Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

I’ve created a workspace for myself, sacrificing a significant proportion of the kitchen/livingroom in an attempt to mix things up. Out came my restored IBM Model M keyboard, and my voiceover…

Making the ODG Videos: Part 1
Working is terrible. It feeds on your time and energy, and in return provides money which you have little time to spend. I have been much more tired this year than I ever anticipated, and my writing and video making have suffered as a result. I’ve even been too tired to procrastinate! But armed with…

The Making of Wake Up
Halloween has come and gone for another year. And as per our annual tradition, Newforge Studios released another seasonal short. This year brought “Wake Up”, a four minute short film set in my late Grandfather’s house, centred around a character alone in his newly inherited property, though strange occurrences lead him to question whether he…
