I recently moved to Denmark. One of the worries I had was to keep my phone number to allow two factor authentication. Of course I updated my contact information on all important pages, but I was worried I would forget some. Some pages just straight out would not allow a Danish phone number to begin...

Modifying Matebook X Pro – Linux Benchmarks
I got my new and sexy Matebook X Pro earlier in the week. The reviews were right, it can get somewhat loud at times. One thing I can't stand is a loud computer. The problem with having an i7 and a discrete nvidia GPU in an ultrabook body is that getting rid of all the... Continue Reading →
Teach Every Semester Like It’s Your Last Semester
The teaching evaluations for my last semester here in OU just came in. Wait... I have something in my eye. What?!? NO! I'm not crying! You're crying! I can't describe how satisfying getting a review like this was, especially for a course as though as MIS2800. I had some good evaluations in the past, but... Continue Reading →
Shyft is shyt
Shyft is an app to replace in home survey for moving companies. The idea is neat enough. Using the phone, you show the surveyor what you want moved and they calculate the volume and weight based on that. The problem is the app should never have left beta. It did not work with any of...

Stuffed Fables Minis – Last Minis Painted in US
I finished painting stuffed fables. These may be the last minis I paint in US, as I packed my paints and brushes for the move. Heck I am even selling the desk I used to paint miniatures on. Anyway, I started off carefully. Paying attention to details and generally implementing all techniques I learned. Towards... Continue Reading →
Scythe Minis Painted
Got around to painting Scythe minis. The character figurines were quite detailed and I ended up using a few tricks I never used before.
Parallelizing Bootstrapping At Least…
I understand that there are some workloads that don't lend themselves to parallel processing. Yet bootstrapping is so clearly parallelizable. Why in this day and age, do we have to rely on serial processing of bootstrapping tasks, I don't understand. This became infuriatingly obvious to me when a bootstrapping task I left running on Friday... Continue Reading →
Scale Mismatch of Scythe Minis
What is the deal with the scale mismatch between the mechs of different factions? Rusviet Mech looks like a dieselpunk exoskeleton maybe 5-6m tall, all the others look like they are giant walking fortresses 20 mt tall. I like the detail on the Rusviet mech to be honest but I still find it a bit... Continue Reading →
Business of Games 2019
One of the things I will miss about OU is the BoG summit that John Bowditch and Paul Mass organizes every year. Considering my research area, it was a blessing to have BoG so nearby. This year too I just walked down the Court street to join the conference. While I could not attend all... Continue Reading →
