I am a so-called ‘digital native’, meaning that I was growing up with computers my whole life. When I was a child, I learned coding, build my own computers since I was a teenager, worked basically my whole life with them and even use them to relax after the…

Book Review: “Out of the Wreckage” by G. Monbiot

on
2022-07-29

During the summer I read something different. I didn’t read about Archaeology, Digital Methods or Archaeogaming. Instead, I read “Out of the Wreckage” by G. Monbiot. A book about politics, environment and especially neo-liberalism. It was shocking to read how easy it can be and how hard it actually…

The problem with finding good programmers in science

on
2022-07-22

So as you might know, I am not only an Archaeologist, but I am specialised in Digital Archaeology. The difference is, that I do not go excavate as much, but rather try to develop hard- and software for Archaeology. But, I am no programmer either, so I have to…

The Pareto Principle

on
2022-07-01

A while ago, I heard about the Pareto Principle, a simple concept based on findings by Vilfredo Pareto (1848–1923). He observed, that 80% of the results are based on 20% of the effort (Law of the vital few). Productivity nerds used this principle based on economical data and concluded,…

Finding a good password

on
2022-06-24

So last week I wrote about the best password manager I know and said, that you basically have to remember one last password. Naturally, this should be very very good, but how can you remember complicated passwords? A couple of years ago, I read somewhere a very nice trick…

The best password manager: KeePass!

on
2022-06-17

So there are a lot of password managers out there. For a while now, even your browser saves all of your passwords, so you don’t have to remember anything. I really don’t trust these browsers with my passwords, so I decided for a self-stored solution: KeePass. What can I…
