Some of my final thoughts on the internet after having been on here since 1998

Note: I never use AI and never will.

Current projects:

News:

I am taking a break from writing and making music – IT MIGHT be a long one indeed, who knows?
If I start it again I may not use my real name anymore.
Most “Justin Tuijl” content has been taken offline, though I did relent to requests for some to be online for fans who asked.
Though, I have not gone into great detail on the main reasons for internet withdrawal.

I am taking a break from the internet in general.

Places I’m on the web still:

I use Duolingo to learn Scottish Gaelic: here

About this website:

in one way or another, has been around since 1998. Mostly it was a personal website that also had author and musician stuff. There were posts on travel and a lot of fiction, non-fiction, poems etc. I don’t feel the desire anymore to publish so much online. I’m a serial creator/destructor, in that, I put tons of stuff online and then delete it all again. However, I have decided to stop deleting it all as of Sept 2026.

For some crazy reason this domain name is paid up to 2033, so I might as well have a site here. Once 2033 comes, if the world hasn’t ended by then, the site will probably come to an end, maybe, we’ll see.

About Justin:

As for, “who is this Justin?” well, once that was all on here too. At one time there was a buzz that an author should put pictures of their dinner online to create engagement with the brand, really? Just because you can, should you? I don’t want to know what George Orwell had for lunch. There were once a lot of pictures on this website but I decided to only put on key pictures.

Anyway, my grandad was Dutch, hence the name: Tuijl. His wife was English.
My other grandparents were English with a Scottish name: Gunn. More about them: here

I live in the Scottish Highlands in an old church with my wife and Ragdoll cats.
