I've updated my #FFVSO scheduling program with actual 2025 #OttFringe Ottawa Fringe Theatre Festival show run times, for the shows I've seen (now 25 shows!). That means you can schedule more accurately and not unexpectedly have to run between LabO and Nouvelle Scène theatres in 7 minutes (got in thanks to that new latecomer 7 minute admission rule).

Visit https://web.ncf.ca/au829/FFVSO/index.html if you want to try it out on your schedule, or copy and hack up mine to make your own.

After some fiddling and rearranging, I've finished my first draft of a schedule to see maybe 53 shows at the 2025 #OttFringe Ottawa Fringe Theatre Festival. As usual, I used #FFVSO to try out different options, https://web.ncf.ca/au829/FFVSO/index.html if you want to try it out on your schedule or edit mine. If I can survive it, and shows don't get cancelled, that will equal my old 2014 record!

I'll need to update the map data for Café Alternatif (recycled some old distances from 2014, making for a lengthy path), but other than that, #FFVSO is now usable for the 2025 Fringe!

I should add a feature (first time in a while) to keep track of masked and other special showings. Nudge me and it will get done.

I finally had time to type in this season's #OttFringe Theatre Festival show times into #FFVSO, my scheduling app for Fringe Bingers. Pack in dozens of shows into as short a time as you can fit them. My record is something like seeing 53 shows in one Fringe.

Another #OttFringe Ottawa Fringe Theatre Festival starts today. I’ve updated my #FFVSO web app https://web.ncf.ca/au829/FFVSO/index.html with the show times and travel times (walking time between venues taken into account) to new venues.

I used it to make my schedule; hope to see 48 shows. Will I be able to remember 48 shows? Even if I don’t, it will be fun.

I’ve updated the Festival Visitors Schedule Optimizer #FFVSO data with the 2024 #UnderCurrents theatre festival (put on by https://ottawafringe.com/). Visit https://www.agmsmith.ca/FFVSO/ if you want to make your own schedule, useful for fitting in friends. Personally I’m looking forward to the New Play Tuesday annual tradition.

I've updated the #FFVSO (https://www.agmsmith.ca/FFVSO/index.html) Fringe Theatre Festival Visitor Schedule Optimiser web page with the latest #OttFringe show cancellations, so you can use it to figure out your own schedule complexities.

Personally, I missed seeing Admission so that's one less show for my total, so my rival "That Walking Guy" could take the lead! But I'm planning to see The Merkin Sisters again to fill the gap. This time I don't have to take notes and can sit back and enjoy its weirdness.

Changed my #OttFringe theatre festival schedule yet again, using #FFVSO to edit it quickly. Some of the shows I was going to see are already sold out! Anyway, bought a ticket to the last available Kimiko show and worked around other problems. Link to my schedule is at the bottom of page http://www.agmsmith.ca/FFVSO/index.html

Though it did give me the chance to see my billet’s show A Side of Rice twice; I’ll be able to remember it better. Had answers to audience questions, kind of like a time traveller :-)

@jaybaltz Still using #FFVSO to make my #OttFringe theatre festival schedule. Seeing 43 shows I hope.

https://www.agmsmith.ca/FFVSO/index.html has links to my schedule, and the tool for making your own. Though with all shows in the same building, the walking time between venues isn’t as important, so scheduling is easier.
