Inspired by 64D
Yesterday, I released something called Trollcave on my main blog. It's a bit like a game, but not quite, and there's a bit of a barrier to entry. It's an infosec challenge VM, so the idea is you download a VirtualBox ova, load it up (with sensible …
Ludum Dare 37
VT-d GPU Passthrough
What is the best single-PC setup for a Linux enthusiast who still likes to play Windows-only games and run other Windows-only software?
Not WINE, because despite working surprisingly well in many cases and being in general better than you might expect, it's often flaky and unstable, and is absolutely not …Some Projects
I've been busy lately. Here's some stuff I've been doing:
First off, there was Ludum Dare about two weeks ago. I really want to thank you guys – Jani, Acid and Ferret especially – for all getting into it and inspiring me to do the same and just sit down …HackFu

I've learnt that even with a vastly diminished wordcount goal, writing is difficult and time-consuming. I'm happy that I wrote as much as I did, but I …64wrimo: Camp III
Just over a week left. Whether you finish or not, regardless of how much you write or don't write this week, be pleased that you've started something. As for me, I'm back at university as of this week, so the work's going to pick up again shortly, but I'm still …
