Re: [[Oracle]], evolved

It's time for another update. Back in Feb, I was looking into adding Google's Gemini into the project. It turned out to be stupid easy by the time I got around to it. When I had started the rewrite referencing the PaLM API, it looked to be quite involved. Now after several months of iteration, it wa...

Re: [[Oracle]], evolved

Work continues on Oracle, who will soon be called [[Orycle]] everywhere. I just released a rewrite that started last May to move from CommonJS to ES6 so that I could upgrade some of the packages to use them how they were intended to be used.

Spiritfarer

mWcDpodmiKg Spiritfarer is a "cozy management game about dying". What a tagline, eh? But it is exactly that. It's a very chill game where you take over the captain's duty from Charon of ferrying spirits through their afterlife to the "everdoor". And you get to do it with a CAT a...

Re: tsnLAN 20th Anniversary Edition

Hey folks! Given the requirements of "adult life", since it was 15 - 20 years after the last time we had a LAN Party, we're going to condense the event and move it entirely online, with an option to come in person still on the table. The post above has been updated with the latest details....

Smoking: Briskets

Today I attempted to smoke my first brisket. I followed a YouTube video for beginners and learned some lessons along the way. I have an electric smoker and wood chips, so the instructions in the video were followed, but had to be modified along the way with what I know about how my smoker works. The...

Re: Indefinite Construction?

The tsn9 demo site is back up under a new repository, as is this base forum codebase. This represents a break from the tsn8 implementation, and a decision to cease modifying the source code of the underlying forum software, and to try to build the entire tsn experience into a single extension which ...

Back to the forums!

Well, just as quickly as I was able to set it all up, the tribe platform version of the site will also be taken back down. Staring in Feb 2023, they will not offer a free plan anymore, and I would have to upgrade to a paid plan. This normally wouldn't be much of a problem, except their paid plan is ...
