Here are some of my coding projects:
You can find more projects of mine on BOLT80, my coding portfolio.
To get in touch, toots or emails are best (depending on the length of message). Here is a more exhaustive list:
I post articles infrequently on The Stochastic Game, my personal blog. Here are the most recent entries:
So I figured I would post an update that is part of the actual developer diary I had on the UE5 Gameplay Cameras, in case someone out there only followed that category of posts: I was part of the mass layoffs that saw Epic Games get rid of almost a quarter of their employees this […]
The old ElfQuest boxed set got the recent “revival” treatment by Chaosium’s excellent “Nostalgia Department” (aka the ever wonderful Chaosium president Rick Meints). After quite a successful Kickstarter campaign, the box was finally delivered this week to most backers. Since I’ve got nothing better to do this week-end, let’s take a quick look, and compare […]
This is another article in my developer diary for the Unreal Engine camera system. The Gameplay Cameras (GPC) plugin currently still has the “experimental” status, but the plan is to upgrade it to “beta” for UE 5.8. This means I have to clean up a few mistakes I made with some of the early designs. […]
Oh hey, look at the time! Another post in my developer diary for the Unreal Engine camera system, and a whole release went by that I haven’t posted anything about. Oh well, let’s see if I can pick the pace back up later. In the meantime, here are some notes and highlights for the Gameplay […]
These past few years I’ve been catching up on a lot of classic roleplaying games that I’ve never played before, despite having several decades of play behind me. One of those was Traveller, so I was happy to finally run that with my Friday game! We ran about 15 sessions, across four scenarios, plus the […]

While the GPC plugin is still flagged “experimental” […]
Mausritter is a TTRPG in which you play little adventuring mice trying to survive in a world of big dangers. If you’re a fan of the excellent comicbook Mouse Guard, you should already be hooked! The system is as minimalist as its protagonists, with low-prep two-hours adventures, so we played this a dozen times as […]

Here's my microblogging feed, published on my blog, and syndicated to Mastodon and Bluesky:
The fact that Andy Weir is a borderline-libertarian who doesn’t want “politics” or “social commentary” in his sci-fi isn’t surprising. Even in software engineering I’ve met a lot technically incredibly clever people who are dumb as a brick when it comes to anything else.
There are only two meals: breakfast, and dessert.
Went to see Project Hail Mary with the family! Verdict: good good amaze amaze
Technology Connections on renewable energy: I like the way he frames things here, it’s an interesting way to think about renewables. What comes after the fake ending shouldn’t be anything anyone doesn’t know already though.
