Messed around with the Traveller Character Creator I've been toying with and have added dice to the Characteristics page, but tomorrow and rest of the week is prep for LongCon at the weekend. I love coding, glad I've found my mojo.

So after talking with the folks at @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social I had to play around with something: Be getting heavily back into coding, so this might actually go somewhere, but tomorrow is Against the Darkmaster day, complete the write-up, do some maps and stuff.

@frontendnorth.bsky.social Yo, folks, I can't see the Itinerary and what time folks are speaking - can you link me please.

Manchester for work tomorrow, Swindon for VTT talks on Friday, then home again, and then rest up as my little big brain is frazzled already this week. Pulling down Fantasy Grounds - it's still very slow doing updates.

Started messing about with App writing. Not done it for years and years. This is a few hours of post-work written using Flutter. It's a very simple version of my Event website! Still looking for events to list - come on people you know!

So my Events Website - MVP is complete, it's a very basic MVP (hence why it's an MVP). I'm parking it now as I prep for LongCon in just 12 days. I need to get my arse in gear, though the adventure is written and tested (to a good degree) I need to print characters, maps etc blah blah.

My last weekend on my Event Manager, only 7 things left before it's at MVP. I just need to add events now, so please - if anyone knows any RPG/Boardgame/Wargame events - please let me know. Here's one I found about yesterday, North East Tabletop Expo. Get folks to tag me, msg me, contact me!

Today is a 'System of a Down' day. It just feels that way, with the humidity and the punishment of the weather on me. open.spotify.com/track/4e9eGQ...

Got the banners up, both Cookie (yes we use cookies sparingly - none of that tracking crap) and now Beta. Down to just a dozen things to complete and then I'll push it live. This is my Events Manager - for RPG/Board/Card game and Wargaming events, feed me more events to list please!

Tennis on, chippy lunch, not too hot downstairs. Might do some coding.

Updated my Fantasy Grounds TravellerMap data converter this evening. Still more to do on it, but it's fully open source. github.com/madbeardman/...

So we should hear tomorrow what budget my department is getting. I suspect it's going to go down. I've found many ways to save money, but most fall on deaf ears, even though my grade is not that far off the top of the department. I'll continue to try, and have saved £1.2m in the last 6 months.

Who is going to @tabletopscot.bsky.social ? I noticed that the train I got from Dundee on Sunday stops at Haymarket and so it's possible I may be able to go again this year!

Loved a lof of Bisley's art in the 90's, wish I had the money to buy originals back then. I have this comic stored away in one of my boxes, I should dig it out and re-read.

Another fun fact. I saw Carcass in (I think) Stoke-on-Trent (friend was at Uni there), and I wore to the gig a Bjork T-shirt. Maybe this is my fault? www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5Uj...

I saw this band a lot during this era. I think I was at this gig. Loved Therapy?, allowed me to remove my angst to music that was acceptable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8b3...
