Just to catch up a little after a two-month gap: I have been busy. Mostly busy with life stuff (I’m still working full-time and studying full-time, which doesn’t leave me a lot of time for other things), but some of the work I’ve been doing will also hopefully lead to interesting news on this blog […]

As I’ve already mentioned on Mastodon, I have transferred all my videos to a PeerTube instance. (You can also find it in the sidebar from now on.) There are many reasons for this move, but also some possible drawbacks, which I would like to discuss now. Let’s start with the reasons: Firstly, the YouTube model […]

So here’s the final part of this little series. Again, see the first part for more information on its background. For my original promotions covered in the previous 4 parts, I was beginning to struggle to come up with new ideas by the end of February 2021, and since there had been a rather disappointing […]

On to the next promotional texts. As before, see the first part for more information on the background of this series.
