...what has happened to Nicklas 'Nifflas' Nygren(?) Something like ten years ago I was a big fan of his computer games Within A Deep Forest and Knytt. And one important reason were the ambient soundscapes on those games. It was a great pleasure to play

Me and my wife often compete in photography, but we do that playfully. We often feel creative jealousy over what the other one has discovered and done. And part of the "game" is to do something secretly from another. For example take a photo and try to

...or that is what I am planning to learn next. Inspired by "YouTuber" and photographer Sean Tucker, I try to start shooting in black and white, and use full manual mode to get that done on my Canon G5 X. My only problem is that the manual focus on

My friends have probably noticed that I like ambient music. Years ago I used to listen to it on SomaFM. Then I discovered SoundCloud, and started to collect and listen my own playlist there. But now SoundCloud has also started to harash people with

Yes, please! =)

During the IGA2020 meeting it became clear that "old fashioned" image captures is not quick and reliable way to take backups. Retrospectively it was realized that there already is a great software to do in time snapshots of any basic computer program

Below the comment editing boxes you may have noticed the (options)-link opening a pop up window for some formatting tips. Instructions given there try to be as simple as possible, but there are plenty of "nerd

I give you great French gift for the world. Air is one of the most wonderful French ambient music bands there has ever been, in my opinion. As compared to Jean-Michel Jarre, who is maybe more famous, Air has manage to make their music more emotionally

Few years ago I got very fond of SoundCloud. They provided free use without nasty advertisements. During time, I collected a wonderful ambient music playlist there. But somewhat all wonderful things eventually comes to their end. Also SoundCloud started

After discovering SoundCloud, I next found my way to BandCamp. It is a place where artists share their music to buy and download, sometimes also for free under Creative Commons license. In practice it does not much differ from other similar

Because there are so many options to listen music online, I have not much bought albums anymore. Last one I did bought as a CD, was Opalescent by Jon Hopkins. And because it has collected dust in the bookshelf, I had almost fogotten it. But lately I

I am an administrator only on very few groups, but I still sometimes wish to have a tool that gives me a clear notice when a new comment becomes posted on some of the group discussions. The News > Your groups is not good in my opinion, because I
