As a small, fun sort of project, I made a dice-rolling app with Godot for solo TTRPG use. I opted to use the 3.x branch for better support on older hardware in case people are using a repurposed laptop for play (like me).

Here's a sample of a piano piece generated algorithmically using the color data in an image alongside a user-defined song structure. No AI is involved here. It's all being done with code.

Well, here it is: the initial release of Wightwatch Keep! It's a 2D platformer with a few puzzles and a 1-bit pixel art style, and it's the first game I made on my own with #Godot. This release is limited to #Linux. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I flew into Houston yesterday to attend a conference for work. Had dinner at a great Tex Mex place about half a block from the hotel. Super tasty! Props to the Uber driver who suggested it.

To amuse myself, I wrote a utility that hashes a string, converts it to a list of decimals, then uses that data to generate color values to build an abstract looking image. I fed the result to my image2sound utility to create a new piece of music. No AI involved, just creative algorithms.

From 1993 to 2009, I drank the EA Kool-Aid, buying their hockey games yearly. I've seen people online talking about how good the NHL 2K series for the PS2 was. Curious about what I may have missed, I checked out a few of them using an emulator. (They were right!) 2K8 resonated with me the most, and I picked up this still shrinkwrapped (!) copy on eBay for $12 so I could play it on actual hardware.

My awesome wife got me two books by @wsvincent for Christmas!

I made two of these tasty #keto pumpkin spice lattes this evening - one for my wife and one for myself. 10/10 Would definitely make them again!

Amused myself this Halloween evening by making this simple random color changing #Flask / #HTMX app thing while listening to "Forest Nocturne" by The Lord, a side project of Greg Anderson from Sunn O))).

Made this tasty #keto friendly "Egg Roll in a Bowl" recipe along with some cauliflower rice for dinner this evening. First time trying coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. Good stuff!
