Games I Didn’t Blog About

This blog has been incredibly quiet lately – but now that I’m done with the diploma thesis (yay), I can come back and start blogging semi-regularly again. First though, I will make catchup posts until I feel I caught up. First, games. There were plenty of new games I tried. Let’s have itsy bitsy tiny [...]

WordPress 2.7.1

Thanks to MySQLDumper, I got around the timeout issue that my database backup had. And with a database backup, I dared upgrade my WordPress. So here goes nothing, with a shiny and new haslo.ch that looks just like the old one If you notice any issues, I’d be glad about a comment here. The FTP [...]

Blog: Not Dead Yet

The Crisis of Credit Visualized

My concussion and various broken bones are getting better by the day, and I went back to properly reading and learning for Uni — I hope to have finished the book my diploma thesis will be about (still Being No One by Thomas Metzinger) in 2-3 weeks. Anyway, something completely different: The financial crisis explained [...]

StarCraft TBG Strategy: Wrapup

Prelude – Orders – Protoss – Zerg – Terrans – Wrapup Here it is, the final post in this series on possible strategies in StarCraft TBG. The volume of these posts only came natural when I tried to pack as much info as possible into them – the game offers so much depth and breadth [...]

StarCraft TBG Strategy: Terrans

Prelude – Orders – Protoss – Zerg – Terrans – Wrapup The last of the three race posts, for the race that maybe should have come first – after all, the Terrans are the SciFi humans every SciFi world needs. They’re descendants of today’s humans, too. Which I find somewhat boring, I’m a human in [...]
