I just noticed that some older posts are broken after LaTeX2HTML updates. I’m disabling it for now. This would in turn break other posts, but should be the less wrong solution.
Iterative Function System
This was an old post in 2019, when I temporarily revived my interest in image generation with fractals. Like many long posts of that time, it was left unfinished and left dusting in the metaphysical corner.
With a renewed interest and the recently added table of content support, here is the finished version.
Adding a table of contents
A quick update: a table of contents has been added to the side bar, which should help navigating the longer posts and pages.
There are more possibilities to make it better, but I prefer stability on this blog, and will only make changes in baby steps.
Curiously, I discovered an old post draft named “menus & widgets” but with no actual content. It must be some long forgotten plan to look at the widgets…
Posts and Pages
The blog seems inactive for a few months, but I was actually frequently writing stuff here. The problem was that I was creating pages rather than posts recently.
Admittedly, it is hard to organize stuff either way. And organizing things is hard in general, so I don’t blame Workpress for this. And there are probably a plugin or two that fixes this, I am just too lazy to check them out.
Football Manager 2019 Shinnik Season 17
The third consecutive league win. And, with 78 points, it was a historic high among the in-game simulation seasons. Improved financial situation and ever increasing fan base, the game has indeed transitioned into another phase.

The season is also special in its own: it is the first time we win the league consecutively. I am pretty sure this is not yet another random statistical trick to make up things, since that being in the European Championship does seem to have some negative impact to the league performance. Fixture congestion, having to buy more players to avoid people complaining about the lack of squad depth, and having to deal with too many players complaining about playing time as a result, these are all unique challenges to consecutive winners.
And, despite being actually a very shambolic season, we somehow managed to overcome the above-mentioned difficulties.

This is the first season we won both the league and the cup, which is something to remember.
Football Manager 2019 Shinnik Season 14
Another season, and financial woes strike back as expected!
The performance was actually pretty good. We ended up at the second place, which was the highest among all seasons where we entered the Champions League. For some reason like fixture congestion, such seasons are always hard. So I guess I should be satisfied.

Going back to the game proved to be fun. I feel I am looking forward to a future FM game as well, perhaps on FM 2023.
Anyways, it is a season with an extremely long streak of games without losing, and a second league win.
More importantly, the financial game plays very differently this time…
Football Manager 2019 Shinnik Season 12
There was no update to the game for quite a few months. There were multiple reasons, but mostly because the ongoing real world event had negatively impacted my willingness to continue playing this game. The thought that the save game involves real people who might be completely disgusted with the idea of getting hired by the team I’m controlling, or getting that additional nationality through naturalization, has put me off the game for long.
Later, I thought, perhaps exactly because the real world is full of woes, I should look at the game as a more ideal place. It isn’t reflective of the world, but it is how it should have been. Along this line of thought, then, perhaps, I should just play on.
OK, back to the game.
