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:
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 […]
This is the eighth post in my developer diary for the Unreal Engine camera system. Since the UE 5.6 release has just gone out, I figured I would write a little bit about what to expect if you’re using the early UE 5.5 Gameplay Cameras experimental plugin. 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 […]
This is the seventh post in my developer diary for the Unreal Engine camera system. Since the last post was a super high level view of what the system is supposed to be, I figured I would just go down one step for this article and share some notes about the general design. This might […]
This is the sixth article in my UE Gameplay Cameras developer (GPC) diary. Last week I wrote about one of the first decisions I had to make when I started this work, but I realized I could write about the very first decision I had to make: the decision to start making a camera system […]

Here's my microblogging feed, published on my blog, and syndicated to Mastodon and Bluesky:
By the way, Kirk trying to explain Spock’s look and behaviour to 1980s people with “He did too much LDS in the 60’s” was quite funny, not just because he gets “LSD” wrong, but because it could also be interpreted as “Mormons are weird”
More about Star Trek IV: sure it’s got some funny moments, but between “Search For Spock” and this, it seems to be the point where it’s not just Gene Roddenberry’s story anymore, but some studio’s FRANCHISE. Gotta appeal to more audiences! Can I say it now? THEY RUINED STAR TREK!
Next on my first-time Trek watchlist was “The Voyage Home”! Sure it’s nice to see the Enterprise crew out of their comfort zone, but the premise with the whales is stupid, time travel in Trek has always been bullshit, and turning this into an 80’s “fish out of water” comedy? Ugh.
I’m binge-watching the remaining Star Trek movies because I want to get to TNG and see what that fuss is about. Anyway, the 3rd movie, “The Search For Spock” is, errr, OK? It’s just a big excuse to bring Spock back, which ruins his sacrifice, so I’m not super on board but, oh well 🤷🏽
