It's here! The long-awaited total revamp of my website! I call it Concordance. I'm stoked. Most of the changes are, in fact, on the back-end, but they enable me to much more easily maintain my website, and in particular, they enable me to drastically expand it. Most notable for returning viewers is not only the new coat of paint, but also the new navigation bar. It's now a proper tree, with nodes and leafs, which can be as deep as I want it to be. And every page has a…

The spirit of Why Not-ism strikes again! This time I decided to simply upload my (very slim) web site from my university days, and file it under the Off-site section. It's in Norwegian and it's called simply USN (Universitetet i Sør-øst Norge, University of South-Eastern Norway). On it you will find two physics simulations written in JavaScript, one for Newton's Cannon and one for understanding various properties of transversal waves, and a series of articles and…

Say hello to a completely new page, Scribbles, currently filed under Readings! For now there's not too much there except for three small "essays" I wrote back in 2009 (to call them actual essays is perhaps to ask too much). I randomly remembered that I wrote them, and thought "why not put them up?" I also added a new section to the Links page, Gaming blogs. Currently there's only one entry, The CRPG Addict, and I'm not at all sure there'll be more links to come. In any…

Life is churning along pleasantly enough, but I don't feel I pay enough attention to my web site, which in and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I'd like for it to be worked on more frequently from time to time. And who's working on it? Well, just little ol' me! So what can I do about? Well, hopefully, just this: pushing out an update. The fact of the matter is that it's very much on my mind — a lot — and I do have plans for it — many — but... Well, no buts. I'm…

A year has gone by, and not a single update. Shame! So then, what's up? I've put my Twitch streaming endeavor on pause, but it's still on my mind. It was a sort of experiment to see how I liked it, and how long I would like to keep it up. The truth is that I love streaming, and I do have plans to continue, but there are simply too many things happening in my life these days to make it a priority. In particular (and to recap a bit), this May I finished up my Master's Thesis…

I've begun experimenting with streaming on Twitch! I'm currently doing a completionist playthrough of Assassin's Creed: Origins; check out my Twitch channel for live streams and VODs, and my YouTube channel for the archived Let's Plays. My plan is to play through a bunch of my favorite games in the time to come. Naturally, these links are also in the Off-site section of the navigation bar. My current schedule for streaming is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm CET until…

My Books page has been redesigned. Now, most of the books (or ways to browse the books) are hidden behind their own links (or "sub-pages"). This makes the page look a little small, but of course, all the real content is still there. I realize this might make browsing the books a little more cumbersome, but the page is not done yet; I just wanted to push the current (working) iteration out the door, giving myself more incentive to work on the new features, faster! What's…

I added a new section to the Books page, Universes and Series, where I split all the series into those that are associated with a universe, and those that aren't. I tried my best to do this correctly, using The Internet Speculative Fiction Database and various wikis for reference. Hopefully this makes everything a little more neat and structured. I also hid the list of authors, publishers, and books behind their own links, since the Books page itself became extremely long…
