Thanks to those still using DSN Antenna! I was pleasantly surprised to see the feed not empty when I logged in.
Hey all, I took a hiatus from most things technology (that don't include work), but now I'm back to catching up on Gemini. I've about 79 notifications to catch up on from the last 6 or 7 months!
Interesting story about the"official" town of Santa in Finland.
Finally getting some time to test out Alhena. So far so good @bluesman, thanks for all your work on this.
Been spending some free time putting Windows 11 on my 12 year old desktop (I know). It's amazing how much Microsoft is trying to kill off old hardware for no reason. Had to use Rufus to bypass the hardware check. I got a new SSD, and 8 gig ram on a fresh install and it runs just fine for my needs. Forced obsolescence. reinstalling apps and WSL has actually been enjoyable if I'm being honest.
It appears offpunk is now xkcdPunk.
Just played Diablo 1 multiplayer for the first time in like 20+ years. The other two players I think were seeing how far in hardcore mode they could get. Devilutionx is a neat project.
DSN Antenna now fixed.

@stack it seems CL is the one to learn but I don't want to "waste" time learning that when I can't use it here for CGI. been reading up on Janet unsure it's a good intro to Lisp. what do you think?
New Game: Fill! (BETA) I've implemented a card and dice game called Fill! that is closely related to Farkle! I'm looking for feedback and any identified bugs. Since it is new, I can't guarantee tournament points will remain for this month if I need to completely reset the game. Let me know what you think [gemini link] 🎲 Play Fill!
just played crosstic nines. good game but I'm bad at it! also neat to see my dictionary being put to good use.
@skyjake I came across the word Lagrange in the wild, while reading the novel moonbound by Robin Sloan. Funny how things connect.

I might need to start a subspace named dumb cars after feeling held over a barrel by my car manufacturer for basic car needs.
Looking for beta testers for my new dice game. If you like or have ever been interested in craps, I implemented a smaller version for gemini. Looking for feedback on gameplay, usability/layout, and any bugs or suggestions. I have a tutorial mode to help new users.
debating another dumb phone challenge. my wife already hates it.
come help me populate auragem ask with questions and answers.
I posted about this a while ago on station, but I wish Buran wasn't seemingly abandoned early last year. don't get me wrong, I love Lagrange, but I like trying new apps for this space. rosy crow was coming along really well here too and I still use it from time to time. If I could ever get the certs to work in Buran, I'd have kept it on my phone. interestingly, Buran is the name of the only Soviet space shuttle, according to wiki. makes me wonder where the author hails from.
antenna seems like it's missing posts
this might be the first truly commercial capsule I've seen on Gemini. full articles, sales pitch, and legal terms of use of the capsule
Thoughts on a "stack overflow"type q&a app for gemini? I think it'd be helpful. Not just for programming questions.
Just another PSA reminder that you can send any BBS post to DSN Antenna via BBS' built-in feature (located under 'more...'). DSN is for non-computer related transmissions.
Farkle - Monthly Tournament Standings — At @skyjake's suggestion, I've implemented a "tournament" style ranking system for Farkle. At the end of each day, the top 3 finishers will get points towards their monthly total: 1st: 5 points 2nd: 3 points 3rd: 1 point After the last game of the month the results will be archived in the log and the monthly standings will be reset. If all goes well, we'll have our first archived month on...
