Video Game High-School, Episode 9 (spoiler alert)
I enjoyed the Video Game High-School web series. There first episode can be found here. The series is 9 episodes long. The final one came out yesterday here. However, I don’t think that it ended as well as it could have. To summarize what happened in the final episode (limiting myself to what I’m going…

How I like to build for Windows
I’ve seen a growing number of free software Windows programs where the recommended (or only) build procedure is to cross-build from Linux. I really like this idea.
