Back in 1997 a great and ingenious website (at the time) appeared. It was “the Riven Journals”, a preview of “Riven”, the sequel to the famous “Myst” game. I really had no idea a functional website restoring this old site still exists. It is a challenge playing this preview today as the original “Journals” relied on Java applets for the puzzels. I have however discovered that on an old Mac running Mac OS 10.4, and using Safari 5.1.10, the game is completely functional (more screenshots will follow in a later post):

Realizing that Korg had resurrected the classic Arp Odessey, this was another deal I just could not refuse…

Yes, I finally did it. Last fall, after being tired of fiddling with software synthesizers I bought myself an Arturia MicroBrute. Not the most fantastic sounding of musical instruments, but great for learning. It has a bit of everything, and at the price it just cannot be refused.

Ok, the “Seer” medal does not update anymore so I am forever stuck with bronze at 22, but still, this *is* my Ingress portal number 23:

Added a few walks/strolls on my Cyprus page, based on a weeks stay in Larnaca.

Did a few strolls on Cyprus last week and took a few snapshots that can be seen here.
