Welcome to my website!

Ramblings and thoughts about tech, free software, and hobbies of my life, shared bit by bit.

Enjoy your stay here!

Hey! I'm Joel (a.k.a joelchrono). A random guy from México lindo y querido! I am a hobby collector, fake fan of many things, foss enthusiast, gamer, mechatronics engineer, and of course, a blogger

You are visiting my personal website. Here you can see some of my thoughts and ramblings about tech, gaming and other hobbies, my favorite of which is origami. I hope you enjoy your visit! Take your time and explore as much as you want, there’s plenty of sections to dive into!

I'm really into music, this text will be overwritten by the latest song I listened to if you enable Javascript, maybe something by Miki Matsubara or Daft Punk.

April 2026 Summary

Here is the media I enjoyed during the month of April! Not as many videogames as March, some great anime though, some movies watched on teathers, a few books, lots of manga, among other things.

How introverted are you?

Here I am yet again talking about myself and being an introvert, or am I at all? How about you? I don't know, just another personal ramble

Should something change?

A few thoughts I had to share on my gaming, my habits and my future. Pretty lacking in structure but that's the state of my mind sometimes.

This week in other years

The Space Merchants 📖

A science fiction book that deals with issues relevant even today, it had been a while since I've read one of those!

Cibola Burn 📖

My review for book 4 of The Expanse. Another great entry to this epic series, where Humanity is reaching for the stars, but also, they are still human

Week Notes W18

Here are my notes for the week from April 29 to May 5, 2025. Also some links to interesting things I saw.

First Contact with Emulation

This is a treasured memory of mine and I decided to write it here, my first experience with emulation.

Not a long post

I am writing a fairly long blogpost and I feel weird about it, so here is another post to compensate

Old blogposts people find

Yes, I do have analytics, and I was curious as to which posts from this blog where found most often by people on the internet, here are the results!

What Interested Me Today 4

Just another edition of this series. Random stuff that stole more attention from me than usual.

Switching to K-9 Mail, a FOSS email client

One of the most veteran apps that I have never tried ended up making me go into a search for being more productive, although I don't think it will make a difference

Support me

You can support me in many ways, either via PayPal, Liberapay or Ko-fi

I don’t use crypto personally, but if you want to give me some, there is the option too. My domain provider actually lets me renew it with that! So it doesn’t go to waste :P

Monero I only use Monero since at least its something anonymous and privacy respecting!
