HAVE FAITH – THERE IS NO SECURITY LIKE POCKETS JINGLING

Faith No More were one of my favourite bands in the 90’s when music was great, back when it wasn’t all just the pathetic lame bullshit it is now. I saw them in concert twice around 93. They kicked arse. Midlife Crisis is an all time great, from the album Angel Dust. Check out the […]

WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, WHICH PLATFORMS HAVE WORKED FOR ME?

Over the past year there has been a non-stop barrage of utter BULLSHIT. All “media”, both mainstream and alt, along with all the social media platforms too – just an information overload of vapid crap. There always is, but this has been an extra heavy duty barrage. Attempting to find out information, or looking for […]

FLING ALL YOUR MONEY AT ME IMMEDIATELY

This account has a bit of history on Steemit and I’ve had a few run ins with stuck up little wankers. Back in August 2016 I started going hard out on Steemit and did a lot of posting. On this account I’ve always had a take no prisoners and suck no dicks attitude, and sometimes […]

BEING SIFTY IN 2021

This is my first new blog post of 2021. I’ve been too busy to do much in the way of posts and I still am. That is mainly because I’ve been prepping for the next wave of heavy shit. That includes stocking up for another long lockdown that may potentially impede imports from UK and […]

MY MERRY XMAS MASS MAILOUT

MERRY XMAS This is one of those mass emails where I just send something to everyone on my contacts list in the hope that it makes amends for ignoring most of you for the past year. I’m sure many of you will think “oh there goes another bloody spam email” and hit delete, but if […]

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON WITH PARLER?

As part of my checking out other platforms secret squirrel operation, I tried out Parler, the latest site that people who get banned from Facebook keep going on about. There is a theory that Parler was set up by two heavily funded deep state approved programmers for the purpose of rounding up all the dissenters […]

FOR ALL THE OLD TIMERS

WHY ARE PEOPLE SO SCARED TO UTTER THE WORDS STEEM OR STEEMIT ON HIVE? Here are a few memories from “the other blockchain” “that broken old site” and “the very bad place owned by commies” https://peakd.com/steemit/@sift666/for-all-the-old-timers

WTF IS THIS? – How to write like a pro

I was looking for a draft of a post that I wrote ages ago, but I found this gem instead. I’m not sure what I was up to, but it’s too good to waste! How to write like a pro For some months I’ve been trying to get hold of a new book that a […]

CHECKING OUT THE COMPETITON

Although I’m committed to the Hive platform , I like to keep an eye on the competition – other sites that offer payment for posting. So occasionally I sign up on one, and have a look. But although some people say Hive sucks, I always end up thinking, “OK nothing to worry about here” Yesterday […]

TAKING A HUGE GAMBLE ON HIVE

Back in August 2016 I started out on Steemit as @sift666 because some prick had already taken the name @sift so I added 666 on the end hoping to sound all heavy and satanic, but it was like arriving first at a party and having nobody to talk to, and then being asked to go […]
