    In July 2015, the first version of Endless Sky was released. Ten years later is the perfect time to pick it up for those who haven’t already!

    I recently spotted a re-edition of a childhood favourite boardgame of mine on the shelves of a toy store. Finally, I didn’t buy it, fearing lack of interest on family side. Imagine my delight when I instead found this little indie game called Spediteur which does pretty much the same!

    Similar to shareware, which used to be distributed free of charge in order to find buyers for the full version, the creator Juan J. Martínez gives away Dawn of the Kernel on his website – just like some other of his retro games – and doesn’t earn a cent from it at first. However, his games are so [...]

    The mobile age lead to the huge breakthrough of puzzle games. Suddenly, everybody was arranging coloured shapes for no particular purpose other than the inherent challenge of it. Much earlier, after Tetris, everyone had already been looking for “the next big thing” in the genre. It didn’t turn out [...]

    Recently we turned off arXiv’s legacy search endpoint, https://arxiv.org/find. It was deprecated in 2018 as part of a server migration initiative. Its replacement, https://arxiv.org/search/, was introduced in 2018. The decision to retire the legacy /find endpoint is part of migrating arXiv to the cl [...]

    This post has two interesting aspects: It will disappear when it’s finished what it set out to do, and it’s also a fundraising for another fundraiser. This is the 20th anniversary of the BBS Documentary, my 2005 released DVD box set. The work was always open licensed and it can be downloaded very ea [...]

    This first paragraph is a paradox. I want you to go to a funding campaign and click on a button and support a project. But the project is one that expects you to be the kind of person who loves reading. I personally think there might be a slight amount of people who don’t have […]

    One can choose to focus on the car crash, or the lessons learned from the car crash. Let’s do a little of both. The proposition of the Living Computer Museum was initially simple, and rather amusing in a Slashdot-baity sort of way: You could apply to get an account on a real, actual ancient Mainfram [...]

    Imagine, if you will, a vast river. It flows fast, so fast that when you look away and look back it’s in many ways an entirely different river, not just a slightly different one. It used to be blue with an occasional brown or black. Nowadays, it’s basically brown and black and a signficant amount [… [...]
