I probably should have done it a while ago, but that’s all my site-previously-known-a-Twitter accounts deactivated. One of them had been around for aproaching 20 years.

Oh dear. What a pity. Someone had their “not road legal in this country” Deplorian taken away from them.

My plan for lunchtime today was clear away some ongoing #warhammer projects so my space was more suited to hosting people to play Ticket To Ride Legacy on Saturday.

Unfortunately I managed to get chatting to people about Anvil of Apotheosis and now I've got half a dozen sprues out of my […]

I think @kathhayhoe's "friendly fire" statement about mastodon is one of the saddest and most depressing things I've heard in the last days (and I've heard a lot of sad and depressing things, both in the context of the overall world and of my private life).

And yes, this is also often how it […]

Finally bit the bullet and hit delete on my Instagram accounts. I’ve barely used it in years as The Algorithm™️ was terrible and when i did see something interesting it was too easy to accidentally hit refresh and lose it forever. The last straw was when it started showing me “reels I might […]

It baffles me why indie bloggers love AI. I don't get it, and yes, agree with this!

> I have a growing hatred for AI-generated images in blogs. It makes me wonder if the text in the blog posts is AI-generated to some extent. It’s always disappointing seeing these images in blogs run by […]

Germany-based #sovereingtechfund contributes 384.000 EUR to #openstreetmap over two years. And the best part: it's not for fancy features big sponsors think they need, but for technical debt removal, documentation, testing infrastructure, vandalism prevention, and two additional paid roles […]

Yesterday I spent the day playing a few games of #warhammer #ageofsigmar #spearhead

Games Workshop got the go ahead to proceed with its plans to open a new #warhammer factory: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/business/decision-issued-warhammer-maker-games-9807895

This was an inevitable bit of rubber stamping […]

[Diet / Weight loss / Christmas / Non-diet friendly recipe]

I've had a successful year reducing my weight back down to a level it previously hasn't been down to this century. While I haven't been rigorously counting calories, I am finding myself slightly aghast at the desert I'm planning to […]

“Replace the d6 function in server/src/util/d6.ts to use crypto.randomInt instead of Math.random().”

Dear CodeQL. This code simulates a roll of a six-sided die for a game. It has nothing to do with cryptography. This is not a security problem.

Just been to see A Sherlock Carol.

Moriarty is dead, to begin with. Sherlock is asked to investigate the death of Ebeneezer Scrooge by tiny Tim Cratchett.

It’s an absolute delight and I’m feeling full of Christmas cheer now.

Well recommended. Get tickets […]
