I kinda wanna get into pentesting, getting paid to break into places seems like a really fun job (probably hard to get into though, plus I'd probably get super nervous and mess everything up ^^)

Hmmm.... 90$ für ein selbst zu bauendes Handy?

might actually be useful to be able to check the internet connection and stuff just by looking at a small always-on screen
I kinda wanna get a tablet/phone-sized monochrome display, low-res OLED would look cool, and display a whole buncha status info on it, just cram that space full of numbers
dangit, apparently the Gamestop in Cologne doesn't have the Splatoon Pro Controller either. Guess I'll have to buy it on Amazon or get a different one…
might have to get the Octoling amiibos solely because they allow for more photo locations
I might love the Splatoon 2 dressup game more than the Splatoon 2 shooty game (and I really enjoy the shooty game)
gotta love the Splatoon matches where you lose but it was still a lot of fun

coming out of my cage, and i've been doing
gay crimes
wait what, this *cracked version of Portal* somehow has Steam hook into it, so it has a Steam overlay, uh, okay
neat, while looking through my old backups I found a cracked version of Portal
yeah, I paid for Portal by now, but it never hurts to have an extra copy, y'know
(cont) musings about how I learnt programming
Sadly, that website is down by now, I probably have the files still. I should check them out sometimes, see if they still work on my new computer. Before Arcor I used freenet's free webhosting which was honestly a dream, since it had no ads and unlimited traffic. Those were the days. I hope my dad has backups of my extremely basic first website :D

by "released" I mean I put it on my website at the time, which was hosted on arcor's free hosting space. It sucked because it always inserted ads into the header. I had a few Javascript games, one of which was a hangman game I was pretty proud of, that broke because of that because I actually iterated over the images of the page in-order, so more images (= the ads) before them messed up my offset. I ended up measuring the offset on load.
(cont) musings about how I learnt programming
the first time I did something that wasn't for school was me sitting down and making a simple game in Delphi, with all the assets made in MS Paint (and everything done on my trusty Windows ME computer). I managed to figure out the Delphi 6 IDE quite well during that. I actually made a second game as well. The second one I tested without double buffering because it would make the game run horribly on my ancient computer, but "released" it with db
musings about how I learnt programming
learning html from a pretty old book from my local library was the first time I wrote something a computer could understand and it was pretty cool
I learnt Javascript a bit later but I didn't really care about learning the cool stuff (and the books only covered really simple stuff, naturally, they were old programming books for kids), so it took me quite a while to actually get into programming
aaaand we're rooted again, I'm getting pretty quick at this
