The D&D gaming table-top progresses. We are basically building a tabletop around a tabletop. Lots of wood flying around. Nowhere near complete but…

This was a fun illusion we saw on our trip to Cardiff today.

The exhibit’s own camera was crap, so we tried our own. The quality is WAY better. But the angle is ever so slightly off.

Still… fun!

Oh heck. So my D&D-obsessed kid saw videos of how to make a gaming table top with a flatscreen TV for dynamic landscapes.

So we have a summer project involving a £40 second-hand TV an old Ikea Lack desk, and my trusty Stanley knife! (Again!!)

I’m sure we’ll need some nice edging and plywood too. But this is gonna be a thing!!

I loved John Rudolph Drexler.com's Laracon talk.

It's about communication, which is SO important in software development.

A recommended watch for all dev's and engineering managers. (Link should start at the start of the talk at around 4:53:00)

I became much more confident about doing DIY when I suddenly
realised that most of the things that I thought were super hard were actually just gluing bits of wood to walls.

I’ve been doing too much hacking at my house with a Stanley knife these last couple of weeks.

I have now stabbed BOTH my hands.

When will I learn‽
