Open Rock Raiders Delta

A few weeks back, me and Ramius were discussing a bit our thoughts on open rock raiders. We didn't completely agree to addict's planned changes (for example: adding single tile thick walls), and started looking into it ourselves. Our vision is to recreate the old game, with its original gameplay structures, yet adding new features that improve the gameplay. I have made a small overview of our thoughts further down the post. We have decided to use python to program the game, mainly due to i

Apple Fails: Mac App Store Guidelines

I thought it was funny to share this in a bit more detail.

Are tosti's unhealthy?

I was making tosti's today, and had myself wondering whether tosti's are as unhealthy as many people look at them. I mean, if you think about it, tosti's (or sandwitches) are 2 slices of bread, with butter, cheese and ham/salami (plus perhaps some ketchup too). That is in fact not much more than what you would normally have for lunch. At least I don't think heating them up means making them more unhealthy. On the other hand, when you make tosti's you normally don't just make one, you make
