If (somehow) you're a regular reader of this blog, you may still be reeling from the length of breadth of one of my relatively recent posts, Automating LibreOffice with Perl and UNO. Well, sometimes I do things like this in Perl, and I feel like sharing them, but not necessarily …

New VIGoV website - Farewell to Wordpress!
Wow, everything's suddenly looking very different, isn't it? Well, the reason for that is that I've done something I've been meaning to do for a long time: I've ditched Wordpress!
Now don't get me wrong, Wordpress is a fine platform, but it's not really suitable for a site like this …
read moreDear God, has it really been five years already?
According to the calendar, it's been five years today since Portal 2 was released. Since two of those years were leap years, it's seemingly been on the order of exactly 521 weeks. Well, let's see… Yep, it's been a hell of a five years!

read moreSubatomic Particle Simulator now on GitHub!
Well, I have just spent an entire weekend using Windows, amounting to probably more hours than I had spent with this operating system in the previous six months! Of course, this meant that I had to endure loads of automatic updates, their drain on bandwidth and automatic restarts! It was …
read moreRelease of Source Code of Subatomic Particle Visualiser
Well, this is kind of embarrassing. In October, I implemented the GNU Scientific Library as part of the science project I mentioned in the previous post. Since I was working towards an actual deadline, I guess I was too hurried to thoroughly check what licence the GSL uses. Apparently, I …
read moreMy return to the blogosphere
The time has come for me to return to this blog and explain my absence for the last few months. I was spending a lot of time working on a project for a prestigious science and technology exhibition. As such, between that and school work, I had basically no time …
