Just did @bsky.app age verification via face age estimation. Much easier than faffing around with scanning a drivers licence or passport.

Played Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/20... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com I came last in a four player game but just survived my last turn underground with only 1 yellow out of 13 cubes drawn. Very enjoyable.

Denix replica Short Land Pattern Brown Bess compared with a reenactment India Pattern. The main failing on the Denix is the bayonet attachment. It also has an octagonal barrel near the stock, which is unlikely to be correct. It's also missing sling swivels. Otherwise very nice.

Played Patchwork on 2025-03-26 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/16... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com I don't tend to buy 2 player only games so I'm glad I've had a chance to try this out.

Played Tipperary on 2025-03-26 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com This really is an excellent quick game for up to 5 players.

My local community is getting wound up by St. Hilda's College, which appears to be making a mess of Radley Large Wood, possibly taking out too many trees in poor conditions with large vehicles. www.facebook.com/groups/60380...

Played Tungaru today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/27... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com

www.instagram.com/reel/DEa5Rk4... One for juggling drummers to aspire to!

Just used ChatGPT for the first time for a programming task to good effect. I wanted a Python script to merge PsychoPy CSV files based on the headers. It also successfully bug fixed the Arabic script by suggesting I try windows-1256 encoding instead of utf-8.

Decided to end the festive season with a Christmas film. A bit cringe worthy in places but generally amusing. m.imdb.com/title/tt2199...

A baker's dozen of seminal board games which gave rise to (or popularized) key mechanics. boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/349... Apologies for the image -- I've ordered them by date!

FTP access to 2000.org restored I've fixed OSCar's Secret Santa 2000ad.org/oscar/secret..., Alec Trench's Thrill Pitcher 2000ad.org/thrillpitcher/ and the Red Alert Survival Wallet 2000ad.org/redalert/. I've improved the code breaker so it now maintains case instead of only working lower to upper.

Just shared the secret of Windows-V with a student. "Sick!" If you don't know what it does but do use Ctrl-V, do it now and turn on your clipboard history.

2000 AD fandom has lost another hero! 🙁

Fully funded PhD studentship to study the psychology of the 'spiritual but not religious' at Oxford Brookes University. Please share and/or message me if interested. Applications due: January 17th, 2025 #religion #spirituality #cultevo #psychology #PhD

The Secret Santa page I wrote years ago stopped working due to a change in database name during a server move. I currently don't have access to 2000ad.org so I've rewritten it to work on 2000ad.net. I had to change mysql code to mysqli. Free for anyone to use. 2000ad.net/oscar/secret...

I've created a wordsearch app. in PsychoPy. It shows one word at a time. How important is it to be able to highlight words as you see them as opposed to having to find the current target? run.pavlovia.org/vespr/wordse... To customise, go to run.pavlovia.org/vespr/wordse... Feedback welcome

I just made a Google sheet for colour schemes in PsychoPy for colour-blind participants using Tol (2021)'s suggested colour schemes. discourse.psychopy.org/t/colour-sch... docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
