Did I spend the last 2 1/2 hours productively? Yes, yes I did.

~2 1/2 years ago I wrote a small script which changes your telegram biography based on the currently playing song in spotify. This has gotten more traction then I expected for such a small thing, most of them users unable to follow the setup steps. So I took a bit of time this weekend to rewrite it interactively, which included spawning a temporary webserver. Hopefully I don't get comments about the project not working now when it is :)

I wonder if this will change to yesterday in 1.66 hours, or if I get a very late night delivery :D

They did change to yesterday + a nice late night warning, props to the backend. It didn't arrive (yet), but still. Good job there

Hey guys, there is a game launching RIGHT NOW which is very dear to my heart - This Means Warp. I am a QA tester for it since 18th of July and did the German translation for the demo, as well as creating the leaderboard on speedrun.com.

What I want to say: This game is amazing. If you have 20 USD/16€ you can spare, please consider buying it. If the steam page/trailers/this message really convinces you and you would love to play it but you do not have the money, PM me and I will send it to you (for like, a maximum of 10 people or so. Still a student over here, not like I'm swimming in money). The developers are really nice and they came up with a great concept, give it a try. And leave a positive review if you like it, it helps them a lot.

New high-score amount of foreign packages in our flat: 7 🎉

Remember this game? Did you check it out and thought "Oh well I really want to buy this but its 20% too much money"? Well, have I news for you: It is 20% off right now being part of the Going rogue festival and Update 1 has been released with more Scenario gameplay modes, better AI progression in the game and a bit of new content in every part of the game.

Oh and if you open the steam page during the festival, you have a good chance of seeing me and a fellow gamer doing a session. Otherwise I have uploaded them to my YouTube channel if you are just here for me and not games I am advertising 😍

Hi.

If you have two moments, read this post, it is about a study someone would like to do and you can participate in it

https://telegra.ph/The-Study-06-28

They want to have at least 50 members to start their study, and this channel has 150+, so if like every third of you all can join their channel that would be kinda awesome :)

Happy new year everyone.

The python-telegram-bot framework I help maintain has, after two years of intense developing, finally released the mayor v20 upgrade, switching the code base to asyncio and making a lot of great breaking changes along the way. Developing a bot with it is now more fun than ever.

Feel free to use it, its cool :D

Release post

I am particularly proud that we got three new people into developing the library. Me and Bibo-Joshi started working on it 2019, Harshil joined a bit later, and for the last half year clot and Dmitry have also joined the team and done really good contributions. Really happy you guys are there!

Today, I got famous.

Also, while I have your attention, I streamed a bit of Hi-Fi RUSH yesterday, where this fight stood out enough to me that I made a short highlight video about it. Give it a watch if me struggling with a game is your cup of tea. https://youtu.be/TDtNYKXYmws

Baked birthday muffins for and with my flatmate today.

The 502's will be in Hamburg, Rindermarkthalle on 12.12. (Their most popular song is probably https://youtu.be/dFANyr3Tyng)

I will be there :)

Hello there.

Over the last weeks I have seen some issues with the hosted services on my servers. I have come to the realization that the server has gotten a bit overwhelmed and thus I will upgrade it over the next days. I will have to shutdown my projects for that, ideally only for a short moment. I will edit this message when the shutdown happens and once it is done.

Sorry for the current and ongoing inconvenience, I hope to be able to mitigate this rather swiftly.

Edit: Shutdown will happen in the next hour
Edit edit: Shutdown now
Edit edit edit: And we are back

~ a week ago, 31.1; Neil.fun released a new game called Infinite craft. I saw an opportunity to distract myself for an hour from learning and programmed a small script automating the game, recorded it playing and uploaded to YouTube. https://youtu.be/JP7WFK54mXE

This video has gotten 7 thousand views without me advertising it anywhere. That is crazy :D

Well if you start an email like that. You must know you are doing smth wrong.
