Here you will find various writings on subjects which I deem interesting enough to write about. That typically includes
web development, miscellaneous programming with python and the Godot game engine, and linux things.
Despite my general dislike for the overcomplicated front-end frameworks, I have found myself on about 3 occasions now thinking they could possibly be an easier
way of tackling a particular problem.
During a small window of not-much-going-on at work, I decided to finally give some of them a try. After …
As a web developer, I like to use less and typescript to make css / javascript a little nicer to work with. Even nicer still is to have a process

The Ludum Dare results came in, and I did kinda better than last time.
I have a more detailed breakdown this year so you can see how well I ranked in each category.
For the unfamiliar, Ludum Dare is a 48 or 72 hour game jam. The organisers announce a theme and begin a countdown, then you have either 48 hours to create a game by yourself and enter it into the "Compo", or 72 hours to work in a team of any …
