A printed postcard, hand-tinted on monochrome, showing a view of "The Cromlech, Drewsteignton" or Spinster's Rock, on Dartmoor in Devon. Published by Chapman & Son of Dawlish, No 783. Postally used in 1904. #SpinstersRock #Drewsteignton #Dartmoor #Dolmens #Postcards #TombTuesday
🤓 Here's something nerdy. 🤓
Today biglocalnews.org linked up with Datasette, @simon's open-source tool for exploring data.
It's as easy as a single click. Check it out!
It gets worse before it hopefully gets better. No idea what to do with the glass windows, not going to lie, but the base layer is sketched!
Again, a "cheating" #dungeon23 entry. I promise, I'll come back to spy stuff some time in February!
Sunak’s anti-strike bill has PASSED its Parliament stages & will now progress to the House of Lords
AYES 315
NOES 246
If your MP voted to strip workers of their democratic right to strike, force them to work against their will & sack them if they refuse vote them out of office
But at this moment, it feels like a move to #purerl is warranted for at least one software system we make, forcing us to contribute to an actual future tech and perhaps move back to #gleam as default and make that #orleans-like actor library?..
Ughhh, why can't such a great language as Elixir be just a iota more acommodating.
I'm very upset with #elixir driving #Witchcraft into the ground in a horrid chain of absolutely uncalled for depreciations. This is not how 1.x software systems are maintained, especially given that 2.x is in the works.
Now I have to make some sort of #typeclass machinery essentially from scratch. At least they didn't mess up the algebraic data types add-on yet. If I lose it, I won't use #eixirlang.
To Abbey Wood - Elizabeth line
Moody black and white photography of an Elizabeth line train arriving at Custom House Railway Station. I think this was taken on, or very near the first day that the line opened.

Rounding up first month of #dungeon23 with some illustration work on the #RaganaPress's "Hour of Unity" adventure.

Enjoying reading “A Folklore Bestiary” by @TMushmen - it’s evocative and the entries spark ideas. Lovingly illustrated too. There’s even a #DnD5e version if that floats your boat rather than the #OSR #OSE version.
Hat tip to @gbsteve, @gonzohistory and @lostpaolo who all worked on it. Recommended.

Absolutely unique chance to talk to an author of #FOSS #VectorGraphics editor #Inkscape. Take this chance, especially if you're a software engineering beginner!
Let's see, we got a Jan 28th entry yesterday, gotta remember that while I publish my #dungeon23 backlog. Anyway, for Jan 17th entry, I do a double time travel trick and give you the most current edit of the "Turns" card based on #Necropraxis hazard system, after the feedback from... ...**players**! (Yup, I test my content as I go in the vein of #LeanStartup and #Agile).
700,000 lines of #code, 20 years, and one developer: How #DwarfFortress is built - Stack Overflow Blog
The dwarves could be considered a keystone species in a fantasy world. They build nice habitats, and once they are dead, goblins, dragons and balrogs have a place to live.
I hope to post a bit more here on the #TTRPG side of things. I have two projects I'm currently in the middle of, with one I hope to wrap up before the end of the year. I find the journaling #TTRPG space fascinating.
I've started a blog to write longer form pieces about what I'm working on (one post so far about my current projects) at: https://rpgexplorations.wordpress.com/
I did play D&D as a teen years and years ago, the indie games seem so much more interesting and varied to me. I want to play them all.
Instead of today's #dungeon23...
My character facing off against a wyvern in the moors.
We had to put two of them down to retrieve lost artifacts. 14 HD dealt with by two retainers, a level 4 strong and a level 1 wise.
Almost died to crocodiles while fishing on our way back to town too... 😃
Good session! Love #whitehack system and #nsr play style!
