All notes

Notes are for small posts, links, anything I don't feel merits a full post.

Dug out the old faithful Nexus 7 and installed a touch input blocker so our cat could have her own little Cat TV to watch the birds on that she’s free to attack if she likes.

A black and white cat watching a squirrel on a small tablet screen. Our cat next to her tablet looking up at the camera.

We did it! Total time was right around six hours. I hardly ever get to play dungeons or raids totally blind so this was just wonderful.

Gutted to hear my favourite musician B Dolan has announced the end of touring. I’ve been going to B gigs for over a decade, since before phones had good cameras. I don’t think I’d have got into poetry without his work. Best ever to do it.

B Dolan at The Nest in Dalston, 2014. B Dolan at Workman’s in Dublin, 2015. Me and B Dolan, 2015. B Dolan at the show last year in London.

Dungeoning with my pals.

Playing Metaphor: ReFantazio which has some of the most stunning UI work I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile I can’t get the text boxes to reflow properly in my own game engine.

Parents are visiting so had a wee wander round Greenwich.

Lucy and my parents with Greenwich and London in the background. Me and Lucy. Me and my parents!

One other photo from the weekend I forgot to upload…

Me and Lucy looking extremely happy. Lucy is wearing a ring!

A 22km walk today. We saw hares, red deer, buzzards and about a billion pheasants. Scotland in autumn is just staggeringly pretty.

The view over Marlee Loch. Autumn trees at Loch of Clunie. Highland cows in a green field. A boggy field and a gorgeous sky.

Gorgeous day walking in Scotland.

Lucy by the river. There are autumn coloured trees in the background. Reflections on the River Ericht. Rolling hills. Hay bales in a big field under a big wide sky.

Not as pretty as the outside though. I’d missed you Edinburgh.
