My Computer Broke Down
Let me give you a taste of the glamorous life of a Youtuber. So, I've been unhappy with how loud my computer's CPU cooler was running ever since I got it. The fan's so loud it gets picked up...

Nothing much to report
Yeah, so, sometimes there's not much news to report, and that's cool too.
Okay, there's a little news. I'm working on getting the next video all finished. Should be there in the next two weeks or so. Prepare for a ... how shall I sa...

2025-03-25 13:11:22 +0000 UTC View PostHere's something that's been bothering me for years. There's this problem on Youtube where high-output, low-substance channels are drowning out the ones that are actually ... well, good.

Where's the Podcast?
Those of you familiar with my German channel might be aware that I've also been doing a podcast in German for a while now. It's been a few months since the latest episode of Tapacast has come out, though, so there've b...

Why the Hell is This Taking so Long? - Writing
Last update I wrote a bit about the difficulty of getting good information for videos. When that's done, there's still a lot of work ahead, though. A list of facts in some random order doesn't do a lot for most people. After gathering the raw mate...

Biggest thing up first: I figured, I'll only do one update every two weeks - fortnightly, one could say - since they tend to run longer than I first expected them to and because I want to keep the notification annoyance to a minimum. If you want more, let me know, but I suspect one every two weeks should be just fine. 2024-12-03 10:55:15 +0000 UTC View Post
According to my recent poll, about 9/10 of you are interested in regular updates. So let's try that.
Don't worry, I know we're all a little busy all the time, so I'm gonna keep things short and sweet and hopefully a bit entertaining as well.
From those of you who aren't all that interested in updates - Why're you reading this?! 😠...
2024-11-19 10:25:10 +0000 UTC View PostI'm thinking about doing short update posts on here every 1-2 weeks. The idea would be to answer some of your questions, give you a bit more info about work going on behind the scenes, and maybe also share some general stuff I'm interested in at the moment.
How's that sound?
