Table Slayer is now feature complete. I plan on opening it up for beta up next week, and doing a full release once I come back from vacation in mid April. It will be Open Source. Here's a demo. If you're interested in helping with the beta, sign up at tableslayer.com.
Table Slayer finally broke 100 Github stars. Contribution is still pretty much only me, but I know of at least a half dozen people hosting it on their own. Most just use the hosted service. All features at this point are user suggested. Next up, a basic API system for remote actions.

Reminds me of narration from Ken Burns Civil War documentary: "Both sides set to work building more ironclads while Europe watched in worried fascination. From the moment the two ships opened fire that Sunday morning, every other navy on earth was obsolete."

I've joined an online Out of the Park Baseball league, playing as the Orioles in 2076. I sort of don't know what I'm doing, but I have the league's best home run hitter so that's something? My pitching looks terrible.

Oh wow. This art style is totally my jam. Looks like it's been ripped out of a Heavy Metal comic.

Progressive lenses are gross and it's weird (for me) needing to point my head at things to have clear vision. Although they are considered old school, I much prefer bifocals. Maybe it's from years of playing video games with zoom scopes. It feels a lot more natural to me.

Keeping up with my New Year's resolutions, here's a simple magnetic, modular card draw STL I made. www.davesnider.com/posts/card-d...

RIP Catherine O'Hara. Hope she's hanging with John. Hard to think of a funnier lady.

Another fun one from my DVD pile lost to the algorithm. Probably Jennifer Anniston's best movie. I want an alternate timeline where she focused on more small indie flicks.

I've ripped 250 of my DVDs so far. The last one is an example of how movies get forgotten by the algorithm. Excellent WW2 movie. Best sniper movie of all time?

Hey folks. I tried to do a small performance PR for Table Slayer to make some of the rendering a little smoother. Weirdly, Chrome with Apple Silicon seems to be the most problematic.

Took the family to NYC over the long weekend and went to see an IMAX 3D showing of Avatar: Fire and Ash with my son, while the ladies went to a Broadway show. I always want to hate that franchise, but there's really nothing else like them in a good theater.

Kind of interested in trying out a Fantasy Baseball league this season. Anyone out there interested or have a casual league to join?

Whelp, survived my first Linux boot recovery issue in about 3 years. It was my own fault. I did a rollback to a snapshot that had a different kernal. I had to boot in off a usb and recover everyting. Not the worst, and everything is back to normal.

Watched the first episode of Starfleet Academy. Off to a good start. I've enjoyed pretty much every Trek outside of Discovery. It has the trappings of a teen 2000s show, which is fine, Star Trek is big enough for that kind of show.
