Right now I’m writing two books at once and yes that was a terrible idea. Please avoid doing this if you at all can. One book I’m working on with a publisher, the other I’m self-publishing. Both are interesting processes, but I have noticed one colossal difference between the two: Self-publishing -> November 2012 to March… Read more »

I made $730 by selling an unfinished book for 3 days.
Saturday afternoon I decided I was ready to unleash my book on the world. Or rather, the 0.1 extremely unfinished draft version of the book. How finished do you consider it ? I’m counting 16 pages of actual content. I’m expecting a book to be a bit more work than a long blog post. /../… Read more »

Spending money online is crazy hard!
Today Spotify finally realized I am not just traveling around Europe, but intend to stay here a while. Their 14 day travel grace period lasted a month and a half and I think that’s awesome! While I was using Spotify I got so used to the service I decided to actually pay for a premium… Read more »
Using prime numbers to generate pretty trees
Have you ever tried to generate a natural-ish looking tree? I did it for a coursework assignment and turns out it’s both incredibly simple while being full of strange little twists. Generally the assignment was about manipulating 3D objects in OpenGL through user action. Otherwise known as: make a game, if it isn’t a… Read more »
