Super Worms: An Addictive 2-Player Game from the Past

Super Worms is an addictive indie-game that was originally released for DOS by Wiering Software (and then later for Windows). It’s a 3-D racing game similar to Mario Kart, except here you’re controlling a tiny worm on racetrack instead of a Mario character placed in a go-kart.

The game was released as a shareware, which means you can try the game and play it for as long as you like.

Experimenting Pomodoro with Tomighty Desktop Timer

The main reason I started this blog is to share my experiences. While learning different things is one of my passions, I also have a great deal of trouble tackling procrastination.

7 Reasons that Stopped Me from Starting a Blog

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

— Albert Einstein

I’d planned to start my personal blog a few years ago, but it never materialized until recently. Even though I launched this blog just a few weeks back, you’d be surprised to know that this domain is almost two years old.

Yes, I did try launching the site a few times in the past, but there were a lot of hurdles I had to face along the way.… » click to continue reading “7 Reasons that Stopped Me from Starting a Blog”
