Markus computer entertainment is coming back!

After a long rest period, Markus computer entertainment is back! For those who don’t know, Markus computer entertainment on this channel was a series of videos where I introduced different operating systems (e.g. Android Oreo overview), solved computer problems (e.g. the laptop video) and introduced various computers (e.g. Nokia phone) that I still have.  The videos did not have a definite script and a large part of the videos were improvised and minimally prepared. In the second season, I will focus more on one laptop and introduce the operating systems in regular computers, including those that you have probably never heard of.  In the very first part of the second season, I will introduce a Linux distro called Enso OS.

[Website] The old mmaal (markustegelane) website domain is in my posession again!

Today, I was able to re-register my old markustegelane.tk domain, which I abandoned a long time ago. If you go to this web address, you'll see the old version of my website with a notification that says you can find the new website from another URL. Also, any old links that point to the old domain should work again and the update checker on the blue screen simulator should be working again. Still, it is recommended to use the new website address whenever possible.

Official announcement regarding unlisted videos on my channels

As many of you have already heard, just in a few days YouTube is going to change many unlisted videos to private videos (those that were published before January 2017). This change will not affect my channels tough, because I almost immediately sent a form to YouTube that says that I do not want to have my unlisted videos changed to private. This means that videos on my channels that were unlisted will still stay unlisted. In case YouTube still decides to change my videos to private, you can still find a lot of these unlisted videos on my Odysee channel and I will also try and make these private videos unlisted (according to data in my channel database).

New game on my website!

Unlike other games, that are on my website, this one has levels, sound effects, and textures! This is a port of my previous game "Crazygame 2.0" to Javascript, but this game works in any browser that supports modern web standards. The goal of this game is to collect all coins and bring all characters to the finish line, but what makes this game interesting is that all characters move at the same time and won't stop moving, until they hit a wall. Right now you can play 3 level packs, but I am plainning to add new levels on an ongoing basiss. My favorite level right now is the 10th levvel on "Le Experience" level pack (the most difficult level).

[Website] Website problems explained (i.e. what actually happened)

 Turns out, the reason why my website wasn't working is related to my own code. If I get access to my own computer, I'll resolve this problem as soon as possible. The problem was the code that connected to the database, which kept calling itself infinitely and that caused long loading and pages related to any database not working. I removed the troubling code temporarily, but soon I'll readd the working code.

[Advert] I have a Twitter profile

This is just a simple post to promote my Twitter profile. You can find it under the handle @markustegelane. It is different from my blog. On my Twitter profile, I occasionally make little random posts that you won't find on my blog. These range from random interesting things to video announcements and premiere reminders. I also retweet some posts I find cool and you may want to see. I also plan to open polls On the other hand, this blog is mainly for major updates about new videos, the website, developments or anything that doesn't fit on Twitter's character limit. On another note, starting from July, e-mail subscription feature will be removed from Blogger, which means I'll post links to new blog posts on my Twitter profile (starting from July). This doesn't include Estonian posts tough, so you'll have to check my blog manually to see those (once again, starting from July).
