Anyone in the Waikato want an upright piano for practically free*?

First tuning is noted as 1946, built in London so it’s seen the hold of a steam ship.

* this is lower than the value of the castors on which it stands

I have been working so hard at eating better this week (and succeeding) but now I’m hungry and tired and just want to eat a pile of trash. I really shouldn’t.

There is a tasty salad waiting at home for me. Eyes on the prize. Tasty salad.

So.. I have a theory that burned-out coders prefer AI coding agents. Because at the point of burn-out (and beyond), you just stop giving a fuck. You might still like and enjoy your craft, but when it comes to your job (whether that's proprietary or free software), you just want to get through the day and get it done. And if an LLM helps you accomplish that, regardless of ethics or maintainability or boring button-mashing, so be it.

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 18: Writing getting away from you?

I was writing a chapter for Crown of Horns where Velodik took me on a ride. Just starts hitting on some guy to try to get some information and spending so much time thinking about his infatuation.

I eventually had to pull back and ask, “Does any of this actually get me to where I need to go?” No. “Does any of this make Velodik any more interesting or engaging?” Not really.

I cut it almost immediately after I wrote it.

I made my purchase decision. ☺️

The bi party possum is the one that aligns with me, but the pan party possum looks more ready to party.

It’s so hard to choose!

Next Thursday is too far away for more #dnd. I have ideas I want to share with my players *now*!

Y’all, I didn’t catch you up on last night’s D&D. It was amazing!

We ended an arc with a big fight. I rolled so many nat 1s and the players were eating up my misery 😆

My favourite bit, though… After they thought they took out the baddie, he reverses time to throw them to the beginning but just as injured. Then he shows each of them a moment in time that he could change in their favour if they side with him.

Loved watching each tell him to F off in their own way.

I hope no one misunderstands me and thinks I’m being genuine.

April 17: Can plots which hinge on a misunderstanding be done well?

Absolutely not. An impossibility.
