Welcome to my blog! I have always wanted to have a blog of my own, and that desire was spurred on by my decision to leave social media. I love writing and I needed a place to express that love that was mine. When I became aware of open source, freedom, privacy, and all that…
