This is about how to, in C#, using SkiaSharp, download an image and display it incrementally, as it downloads.

A friend linked me a video showcase of some of the tools that Tomorrow Corporation uses to make video games.

This is a series!

This is a series!

So I promised in my other post to explain how this site's comment system works.

So it's been a little snowy in Helsinki lately.

What am I on about?

I was putting together a Raspberry Pi-powered bus schedule board running Windows 10 IoT the other day, when I realized that if I didn't want the thing blinding me while I tried to sleep, I needed some way to control the screen's brightness.

Recap🔗 It's been a while, hasn't it?

Part 1 - In which we introduce PowerShell, encourage Windows 10 upgrades, and adopt Chocolatey.

Part 1 - You are here Part 2 - In which we supercharge Git, fix console selection and copy/paste, and introduce ConEmu and friends.

I've done some dabbling in the Rust programming language in the past, so when a friend asked me if knew a way to force a VLC to the foreground in Windows with Rust, my answer was "yeah, probably".

I've dabbled briefly with making games in the past.

Hello again, boys and girls!

I'm standing in the checkout line at Prisma, roughly equivalent to a Target.

Just a quick preliminary post to make sure everything is in order.

Here's a Christmas present for you all, from slightly in the future.

I am very jealous of the ease with which technology integrates into the everyday life of the average Finn.

There exists a stereotype about Finns--one that they are quiet, antisocial and dislike people.

After a harrowing 24-hour transcontinental journey and a week to recover, I'm back stateside and in Camarillo.

Welcome back everybody!

So it's 2013 and it looks like we're still here.

The piikki🔗 I don't really have any interesting Christmas-related observations this year.

It's that time of year again, dear readers.

So, my intention was to make this post about a month ago.

You thought I was done, didn't you?

Ladies and gentlemen, I have reentered the country!

So, picture this.

"New Year's in Jyväskylä"🔗 Happy 2012 from the future, everybody!

...or not, as it turns out.

"High noon in central Finland"🔗 Merry Christmas morning, everybody.

"Fully-decorated Christmas tree!"

I'm back!

Amsterdam So, my first thoughts upon (finally) getting off the plane and seeing the Amsterdam airport: Wow, this is a nice airport.

Test, test.
