Behold the interweb home of Mischa Poslawsky aka Shiar. It contains information on my (software) projects such as Wormy, a section about TI-8x calculators including over 200 game reviews, and pages on anything else that might interest me.
All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand
After about six years of inactivity, I finally resurrected my site. As pages became more and more outdated, the work required to update everything to a semi-relevant state grew to the point where it's easier to just leave it clearly deprecated.
But at last I managed to bring it back to a presentable state. The styling and HTML have been updated, and all code rewritten (which besides being maintainable and PHP-less, now features translations and clean urls). Most obsolete contents have been removed or revised (useful information should still be there though). While I'm not planning on posting as frequently as I used to, I do hope to keep it somewhat current.
You wouldn't believe it if you weren't reading this, but I'm actually
updating my page! :) Not that I've got anything noteworthy to say
(oh, just that my site got over 100,000 visitors, w00t),
but a lot of people were wondering where I went. Well, mostly I'm just
preoccupied with my job at the moment. The only update is that I just
made my guestbook a little more spam-resistant (recently it's
being flooded by spam, bleurgh). But soon I think I may have some
calculator-related updates for you as well (even though I officially retired).
Check back soon ;)
Finally got a computer-related job :). At Media Design, where I'm currently working on Cu2, a site which most dutch people may have heard of ^_^. Anyways, since I'm now working on websites fulltime, the fun of updating my own site is mostly gone. I'll try though: Little update to the about me page, and I believe I never mentioned my StarCraft page before, which contains some useful info about the game.
Afterall... I hereby, officially, retire from ticalc programming. Don't look too surprised, it's always been coming; ticalcs aren't exactly something you keep on doing. After releasing Wormy I was very disappointed by the community. It really seems like there's no TI-86 users left at all. There are other '86 programmers and good games being released (Jigsaw by Cullen recently), but nobody seems to care. I hardly receive any fanmail - very unlike when I released my Nemesis beta 3 years ago - and no mention at ticalc.org... the whole motivation is just gone. While the programming is fun and all, I also want my programs to be used and appreciated.
So, I won't be completing Nemesis. But well, Wormy's here, and my site (with its pretty archives) remains as well, so that's probably enough to be proud about.
And I won't be completely gone (almost feels like I'm dieing here). I'll still be here programming, but for PC now. At the moment I'm very busy learning C, and I hope to eventually make some cool stuff once again. Wormy for the PC sounds very interesting IMO; we'll see. Rightnow I'm already working on my first project, a kewl multiplayer Tetris clone for Linux (more about that later).
Anyways, don't expect any calc updates here from now (read: a few months ago) on, but me and this site will remain. Later :)
Bluh, too bad, didn't make it, shcool is the suck. So next year I'll be doing maths and chemistry (voor de geïnteresseerden: VAVO op 't ROC Leiden) just 11 hours a week. ATM I just don't feel like doing anything, hence the lack of updates/stuff.
