Assetto Corsa Rally Pacenote Pal has now been published for about ten days, and already five people have made or are making custom co-driver voices for it. That's awesome. It's quickly turning into an advanced custom pacenote system :-)

Een ideetje dat kwam tijdens de lunch: een klok die de tijd HH:mm omzet naar een jaartal HHmm en vervolgens een gebeurtenis laat zien uit dat jaar. Niet heel praktisch, wel leuk.

I published my Assetto Corsa Rally Pacenote Pal app, and within a day someone had already made a Hungarian version – awesome!

AC Rally Pacenote Pal
Although the built-in pacenotes are fine, I always like tinkering with the pacenotes myself. That's why I started making my own pacenote app which runs alongside AC Rally. It allows for custom voices,...

The game might only be out for two days, but I already have a working prototype of my custom pacenotes application for #ACRally, enabling both custom voices and editing the pacenotes. It is still very rough around the edges though.

Recently I've been playing The Farmer Was Replaced. There is something quite satisfying about seeing your algorithms come to life, especially as normally I'm too lazy to make a decent visualisation.

The roadbooks I made for Dakar 18 and Dakar Desert Rally now end up on the first page if you Google "Dakar roadbook". As a consequence people have been emailing me thinking they are the roadbooks for the real 2020/2021/2022 Dakar seasons. Mission failed successfully I guess :-)

Some time ago I bought a Stream Deck (I also wrote a blog about it), but I could never actually stream anything to it. That had to change. Recently I've been working on a plugin to stream live video to the Stream Deck. It works remarkably well:

After 12 years of loyal service, my dashboard for Raceroom has stopped working. It was time for something new, which gave me something to tinker with again. I also just now caught up with all the added functionality from the last 12 years, like showing the current flag.

One last addition to my PC (which had to arrive from China): two LED spotlights. Both because I like the look, and because I can more easily see that my PC is still on — it's so quiet most of the time I sometimes forget it is still running.

I have the uncanny ability to find really niche things to develop for. This weekend: a dashboard for Dakar Desert Rally. It only shows the speed, but that's all I need. Plus I learnt a thing or two about reverse engineering Unreal Engine and extracting values from running processes.

Sometimes the simplest programming projects bring the greatest joy, like this button on my Stream Deck that allows me to turn the fan behind my simracing setup on and off (using a smart plug). It's really nice, especially with summer around the corner.

As many people probably already know, I fly a rainbow flag outside my house. Not just during pride month, but pretty much year round. I hope that one day LGBTQ+ acceptance will be as self-evident as women's voting rights, but until that day there is still something to fight for.
