I just wanted to share this extremely realistic Finnish driving simulator, My Summer Car, as narrated by its Finnish creator. This really brings me back memories from my youth, even though I never got around to buying my own car, and I wasn’t in that exhaust smelling gangs myself. But driving aimlessly around in the […]

HOWTO: Use polytonic Greek in Slackware
I’ve been using polytonic Greek in a few of my earlier essays at the University, mostly to either correctly determine which term of Aristotle’s I’m hinting at, but also in relation to modern German philosophy (both Hegel and Heidegger refer to Platon and Aristoteles for instance). I set this up on my laptop that’s running […]

Introducing Back in a minute blog!
Last year, having finished my CD-to-FLAC automation script called FLACRIPPER, I jumped head first into my next project: Create a fun game that is completely written in BASH. I started out with these ideas: It must be quick …but also vast, if you want it to be It must be a full world (have a […]

Linux Format is, like every other societal institution, defined by the people running it. Now, the people […]

FLACRIPPER released! (updated)
I am going to be ripping a whole lot of CDs in order to digitize my CD collection (500+ CDs). I want lossless or close to lossless FLAC files of every single one. But I am lazy. And the GTK based rippers are slow and cumbersome (i.e. require my attention). Why not just drop down […]
Where is the Pirate Bay?
Since the LOL funny press release at 8:45 pm today, people seem to think that The Pirate Bay has moved to North Korea. In fact, if you run a traceroute on thepiratebay.se the last IP address you’ll hit is 175.45.177.217. This is probably a routing trick, I think TPB would never risk putting themselves on […]
