After much anticipation the issue #32 of the Hugi diskmag has been released. This issue is titled Hugi #32 - Say It With Flowers. It contains over 900 kilobytes of articles (worth several books!) in addition to plenty of great graphics and music for a total size of about 16 megabytes. Included are reports from demoparties, demoscene charts, artist interviews, demo reviews, short stories, tutorials and much more. Several Deviants have contributed material to this issue.
Diskmags are electronic magazines, published in executable format containing an interface with graphics and background music. Like the name suggests, diskmags were originally spread on floppy disks. Nowadays you can just download them, naturally free of cost. Diskmags used to be exclusive to the demoscene, publishing news, charts, interviews and reports, but these days they often contain articles about other interesting subjects and even literature. Everyone is welcome to contribute material.
The Hugi diskmag has readers and contributors from all over the world. Each issue is even translated into Russian. The first issue of the magazine was released back in 1996, so this issue marks the 10-year anniversary of Hugi. The official release of the magazine will be at the Finnish Assembly demoparty this weekend.

A whirlwind year
It's been many years. And this year has been incredibly weird, and that doesn't even begin to cover it. I won't go into detail about the non-art stuff, but having your personality completely change in an instant, half a dozen times, has been great and fascinating but also disorienting and alienating. Last year I started recording hypnosis and meditation audios and more poetry for my YouTube channel, and those have received great feedback but alas, I got sicker and can't do that much any more. Earlier this year my beloved muse enticed me to start pencil drawing and I turned out to be pretty good at it (I thought I can't draw). I tried my hand at watercolors, which I always saw as an impossible medium, but turns out it's not. Alas, I again got sicker, as things tend to go, and have hardly been able to do any art for over six months. I've written over 250 poems this year, thanks to both my muse and the massive cognitive overhaul I've experienced. It feels like after 30+ years of

It's been a while. A few years. Quite a few since I essentially stopped using DA because of the extremely abusive admins (my comment average is still 4.2 comments a day!). I'm not sure if anyone I know is still reading this. Lots of stuff has been happening, good and bad. The Netherlands is a wonderful place. When I got away from Finland life was great for a while. I could work 15-hour days despite the CFS/ME, thanks to LDN. I thought my nightmare was finally over. Until November 2011, when my pituitary was destroyed by sabotage. Hypopituitarism is one really shitty illness and has put me close to death more times than I can count. Also very

Yep, my debut novel Marian ilmestyskirja (Maria's Book of Revelations) was supposed to come out in the spring, but due to various delays it has only been released now. It's in Finnish, but there is an info page in English, too, and a book trailer which is Finnish only, but very visual, so it's worth watching even if you don't know Finnish. It has gathered many positive, even glowing reviews and

So my first novel Marian ilmestyskirja will be coming out from Muruja next month. The taboo-breaking cripfic has already got about 10 reviews in book blogs, including a few absolutely glowing ones (I couldn't have come up with better ones if I tried!). I made an English info page about the book which includes a sample. Still hoping to find an international publisher for it! Disabled people deser
