Workshop on using Storytelling to Advocate your work with Theatre for Life yesterday at work, I picked these 3 values to build my stories upon related to my approaches to the research and practice I undertake.

Old Rosie 🐱

Managed a bit more tweaking of “RailBreak” over the last week.

Boom 💥 what a start - can’t make home game tomorrow in person but will be hotly following along COYD

Preparing for Bournemouth gig tomorrow, I am taking my Dad and youngest daughter too we are big Moody Blues, Justin Hayward and Mike Dawes fans

FM26 downloaded but now I need to cook dinner, feed the cats, walk the dog and more life stuff before I press play! Oh to be a teenager again!! (Or a YouTuber 🤣)

This train terminates her … faulty sign I hope

A smiling Earth is wrapped in a green ribbon with World Mental Health Day 10 Oct text, featuring the Mental Health Foundation logo and an awareness ribbon.

Today I was at my new part time secondment for 25/26. Slightly mind boggling but had an absolute great first day. Such a wonderful team I am working with. And so interested in my research and ideas on local first, private, decentralised education technology.

Today’s shopping brought to you by the letter P - Potatoes, Paper, Peas.

Uber I never wanted to use you but the cash back on trains pulled me in now I have spent all week with the same errors for Saturday football travel. I should have stuck to my anti capitalist guns …

The Uber app refuses to book my trains (yes I phoned tech support and deleted app and restarted ohone, the website was even worse. See screenshot NaN and also price was higher !.. all I want is my 10% back and to use my uber cash! trying to book trains for football on Saturday since Tuesday…

how do I know which open graph style I am using ? @help (firefox is my browser)

Heading back to my hotel in Belfast. I am very fortunate and glad to be invited back here working at Belfast School of Art as external examiner on another course MDes User Experience and Service Design

Arrived this morning in Belfast. Doing some work with Belfast School of Art until Friday. Last time I was here 2019. Catching up with my great friend Chris Murphy (fehler) as well.

Farkle a simple dice game but great fun to just pick up and play

Hmm @help my PhD / research category page is not working ?

Notes for books sorted. Might have to do more especially considering these have been sitting on my top first Home Screen for a long time !

Just doing a cupboard audit…cinnamon stock levels are OK.

Gonna say garden water feature is now completed.🤔🚰🪄

COYD

Second half

Half time

Game on!

Tonight’s entertainment ⚽️

League one

No BBC this is not the reason for higher energy bills. This will just pit people against people. Horrid journalism.

On campus today to test some new furniture, cushioning seemed good! plus used it as a chance to tidy up office before real return to work (next week), need to actually organise my book shelf’s but that a days job in itself!

Finally managed a bit of time to get my teeth into Dextrous and Screentop for supporting current game research project “Railbreak” screenshot of super early concept stuff atm. But so far these tools have both been wonderfully delightful to set up and use. 🚂 Read more

More rough drafts for a nodenogg.in app icon. The app would act as a “super peer” and have longer term local storage and some extra specific functions as it acts as a “tutor” device alongside being able to run a local copy of the nodenogg.in sync engine for complete intranet usage only.

I hate this device in my home office half of the ink is wasted cleaning the heads for one single postage return label. Epson piece of junk

Well the turn can straight upside down direct into glass thing actually seemed to work. 0% Guinness from a can special pour technique.

Started work on a little water feature for the garden. More parts to come tomorrow, not sure if it will work as I hope but this is just prototype 1. 💧🪴

Saturdays

Pre match Venezuelan food was excellent too

Yes happy home time 2-0 happy days. And my friend Benji on BBC Solent introducing

This guy was living on the edge!

Redraw (draft) of an old / updated nodenogg.in icon for macOS app, no liquid glass insight mind…

We lost 0-1 in the 92nd minute after the boys played an absolute blinder against Cardiff. The Atmosphere was once again loud, exciting and just great to be there for the full 90mins us Dons fans make so much noise it’s great. And check out the new floodlights - blinding bulbs! COYD

Built a small shed - garden works summer 2025

Yesterday I was very fortunate enough to be invited as a guest in the Directors lounge for our away game against Reading. It was a great day out and a win aswell. AFC Wimbledon is such an amazing club and community. COYD

Did someone say local network only nodenogg.in and a desktop Tauri app! Today has been productive!! OK this is very very rough stages but its the part that enables two very important concepts, full local-first, so the sync engine can also be ran locally and the app adds localstorage protection

fyi @help I updated my micro.blog macOS app and now it crashes on launch, anything I can do to help debug it ? going to download a fresh app directly to see if that fixes it - and the icon looks like this

Youngest daughter decided to get a second hand Xbox. I have never owned a Xbox, never wanted to. But this has reminded me how bad M$ accounts are as she is 19 but still connected to me personal account as family so I have now added money to account but she still can’t buy a game pass 🤦

Working on getting open collective up and running, so we can raise a small monthly income to directly support The Strange Tool Store, pedagogy focussed education technology that’s small, local-first, decentralised and private. More details soon - strangetool.store

Football days out. First home game of the 25/26 season.

Bee box doesn’t attract many bees :( 🐝

New hat, new away top acquired. Won 2-0 weekend not ruined. COYD!

We are the owners. First game of the season at home won 2-0 COYD

Meme from a friend today. COYD. AFC Wimbledon and Football Manager back on the front of our home shirts for 25/26.

Wife picked me up a cool Mahjong set haven’t had played for years so need to do some YouTube research 🤣

This maybe the biggest hiccup to the dust off home office desk - although she is the one that malts all over it!

Sunday Southampton

Testing alt text generator… @manton it worked! The little robot appeared ! Thanks

Last season v this season. Smashed it out the park with new kit design again COYD! Season kicks off Friday away to Luton… on Sky (spits on the floor)

Euros 2025

Welcome to UK trains no signal 🙄🤦

New top acquired shortly after midday COYD

Looking up the size guide and such - new AFC Wimbledon tops out tomorrow 🙌

Trying to attack garden so as to enjoy it in August

This week I was invited to talk about games in the Solent area for the Chaos Network at Planet Sounds, Southampton - it was great to chat to local creatives about how they can get into games! Thanks for inviting me, listening and all the questions. Photo credit - Jordan Magnuson

Creative Sector Plan for the UK Industrial Strategy- www.gov.uk/governmen…

Lots of great investment for games unfortunately the new Games Council site is too busy 🤣- videogamescouncil.org.uk

Lots of investment interventions inc education

Photo loading - sometimes a slow internet does cool things - retro gaming Procter here giving a talk yesterday for Southampton Chaos network on the game industry, local opportunities and how anyone can make games.

Holidays

wearewimbledonfund.com

For our youngest daughters engagement party we themed it based on overboard the film and built a crazy golf course now the hanging gardens of Babylon back home have become Tails’s new chill out zone 😻

Sunday time for some Benji

This is good now I get double notices from micro.blog now 🤣

We opened the annual degree show at Winchester School of Art last night. Great fun as ever and this year I got a giant cheque printed for the prize giving 🤣 Gotta be done 💷 (photos hopefully attached now, I kept micro.blog iOS app open)

Heading home after testimonial game at AFC Wimbledon game for Will Nightingale

Anthology aka Blackboard you really do make me sick. The Viva Las Vegas EdTech Show 🤢🤮

We ruddy went and did it … still recovering what a day out

COYD!

On the way to the big match

Count down to Wembley! 💛💙

Only slightly stressed about tomorrow

The boys 🐶 🐱

HT things are going our way but 45 to go

This is what happens you vibe code a yml / docker / azure / github workflow and your not exactly sure what you are doing but at least it is now working! A long list of code commits indeed, most were unnecessary as mainly trial and error vibe coding and watching github workflows break.

🐱

A snippet of a section from my practice based PhD on the “Relevant Pedagogical Concepts” directly relating to the construction of nodenogg.in. Related to the video on previous post on how ai and most edtech actually break a core element of learning the social part.

Downgraded my mobile contract to have reduced data. This month I didn’t make it to the end 2 days to go but I think I just realised at my dog sitting the room I am in was too far from router so at night I was using mobile data 🤦 cheers boys! 🐶

Blue Sky’s on the way to the big match - Wimbledon v Harrogate

Football finances is broken!

Sea gull, blue sky and window reflection

Well in Southampton a perfectly timed cloud was the order of the day… partial eclipse

A good few days visiting as the external examiner for the University of Plymouth reviewing and supporting the undergraduate and postgraduate Games courses.

Great the one really good looking curry house Veggie Perrin’s that had all the vegan and veg options In Plymouth isn’t open - times on door and website say it should be open. Gah!

Classic poor design of a new building not considering that people might mistake this as an entrance so having to stick up a bit of paper and an arrow. Should have considered this and incorporated into the door design / glass.

I have an Amiga 500 mini so my plan is too sort out Cannon Fodder 1 and 2 this week because the mini has a replicator of the original Amiga tank mouse so I might be able to do well 🤣

WSA student game projects featured on BBC South Today as we took part in the annual University of Southamptons Science and Engineering Fair, so great to get this kind of exposure for them.

Dam it lost 1-2 as our game in hand this would have been super useful to win. 🤦 on train home (reposting as image didn’t upload. Micro.blog issue)

Got myself prepared for multiplayer sensible soccer today by picking my custom team.

When your friend sends you this picture you know life is good

Such a great concept from my friend, colleague and artist Dave Gibbons at the Into the Fold book fair last weekend at WSA. He took two copies of the Lady Bird book of birds and edited them into one new edition.

My new @thoughtshrapnel sticker arrived. Stuck it on the back of different note book to my regular sticker I already had on my red book. This one was bought to do daily journals of things you get done. Started when on a course during 1st lock down it didn’t last long but I think I might start again.

Oh yeah another win for the mighty Dons. Matty Stevens Motm - we are 2nd in the league, and he is top goal scorer in the league now.

Ok ok @epilepticrabbit@mastodon.social I confirm I am not a robot 🤣

Being the person whose job it is to identify the wobbly slabs must be kinda cool.

A Sunday Mini Market. All you need locally… if you Vape 🤦

This is insanely positive COYD 💛💙

A fluffy cushion or Monty the Dog 🐶

My 3 cats staring at me each perched on slightly different levels in my home office / Wimbledon tribute “cave” 🐱

Maybe you shouldn’t park here…

Pitch inspection an hour after I have left … 😬 still nice and sunny and I have beer and games

I have to say I am finding my new glasses are very good and comparable to my contacts which I have worn for over 30 years so I don’t see me switching to glasses full time but I am going for a strong 2025 look.

What… my youngest daughter knows what I need - back from her trip to Belfast with gifts

This sign always makes me chuckle. Children’s Play area at the flats built on the old location of Southampton FC, The Dell ⚽️

Did you say you want to hold something at 800°C for 8 seconds… or maybe like me you just don’t want to get burns when taking stuff in and out of the oven. Primajor Gloves gotcha. New gift from middle daughter 🧤

Ha @manton’s photo of the green books as Christmas Tree on sale reminded me of the Snowman made at WSA Library before we broke for the holidays.

Let’s see any good or snake oil. I’ve tried many 0% beers and they are great as spacers but Impossibrew claims no alcohol but still the “beer buzz” which often after a frazzled work day I think a couple of beers would be good which gets unhealthy quickly, especially if you really do like nice beers

Didn’t even know you could view cross posting option in macOS app to turn them on and off but the box doesn’t expand enough like categories. 3.4 (155)

@manton in theory could I set up linked in cross posting but have it off by default ? so I can selectively post by checking it on here…

Middle daughter got me a new cap! Happy Sega Bass Fishing 🎣

09:21 GMT in the UK means that the Earth has reached its maximum tilt in its axis away from the Sun. Which also means that from now, the days will get progressively longer. If you’re growing tired of long nights and dark mornings, more daylight will be on the way in the weeks ahead!

Recording recording … don’t even think about trying to sneak an unexpected item into the bagging area

Another kickstarter I forgot woo

Nothing about using PayPal gave me any peace. Thankfully I have managed to move everything the family paid for away from PayPal

. @manton I guess I still cant send a replies still when using another mastodon instance ? (this is fine, I am use to this I just thought update might do more :) I guess this is as I haven’t set ActivityPub: Fediverse name as I already had my own mastodon name I want to keep and not a new one :)

. @manton will site update ?

Road paint new and old

Woo a great win against Doncaster putting us at the top of the play offs COYD

Good to know another complete waste of time and energy has gone into launching Sora (open AIs video machine) 🤦

Leaving Norway

Testing alt text from micro.blog to Bluesky as they told me off (still refusing to turn on AI for MB images 🫣)

A whole bunch of discussions and meetings at University of Bergen Center for Digital Narrative. Lots of future collaborations on the horizons.

Dinner - Bergen

Due to very early taxi tomorrow to airport for work I am watching game at home FA Cup COYD

What do you mean FA Cup is on soon… 🐱 🐶

I’ll take that point 2-2 with 97th min equaliser and it was darn cold so I bought another hat and scarf

Failed image upload from previous post will add to that post later 0-6 win for the mighty Wimbledon in FA cup youth game. Not many Wimbledon fans to say the least but I made clear my alliance and survived 😂

Good job I Brought my torch. Nice spicy vegan role and good beer at Eastleigh so far (photos reattached)

Supermarket glitch - one of the computer overlords not able too check out my food shop today.

Yeah there was a change I am on annual leave ! So been sitting playing with code

Slowly new playdate game is coming in along more coding with Claude ai (I got pro for a month) today reimagined the main level interface pretty happy so far, but as with any decent project pen and paper always needed

Well at least I know that UK won’t be getting Apple Intelligence.

The boys 🐱🐶

Loss of artic sea ice followed by dieback on the Amazon destroyed us! Brutal end to Daybreak the other week. Really shows that tipping points if they combo would be a major & faster than expected disaster for the planet! Got the family all talking about the climate issues 👍

Fun as ever to celebrate the games design & art students completing 3 years of study with us at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. Here I am captured on the Uni official instagram heading to my seat on the platform ready to cheer (well clap sensibly 🤣) well done class of 2024

My new playdate game is in a good space quickly and able to do some design testing thanks to Claude AI (and a bit of chatGPT but I prefer Claude for this so far) lots to say on how AI can be useful as a tool within Game Design processes but for now back to my game here is a very early sneak peak

Evening

Southampton Sunday

Secret street signs

Can’t park here mate

How many hot animals can you spot…

I was distracted watching so a bit slow on taking the photo. Airplane and helicopter with not a ton of separation! Plus I always forget I set the action button to camera for this kind of thing and I never remember!

Sunny Southampton 28°c

Am I excited about the new season back to podcasting and our new logo to betcha! Sameoldwombles.com

Not everyday you get to hear comments from Alan Kay on the future of the internet. Didn’t get a photo of Vint Cerf but boy these people are sharp! Celebrating 50 years of the internet at The Royal Society In London.

Some interesting comments on the amount of energy the Internet and ICT will consume and that renewables are not the silver bullet answer

Party went well

JAWS party close to kick off

Happy days DHL driver claims he only started working today so either Tuesdays driver is back in training as to what signed for means or he was fired 🤣 - new top finally arrived long sleeve are ace and details are very cool

3 lions on their shirt says Ian 🐱

Fear not this Southampton twat is now the proud owner of a new Wimbledon top who football manager gave the sponsorship to war child you twat. Hey DHL signed for doesn’t mean leaving outside my house NOT signed for you idiots

Signed for sure… or left in my safe space with neighbours thanks DHL parcel of my new Wimbledon top stolen ! You twats. Leaving in my door step is NOT signed for or left with my safe space

Rearranging the front room is always a pain when you have a bunch of consoles to re hook up

Monty 🐶 King of the weekend

Due to hot climate a Fire near the line after Southampton and power issues at Paddington… mean I am starting to further regret 20% off my Blenheim for travelling green could have drove. The trains home are cancelled, running one is 70 mins delayed. You see how this will spiral more climate pain.

A typical day on Englands Public transport #sellingenglandbythepound

AI Arts Festival workshop on Sunday, unpacking and critiquing Generative Image making by prompting, painting and generating.

Tonight! Wooo

Sunday fun workshop for AI Arts festival getting visitors to think about and play with AI image generation by writing prompts and painting while I got mid journey also respond to the same prompts. I feel like a number of participants not only had fun but left knowing a little more about how AI works

All set for my AI Arts Festival workshop. Human to Human - Human to Machine prompting generative painting. Theatre Royal Winchester, England. Part of my work with nodenogg.in and human undertable artificial intelligence.

Well it arrived. I will give a review at some point

Southampton v Leeds play offs

Yesterday another gallery opening I seem to be at almost twice a week at the moment I had great fun Gods House Tower opening of latest Zest Collective work was excellent and a live set from Benji was excellent such a cool guy. Check out his latest Album.

In further news lying face down on a flat roof drilling a polycarbonate roof onto pergola struts as a stupidly skinny man without a cushion was a bad idea. My ribs hate me now

Some of my building fun for Lego serious play activities as part of the faculty two day away day. I know this stuff as approaches to creative thinking but also nice to be on the other side of the coin. It was useful as a mechanism to generally open conversation as much as a thinking approaches.

Plenty to do but not today thanks

Myself and Fine Art Painting Senior Lecturer Dr Christina Mamakos will be showcasing approaches to understanding AI image generation as a creative tool related to Painting practice. Sign up and join our workshop of Human to Human, Human to Machine Prompt image making. Join

Dreamy !

Not feeling blue today after catching a little bit of the living library event on world earth day at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton.

Day 20 What a mountain to climb AFC Wimbledon Women Champions promoted to Level 3 so technically now playing at a higher tier than our men’s first team nationally COYD !

Today pop up showcase at the John Hansard Gallery, Southampton. Final year WSA student games in progress 11-4PM. If your near come and play !

Day 18 we don’t know when his birthday is as he was a rescue abandoned as a young pup so we treat him every day. Monty we sure do love you.

Day 17: I like the mood of our original brand logo which secretly still happens to stay alive thankfully

I love maths

Day 16 - I work in a university… IT, admin & processes often provide transcendence… “experience that goes past normal limits”

Day 15 after strolling to and from Avenue campus (40mins round trip) in the British sun I was certainly a Flâneur and needed refreshment at Beards and Boards craft beer near home.

Day 14 cactus 🌵

Day 13 each page is not that cheerful this month but I do love what Stack sends me 📸

Day 12: Magic performance on the Xylosynth by James Larter. Playing his own stuff + Glass and Reich to close out Moving Colour Exhibition at The Winchester Gallery, Winchester School of Art.

Day 9. Double baked crispy jacket potatoes + crispy bacon + crème fresh for the non vegans at home. (Mashed 🥔 filing was oat milk, vegan cheese, vegan Philadelphia + spring onions) mine topped with vegan cathedral city cheese served with simple salad - I ate my skins too mind. Crispy, creamy, nice!

Day 8 : Prevention 📸

Have been living here for less than two years and this is a pretty rubbish prevention there have been at least 6 crashes I have noted on this cross road and I probably missed others. And it’s a 20mph road!

chatGPT I dont mind you as a coding buddy but I am hoping soon though I will be setup with just local stuff using Ollama and some python going forward soon…. we shall see

Day 7 : well-being

I find that football for me now is even more of a mental health support since covid and work pressures. This is the moment I head to my seat and for 90mins my mind just focuses on one thing our 11 men kicking a ball. 💛💙

💛💙

You can’t really tell but it was windy all the way home from football yesterday day 6 📸

Day 5: serene 📸

• content
• posts_1.json

my images appear blank but I can select them see attached but I dont want to import them to discursive.adamprocter.co.uk I want to import them to my other micro.blog (in same account)

When ChatGPT and I dont really understand yml github actions / workflows and Github organisations settings, combined with personal settings, combined with repo settings…it was a LONG afternoon! However nodenogg.in now has a new live docs site up and running (feel free to guess its URL) 🤣

Day 1 : Toy 📸

My fruit bowl may need some attention 🤣

Southampton please take your bins in….

Delayed trains on the way to the big match. Hoping to pick up my purchased this morning limited edition top AFC Wimbledon X Warm & Wonderful X War Child. 50% of profits go to War Child and 50% to the AFC Wimbledon Foundation.

Any idea @help why I can’t fix this on mobile home page only effected.

🐱🐱🐶

I get home sit down and 2 out of 3 cats and the dog just sit on me and paw me. Yes they have been feed just want more attention and a warm spot I guess 🐱 🐈‍⬛ 🐶

Snuck a pick at Folk session in the Guide Dog Pub Southampton. It was me audience of 1 and 13 players! It was a bit awkward to start but 2 beers in I was just happy to enjoy great live music in a small but lovely pub back room.

More history returned and restored to Plough Lane. Followed by a dreadful 0-2 defeat

Yes I know my hair is thin and thinning but why would the barber encourage a comb over style by leaving the left side longer. Unless you have super glue you will always look well like you have a comb over. Thankfully my daughter apprentice hair dresser of Hampshire in her spare time has fixed it

What the

apple.news/AVoD_D3Oa…

If that’s behind a pay wall here

Dam it 10 weeks and still no recycling collection in Southamptonon central. What the heck!

What what yes yes 0-0 against Grimsby but replica 88 walk out jacket is now mine

The boys are back

Today taking students on a tour of ustwo games, Oval and then taking in the delight digital media arts exhibition in Borough Yards, London Bridge.

Of the 92 clubs to compete across England’s top four divisions in 2022/23, 22 have so far released financials for last season

Of those 22, just four - Manchester City, Watford, Brentford and AFC Wimbledon - booked a profit

Net result across the 22 clubs: £197m loss

Yep

These progress bars etc and visuals and time estimates are difficult to do but I do love this 😂 imagine waiting 39 years for a download

Great game don’t see how this is even useful mind.

I wouldn’t say they are like homeward bound friends to be fair 🤦‍♂️

🐶🐱🐱🐱

Sunday

A non fan in the ground apprently used racist language towards Bugiel at the end of the game, Bradford will do all in there power to remove this person from attending future games (thank you). Photo Bugiel and I with his family after game this season - he is one of my fav players this season.

Well I had an excuse to get my head into Godot 4 at Global Game Jam, We are hosting again at work (Winchester School of Art) this weekend. I do love how easy it is to get things up and running. Fear not I made sure we have healthy snacks too.

Kicking off Global Game at Winchester School of Art today for a weekend of game making. Games will be online to review late Sunday!

Of course on my phone the buttons do not appear. Don’t cha just love a good bit of expensive corporate cloud IT…

Tomorrow’s performance / presentation…. don’t normally use Powerpoint but it was useful for this double team effort … let us see how many people we get doing our new idle social dance we created ! And we couldn’t resist the final slide… which has the music etc for the dance…

Just your typical Sunday… also note how Alexa still spells my name wrong

Making a vegan roast while mainly listening to Vangelis

I’m in the first 100k but because I live in the UK / Europe my Rabbit is unlikely to be dispatched until end of 2024… while shipments in the USA start in Easter and the hardware designers are in Germany… hmm

Picture attached @help I added a books plug in and I guess it’s connected now my blog doesn’t update

🐱

Well it’s the hope that kills you - lost 1-3 - out of the FA Cup unfortunately

Reworking the nodenogg.in high level architecture concepts. Vue is deffo in the mix the rest could be anything although next looking at flask (python) and websockets for some of the sync stuff.

Great to see us closing off 2023 in 6th and a playoff spot. COYD. 2024 start could be tough with 2 strikers called up for the Asia Cup let’s hope for the best.

It's the hope that kills you.

🐶

Saturday evening. Time to chill 😎 🐶

Ian I do not see how you are helping me solve the climate crisis 🐱

At one point I honestly thought I was ahead 😵‍💫☀️❄️☔️🤔🫠 daybreak game solo play - game over 12 communities in crisis on the final round - no where near draw down so was game over no matter what

Getting battered in solo Daybreak again - this climate crisis is a tough nut to crack ☀️ ❄️ ☔️

From prototype to final production game. So glad I played a small role in this and glad to have backed it!

Trains 🚂

Week 1 isn’t over yet openday and more this weekend. Brain fried but great to be back with students making stuff that’s the real deal

My Rose 🐱

Daughter #3 bought home a new kitten. So we are back to 3 cats, 1 dog and a hamster 🐹🤦🏻‍♂️

Laminate, Monty, Playstation

🐶

🤣 delaying I think what he means is advancing (extinction) 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️😬🤣😘🤔

Just watching some flights … pretty busy morning 😬🤣

This sums it up. We drew 2-2.

This is modern Britain. Yep blocked in a carer and teacher.

It has arrived

Of course too in the moment to post anything from Wednesday so here is as they now say a photo dump from that evening

Cheapest option wanted me to print tickets 🤷‍♂️

Last time my Dad was at Stamford bridge we won 4-0. Not sure we can replicate that tonight but we travel ! COYD

Evie (17) today new to playing football, coach said she should watch and play as much football as possible. Evie said well I’ve done a lot of watching…this is true

Mathew and Adam are pleased to release the first public version of Finistère alpha v0.1.5 for Playdate.

Alpha release on itch.io now

Making some pleasing progress on playdate game Finistère - you can follow more progress at itch.io Yesterdays progress was the scrolling map. (gif attached)

First time on train visiting his friend Abendigo. Slight detour to not get wet feet in Salisbury

Hey outlook ios update I hate you - pointless notifications now

Vegan chicken things and sauce testing 🤣

Youngest daughter (17) first outing with Hamble United FC and really enjoyed the training session this evening. ⚽️

In 1966 England hosted the World Cup and went on to win it. Photos of some of material my late mum kept from then. Now this Sunday England may well win the World Cup again. It’s been a long time but as the nation sings “it’s coming home” it might well be…

Home brew batch one is set to cooling / ready to refrigerate - should allow 10 days / 2 weeks however I have had to try some a few days in as batch two is under way and I am now aiming for 24 batches. Tastes like a good IPA hydrometer suggested 4.5% before adding any fizz, I am agreeing.

Before marrying my Dad my mum followed Chelsea. Becoming more of a Dons follower after but back in 1966/67 she received the supporters newsletter in which they were considering starting a ladies team as was Wimbledon Supporters' club. In 2 days time the National team play in the World Cup final! ⚽️

Good morning 🐶

Test post from sunlit to confirm cross posting is ok

This isn’t Chelsea … players in the bar after the match. Here I am with my new fav! His family also here lovely !

test photo cross post to Flickr and Pixelfed…from micro.blog

Monty and I are getting happy in our new slowly coming together new corner of the garden #lobstershack2 🐶 🪴 🕸️

🐶 🪴

Monty is already liking my new corner of the garden which is now slowly being set up.

Holiday

COYD

Not travelling to Grimsby but first game of the new season today. However it’s suppose to be sunny and hot. It’s cold, wet and windy. This is not how the season is suppose to start. COYD. Ps Season 2 of Same Old Wombles podcast started this week - sameoldwombles.com

Dusting off the brew kit

Holiday Day 1/35 - returning house to normal after throwing a summer party for youngest daughter and friends. Only one thing got broken and it was repairable.

Test working well

Summer party at the Procters prep

So I agreed to a cowboy themed summer house party for our youngest (17) and friends, I am the bouncer and middle daughter is monitoring of sensibilities but my wife doesn’t do things in half, here is one of our guests arriving a little earlier than anticipated

Supporting my son in law and granddaughter at Southampton this evening. Probably should have been a draw but unfortunately 2-3 to Bournemouth

If weren’t fan owned this wouldn’t even be a consideration for me at all but for now I will just close my browser and not think about it…

Throw back to last Thursday

Arsenal v West Ham 1468

Evie (my youngest daughter), Doctor Procter, and my Dad.

More to come from department away day yesterday. Guess where!? (And before you ask no dreamland wasn’t open 😞 so no pinball or roller skating for me this time but we did cool stuff)

Hypocrite

Was a windy Saturday in Southampton near home

Work Staff Party 2023

Moving in day to around a year and a bit later. I love my home office a lot although I don’t use it much as an office to be fair, however it’s my own space to game, code and watch YouTube/ sports (and hide) 🤣👍

You turn your TV on and this is the junk you have to deal with … Ts & Cs 🤦🏻‍♂️

Of course it does

That was weird. Flicked app off and was ok. Although new post button was missing but came back when I changed between tabs @vincent 🤷‍♂️

Been a busy few weeks with assessment and shows so back to some slow work

Oh yeah brilliant on time with minus 3 to change. Good job the Tardis is parked at Woking…

Not at Glastonbury or Harry styles in Cardiff ?? well you know where you should be! @hoxton_arches tonight play games drink beer (or soda) #wsagames

Not taken by me (Instagram friend) and I am not into the royals but that is one impressive close formation flying ! ✈️

Tonight 6PM at Winchester School of Art, play games, see art, celebrate creativity. If you really can’t make it live stream from the Rotunadome! twitch.tv/gamesdesi…

More tweets coming in on new archive but @manton my log looks poorly mind too

This is why I love micro.blog and try and tell everyone to get on it. Stickers sent to me for just being a micro.camp / micro.blog community member ! Thanks @jean @manton @vincent @cheesemaker wonderful!! From USA -> UK too!

For those of you wondering about the innovation of spatial hypertext / infinite canvas after hearing these words at Apple Park… FYI infinitecanvas.tools

a literally “infinite” canvas may never exist

Also had my own list on notion aswell

• @vincent there is also a scrolling issue in editing posts? I am sure you are aware and not hassling just filing

I’ve tried them and it’s like magic

Well I think I am going to start utilising this as my new photo of me… need to edit to a square for profiles and see if readable.. Photo of me at GDC 2023 in a workshop taken for the official GDC Flickr stream

Can’t do more in the garden. Break needed. Trying to get it all organised for the holidays. But it’s proving to be a lot of digging up roots of brambles that are not useful in their current locations.

Seems people with dogs who also buy pedigree jelly in pouches mega packs also try to quit smoking

FYI @vincent @manton the scrolling issue still persists in 3.0.3. I think it has something to do with dashes

However closing and reopening the post sheet fixed it. Also to note that with scrolling working typing that close to the options bar and over the character count is quite jarring.

I may match Beato with Ray Ban as reading glasses for my YouTube channel but my views are well under…. 10 🤣

hmm @NetNewsWire @danielpunkass your icons have crosses on my new m2 macbookpro when using SwitchGlass by @siracusa@mastodon.social (see attached) ?

So last week very few on our road had a regular waste taken at all. And this week my recycling bin isn’t fully emptied. But from April our council tax bill was increased. Broken Britian.

I really think that Steve Jobs would be fuming about the state of the Apple software keyboard on iOS today. Serious iOS 1 had a better keyboard and the story of its development by Ken Kocienda is awesome

Reflections bank holiday

Trains

Trains home

Hotwheels ramp is missing the loop de loop.

World transformed anti captalism game event arrived and set up (ignore the crinkly paper)

On Sunday go slow trains to the world transformed anti captalism game jam event in Bethnal Green. Bringing game zines created by our year 1 students. Also last day of the premier league means it’s busy too!

Bank holiday Monty

I ain’t doing nothing

Almost a year since we suddenly lost my mother in law and then towards the end of 2022 my mum as well. 2022 was rubbish and I still feel like we are all recovering.

Yes LinkedIn I am going up in the world 🤣 no I’m not buying a pro subscription…

What’s that saying…

Forget it B&E you are not needed.

On a Sunday I get to play with a bunch of friends online.

Nice! thanks @sod for posting - tegel - LOVE HULTÉN dctr.pro/2oa

I wonder if we could have more options @help as Huge for me is well sometimes not Huge enough

Today Monty the dog realised the door had blown open and got out. Went on a rampage around town! Somehow he was unharmed and picked up by a kind citizen who brought him home. The alternatives to todays situation don’t bear thinking about 🐶

My day is done

Great time running gaming talks, play sessions and game making all related to the climate crisis and how table top games can play a positive role in understanding, talking about and thinking about these types of wicked problems faced by humanity over the last 3 days. Thanks to all who attended!

Playing with the Climate Crisis event starts today! www.southampton.ac.uk/blog/suss…

The new import of Twitter archive into micro.blog is exactly what I wanted, all my tweets safe BUT not on my blog but separated out to url /tweets which allows you or me to search and read them, nice one @manton all imported now. (NB missing media is video/ audio but I didn’t have a lot of that)

So @help as I am watching my logs due to Twitter import is this anything I need to worry about? Posting from MB beta app

Well my wife wanted a Ring door bell I had said no we have cameras and that doesn’t fit with apple home kit (I’m glad now as it’s only bothers her) anyway it was finally set up today and guess what first callers where knock down ginger / knock and run ! 🤣 (image 2/3 from eufy HomeKit camera)

Sometimes you just have to go into a bar and then the story starts 🤪

I see faces

Pleased to see ubisoft doing the same as my workshops by looking to map the UN SDGs to game ideas. Certainly going to double down on this across all years & all projects

Look at that robot stealing our jobs

Day 3 GDC - fascinating insight into the Level Design process in Rollerdrome next up the awards ceremony.

Learning more about wholesome games, great new indie games and teaching sustainability in game design at GDC day 2 AM

Day 1 at GDC San Fransisco - I am planning to attend all day workshop on bringing climate action into game making just a about to head to Moscone centre to register. First I needed to buy a travel adapter from Walgreens. BART ride in last night was pretty sketchy

Thanks

As an academic we have to do a lot of writing in various forms some useful and exciting, some less so. But to help my team have started Friday Write Club 🧼 where I have timed boxed a few hours for pomodoro style heads down writing. Day 1 went well I managed around 1000 new words

My mum kept photos I have never seen then and now 🤣

Yes Rosie you can be a double pain 🐱

Rosie you are a pain sometimes 🐱

Made some notes on todays UK prime minister announcement.

Not sure this is the future of my Home Screen 1&2 but @0xquirk has some folder ideas I may deploy instead

I also going to tackle my iPhone Home Screen this week just make Home Screen one blank to move in new important icons … will lose some muscle memory but also gonna make Home Screen 2 my fav widgets the rest can do what they like search is my friend

I’m just a lumpy rug… 🐶

What…. Happy holidays people 🐶

Cat and dog (Tails and Monty) 🐱 🐶

🚮🗑️

I think a load of the time was in the GT7 menus bumbling around mind 🤣 if you like racing then this is a great game, Dirt 5 was also in my top 5 and trackmania on my steamdeck is a fav. It’s funny I love racing but really don’t know much about cars at all 🤪 I’m an anti-petrol head really but racing is damn cool.

Blooming jerks last two games they rage quit “poor connection” my arse I was winning - eFootball 2023

Southampton Sunday

One less of the boys in the house Marms (Marmalade our cat) was put to sleep today. He got cancer in his tongue and the tumours meant he just couldn’t eat in the end he was too old for any surgery and it’s quite common for cats of his age as I understand it -🐱😞

🐱

I’m taking time off chilling with some of the gang. 🐶🐱🐱

The last time I lived permanently with my Mum I would travel to art college in the early 90s most days listening to Secret World Live by Peter Gabriel on tape in my Walkman. Now she is gone I listen walking the dog today via Apple Music and much more superior headphones.

I don’t know why Mastodon are advertising in my local heavy metal pub…. But clearly anti Twitter in here 🤣

iPad is now ready to make graphics for play.date 🤣👍

Trying a new mic set up for same old wombles podcast on a Monday night let’s see if it’s worth it

PSN premium needs to sort out bringing back Vib-Ribbon with Apple Music or Spotify even that would be fantastic!

Saturday we lost and wasn’t a good atmosphere but cool rainbow and packed ground.

Well Marmalades air tag was very useful as he had been shipped to a 3rd vets by a neighbour 🤦🏻‍♂️ I located him last night when closed and god job as his microchip wasn’t scanning by the vets. Plus for ID purposes I fortunately have loads of photos of him.

I hate train strikers … oh hang on I guess I should just continue to hate millionaire greedy share holders not being fair or … listening to the “fans” - stuck at home as no way to get to our first win at home since July - thanks COYD

Finally catching up with Render() Tools for Thinking. - dctr.pro/2nu

“I know there is a squirrel in here somewhere” 🐶 🐿️

New shoes join older shoes with some Sneaky Spray ready for match days COYD

Pay my £10 … 3 mins later regretting it

Yes it’s back thank you iOS 16 percentage battery is back. 🪫 🔋

For goodness sake.

Also to my neighbours (please) stop handing marmalade in to the local vets. He maybe old be is not a stray. I collected Marms again from another local vet this week when he was “found” literally on the street he lives on.

Having ownership of the place you live has an impact I am only just starting to really appreciate. I’m mean I hated land lords before but now I really do.

Monty is now mainly making sure Southampton behaves #eagleeyes

Crazy stuff. Mad history in the making.

Took me a while to work this out ! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Next to make crank rotate sprite… but first bed… #sideprojects gitlab.adamprocter.co.uk/adamproct…

Clearly the back of my head is the best for Instagram stories 🤣 Games & creative coding will be represented at main campus open day this Saturday

One of the original ideas for the play date was a game watch. I found mine today (needs battery) while sorting some of our final boxes from the move.

What what you left a gap there… what was I suppose to do 🐱🙀

I didn’t even know you could have brown rated windows 🤣

Marms back in 2010

Not a stray just getting old.

My Sunday gaming team avatars care of DALL-E 2 - pro eSports soon no doubt. Thanks @dajb@social.coop for making it happen

This is called winning at LinkedIn 🤣

Family not well but future son in law turned up with spare ticket to sit with him and watch his team Southampton at home beat Chelsea. Nice one! Most games clash with the mighty Dons but I’m now on his list of buddies to take 👍

Cat appears in your house not yours…what do you do…

A)shoo him out as he looks healthy and just curious B)call pet hospital to take him miles away

Fact Marms lives literally 50 yards from you next time please shoo any healthy looking cat out of your house!

He lives with us!🐱

Why do I go… but then MotM presented by 95 year old fan is worth losing + John Fashanu pre match 😬 and gladiators is coming back!

Friday nights guests have departed 🐶

Extra Gull

If it’s good for one it’s good for two 🐈 🐈‍⬛ but will Marmalade join…

My indoor cat has become a slightly more outdoor cat 🐱

Quiz time Cushion or not…

After finally sorting all the cables and then tackling set up in new front room. I am waiting on one big surge protected extension lead and have yet to find official switch charger which is rather annoying, however all inputs working and so the now gaming room is ready to roll.

Time to crack on with plugging in all the retro consoles in our gaming / front room …

Hot

Game on

Rosie 1/3 cats has gotten quite adventurous in our new house location. I always get stressed when she is out

Next weekend the pain of which top to wear will be real… wooo COYD

Not an England fan but I cheered on the team Sunday, my daughter has been coming to watch Wimbledon with me since she was 1, she would ask why she didn’t play as much football as the boys. I was it turns out ignorant at the lack of opportunities for girls, always learning.

University of Southampton purchase and upgrade of the Sir James Matthews building is coming along with new decals running around the bottom about our research activites. The cool Spitfire public art by Ray Smith (360 degree roll) still intact thankfully

Fantastic

Yeah that is not happening! Only just about settled into new house so how they can base these new estimates is beyond me

Wooo

Main reason for being annoyed I forgot my headphones is for noise cancellation on the trains. 🚂- Games London show opens tonight. Hoxton Arches exhibition space.

Last couple of days of our big move. My home office is ahead of the curve in terms of usability compared to everywhere else but I’m mega please so far 👍👍

Woooo my playdate is coming soon!

Every time I eat a bag of crisps this stresses me out. All the onus is on the consumer. Wrong wrong wrong.

On this day in 2004. Acting in a friends film.

Local games for me but the dates are just no good for me. 😫

Been a mad busy 2022. Lining up to start/ finish some audio books over the rest of the year.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Ok I have to work tomorrow but that was a busy and stressful week so the weekend starts here

Follow all the rules Procter or become foul of the law. Lady wasn’t having any of my innocence as a newbie 🤦🏻‍♂️😤

Happy days

First time relegated as AFC Wimbledon in our twenty year history as the Phoenix rising from the destruction of Wimbledon FC but what a trip so far. Next season … Bring it on!

Nuts

Thankfully 4-4-2 magazine got it right www.sensiblesoccer.de/swos-2020

Indeed 🤣

Now the madness begins can actually pack in earnest now as we have a house! Dragging bikes out of sheds 🤣

7-1 AFC Wimbledon ladies great win

COYD

The India Club

Enjoying my time with students at WASD Iive at Tobacco dock London. Nice chats to devs and insightful talks.

Gary Carr - Theme Hospital Mark Webley - Theme Hospital Charles Cecil - Beyond a Steel sky

Great devs (obviously)

Off to the Isle of Wight

Took early student games final major project prototypes to test at Southampton FCs stadium, Barclays Eagle Lab game Day event. Good fun. I also joined the first team squad for the forthcoming season, they are no AFC Wimbledon so they need some help.

Nitin Sawhney - Camden Roudhouse

GT7 has had a bumpy start. I love the game but I can confirm the roulette daily wins always gives out small cash - another fix needed

No no no no no

Thankfully GT7 is awesome

6 days and counting. The struggle is real. PhD

Erm did someone say Moon Rocket roll out & Eddie Vedder playing invincible … excellent

Nope iCloud server status green icon you are not correct. No iCloud photos, no Find my, no sync of other apps clearly you have problems. The cloud is the worse middle man.

Unbelievable

Ok the Yarris is in the Garage and I have 1.6 million credits so I must have the deluxe edition. No idea how to get to the official sound track mind…

Ok GT7 downloaded and I can play it BUT I bought the deluxe edition - so what the heck is going on

Oh pre download pre release how annoying 🤣

Crumbs this is even more worrying.

After the debacle that was / is eFootball on PS5. I decided to try FIFA 22 on Stadia as it was £18. Firstly story thing is weird but although game play is not like Pro Evo it’s not bad it’s just different. Need to check Stadia and FIFA settings but was nice to play a friend.

Yes! I got roundhouse tickets!

We are living in a metaverse already ! Dam it 🤪

Fantastic talk to the Department today, on campus and remote from @aral@mastodon.ar.al talking about people farming, web3 and why the alternatives matter small web, web0 however my ability to take photos terrible - thanks again, lots for the team to think about. watch it

Bah cookies and not even an proper Home Screen icon NY Times already off to a bad start

Let’s go! COYD

Monday Steve Bromley came and ran a games user research workshop, then Wednesday we live streamed a play test of the physical prototype of Day Break (printed and lasercut at WSA) a co-operative board game about climate action being developed by Matteo Menapace and Matt Leacock!

Grandchild number two. Might win him over to AFC Wimbledon over Southampton FC… the family made me hold him 🤣 Banon has arrived, his sister still managed to cause chaos mind ☹️🤪

🤦🏻‍♂️ dam

New football shoes sorted. COYD

Sat slightly nearer than my usual seat, bunch of friends seat swapping but we still lost 🤦🏻‍♂️

Dirt 5 on PSN / PS5 is excellent. Of course codemasters know how to do racing games but this has great circuits and proper arcade feel plus I am not too confused with all the upgrade trees (aka I don’t care)

Tomorrows breakfast is upgraded!

So on top of my generally terrible eye sight I am now at that age I also need reading glasses but I like these and so ordering a pair

No fault… hmm turns out “something” of my line in the cabinet had been “unplugged” now reconnected to new “lines” and … boom 💥 download from 28Mbps back higher than previous stable 55 and now at 64Mbps ! Good job I didn’t cancel the engineer 😊 I am now a happy Procter

2017 / 2021 / 2022 slower and slower

Hey Musk and Bezos this came out in 1987 🤔

My o2 phone verses my current BT broadband 🤦🏻‍♂️ BT just wins. Half the speed I had a month ago. Hope for good news to report next week.

Really my max speed is 30… Hmm well it wasn’t until this last month.

This is when you know BT is not quite being truthful about your max connection speed when in November it was consistently at 55 and now always under 30… engineer booked and will certainly be asking them to explain. Also if you live in house 8 on my road you get 900! Unbelievable

This stuff is awesome

🤣 zero…however it’s good for me to see a review of my own writing from the week. You can still subscribe mind if you really want a newsletter of all my blog posts sent to your email each week - https://discursive.adamprocter.co.uk 🤣

Delayed train added extra stop so what you mean is transfer between trains is not 13Mins but minus 2 so I am now wondering if between Basingstoke and Woking I can make a time machine … hope this train goes to 88mph

Belated photo from following the mighty Dons away yesterday to Cambridge, we lost but lovely city to stay over at, nice pubs, coffee and buildings

Guardian - climate crisis data chart. We need stuff this to be much like the Covid data we have had ever present to keep it at the forefront of societies conscience.

30 days to see this maybe a bad idea or I may have a new brain soon.. indexing large chunks of my Mac and starting to clip things into Devon Think

The awesome @dajbelshaw@fosstodon.org sent me this gift - I’m pretty intrested to see how it works especially on my 60fps OLED tv

I know they have gone but what kinda album could the Robots have done in relation to the climate crisis. I don’t know them (obviously) but I feel they could have moved the world.

It’s says zero 🤣

Mother in law is losing her mind, unfortunately but I can take watching the awesome Columbo to keep her company tonight, my wife is out helping tonight at her work (local nursing home)

Thanks @dotsandspaces mentioned this on a podcast a while back have since read and now am buying for the whole team. Totally what we have always done without really realising but a great read and a much needed boost for me too

Met most of our new year one BA (Hons) Games Design & Art Students this week for our welcome week on campus, in person! So we made an animated gif.

UK shortage of labour will effect crucial parts of the economy. Emergency visas likely to be issued to enable more overseas workers in the UK.

Well the iPhone 12pro is no match for an insanely cool looking bright moon.

Festival conference starts tomorrow always one of my highlights of the year. Can’t attend too much this year though. But there is so much great stuff, if your into making and designing games this is the place to be this week!

Hello @help @manton no idea how notifications work on iOS. But I seem to have gone from none to getting multiples for the same reply 4 from Sunlit beta and 2 from MB app 🤷‍♂️ (these are from mastodon tho) no big deal just FYI

A complex world changed a lot 20 years ago. Here is a photo I took in 2018 while I again pondered on that moment. Although not directly effected the repercussions are felt still.

At my favourite London Venue. Brixton Academy. With my daughter to see Passenger. My first time seeing him was 10 years ago in a pub with about 30 other people. Slight upgrade 🤣

Back at work day one walking home by the river.

YouTube you are out of order

Coming 19th November

Tonight I was suppose to be at the AFC Wimbledon sponsors dinner but due to Covid I couldn’t attend. My friend Alex went as my guest without me with one mission … get a Photo with Nesta Guinness-Walker please (my fav player) and yes his great grandad is Sir Alec Guinness

Sunday evening on the PS5 with the Sunday gang was awesome

Hard press screen recording button in iOS control centre and you can decide to enable the microphone aswell! How would have known!! I want to record some notetaking with audio as I make real-time notes in OneNote / Muse although I feel file size will be horrendous but will try

Against Scunthorpe and testing main stands too capacity

Ah ha so you know if you made the 20,000 as receipt will say late 2021. Wooooooo

When you get stressed cause you can’t play your mindful music you know your not in a good space 🤣

well that was stressful but I think I have one for myself and one for games students to play with (just need the web tool asap 😉) all being well both shipping this year….both pre-order numbers are under 20,000 play.date

Oh it tells you when they are ready to play…

Yes we keep this in our medicine cupboard. Published 1987

When I was younger I owned an Amiga 500+ never had an Atari tested this one today and it’s working. Next to get a game to test the disk drive - eBay suggests sensible soccer is only a tenner… also need joystick 🕹

My new socks have arrived and should prove my competence on the open sea.

I would have enjoyed to see some international matches in 2030 however after scenes across London where people can’t behave even in the “fan” zones. So if England did still host I would be very very selective about the games we might consider attending. Us at Wembley 2018.

The Euros final have united people in England ? I beg to differ. Our arcade event is next Tuesday evening in London and today this is a message from one of my students. (they agreed I could share)

As actual football fans. We are disgusted at the scenes at Wembley, Trafalgar Square and the racist abuse of England players. I hope that the footage and messages on social media ensure these people if not already are banned from attending any games. Photo of us at Wembley 2016

This drives me nuts. I am signed in everywhere and then messages will do this. Due to the “microbrowser” not being signed in … but can I sign in without being pushed to the native app.. nope

I’m case you didn’t know that the crisp companies fairly and squarely place recycling in the consumers hands. 🤦🏻‍♂️ upside down world people upside down

In random follow of awesome track via Apple Music Chill Mix picked for me. I’ll be checking this next and the game also Sounds super interesting

With this mad weather I hope to get the global warming part of climate crisis on the 20th July 🤪 “benefits” of the climate collapse is you could play games and have a beer in the sun and meet me (if for some strange reason you wanted to🤪🌞😎) 2021 Graduate Games Showcase invite

You can’t see them but as I walked the dog I could hear lots of buzzing. Looking into the bushes revealed lots of Bees 🐝 doing there thing. I thought to myself “good keep going humans need you, I know most don’t appear to care for your existence but I do”

Ok… why… who … terrible… new houses - red , green, white doors

5 years ago today. A play off final where I didn’t mind if we lost as it had been an amazing season and I didn’t think we were ready for league one. I was wrong, the win was such a surprise and so much joy and we have been in league one ever since! (Occasionally only just 🤣)

🐶 (Saturday afternoon - UK bank holiday weekend)

We had a perfect year to turn these lights on at work. Nope missed the chance never came on, Dam you 🤣. #covidtimes

Vaccine treat 🤣

I didn’t post on my blog over the weekend in solidity for the football blackout. But it was a great weekend for us, although we lost we secured league 1 place due to other results and a great run of games. And also the club sent me this certificate which was a wonderful gesture.

Yes got my vaccine appointment. But NHS blue on blue for the appointment numbers doesn’t seem like a good accessibility choice. Also 5G ! Didn’t realise we had that in my area yet 👍👍 double awesome

Finally. Let’s see how this goes

Yes! I am tempted to drive to get one this week.

COYD ⚽️

nodenogg.in 0.1.42 is out fixes to z-index and now you can colour code your nodes 👍

nodenogg.in 0.1.40 is now out with connections back up and running (as bad as before but now in native SVG with no pixi dust! - thats a good thing as pixijs was overkill and ramping up CPU temps)

Pretty pleased with performance of nodenogg.in 0.1.39 however now to rebuild connections.

Well I can confirm that Pixi.js is not going to be my drawing option going forward, connections currently disabled. With and without. Nothing happening in nodenogg.in just left browser open.

Today’s trolley problem. Hooligans left it outside my house in my village. So I had to walk it back to the shops. Of course I did this wearing my football top and face covering. I then bought the Guardian and Vegan bacon. I am all the cliches in one morning.

Oh come on new ps app there are zero notifications go away badge 🤦🏻‍♂️

Walking the dog and this playlist got me super nostalgic for weekends in Newport, South Wales in the 90s. Crawling so many bars , cocktails and none stop dancing (well jumping) in TJs or the basement of The Cotton Club and walking home picking up cheese & garlic Mayo chips.

Well I cant push my changed code /or changelog to my gitlab but I can at least update the public facing nodenogg.in

• enhanced the onboarding tips
• updated some icons
• Toby fixed bug in zooming out and moving nodes (thanks)

0.1.34 is now live - enjoy !

Home home game! COYD ⚽️ what a moment in our history. Fan owned community stadium wonder!! A beacon!

After 29 years tonight we return home back at Plough Lane. The FA said a new such as Wimbledon Town would not be in the wider interests of football when they approved the decision to rip Wimbledon FC from it community as the team and league place was stolen from its community and relocated over 70miles away. We started AFC Wimbledon, we regained our league place and today is another nail is an already shut tight case that the FA and the then owners of Wimbledon FC where utterly wrong. We are fan owned and community focussed and we are back in the Heart of Wimbledon ⚽️ playing down the road in Kingston was a great place to be since 2002 but there’s no place like home! Come on You Dons

Hey @help this is odd?

😸🐶 didn’t last long mind…

In an alternative Universe things didn’t go well for Paul after The Jam and although the hot knife business did ok later in life Paul developed cancer from breathing in polystyrene fumes. It wasn’t the best thing that had ever happened to him.

Yes yes yes ! I fixed a major glitch in nodenogg.in ! of course fix was deceptively simple but took me about a day and a sleep to work it out ! I think this calls for lunch !!

Is the new MB 2.0 macOS app add post button suppose to be that small? @manton

🤷‍♂️💥 Might as well

I’m ready for my next zoom / teams meeting, this way I can avoid historical hand issues

Time to Blow of a day of meetings, which is the start of a week of meetings

What a composer.

“What … I’m not doing anything” 🐶

Back in June 2014 I talked about my research and how we should move from a files and folders based interaction specifically within education VLEs and focus on a design led experience. - vimeo.com/98131152

Science, we hope, keeps us alive. But the arts and humanities keep us sane.

A quick dive into pixijs for the next level of the spatial human interface for nodenogg.in as we are now able to start a return to the main abstracted view that allows you to start to quickly organise your thoughts with connections and clusters in teams.

In-between meetings managed to discuss how to start to get the bigger spatial ui view back to latest nodenogg.in with its new concept of vue layers and views by a combination of the canvas nodes layer and a new layer of webgl for the more abstracted spatial view.

All Human Beings - Max Richter 2020. Excellent. Just wish it was as long as Sleep! Amazing.

For ages I’ve been saying to my wife just do a big shop online. I attempt it for proper myself this week oh my word. Wife is now having the biggest laugh. None of the items are the sizes I expected not even the beer! Who can get through 100g of Parsley in a week ?!

Did someone say IPFS files in nodenogg.in ? … YouTube … yes they did💥

Oh nice looks like the new sitejs.org site from @aral@mastodon.ar.al and @laura@mastodon.laurakalbag.com is up. Will have a play. Not sure I can run on my centOS VPS yet. Loving the strap line.

Going online with students is not all about teaching or providing content. You have to maintain community and keep enthusiasm. Last week we played with Mozilla Hubs and to wrap up today we played CodeNames. Play and engagement will be vital going forward.

About a week ago I just bought what there was…. this was double the price of our normal own brand bleach and I can say for sure it’s no way 10x bleach… I didn’t fall for the advertising before and now I’ve proven its nonsense doesn’t work at all

I’m having one of those days. Achieving next to nothing. And how this didn’t destroy my Mac mid supplemental update is astonishing (and one positive today). 15” MBP Battery (service required) literally lasts no time, new MBP 16 needs to hurry up.
