The potting shed has its roof on and a tarpaulin protecting the OSB. I have the rubber roof but am waiting for a series of dry days to install it as there is a lot to do!
Work
I have released the initial versions of a small Chrome extension, Simons Schema Analyser that reviews a web pages schema contents and lists what is built and what is missing. It was more for my own use but there have been 97 installs already even thought the extension is not publicly available! i need to do more work on it as i know there are still issues - but it does work!
If you want me to have a look at a project of yours, please do get in touch.
Hobbies
Progress on Whitesands Quay. Slipway former is in place and I have build the mole of the quayside wall. That's clad in Wills sheeting and half painted. I am also making progress on the main quayside wall. I need to write this up at some point!
Gaming
Have played the Roottrees Are Dead on Steam - very enjoyable puzzle game where you are trying to work out a family tree from clues scattered about. Not yet learnt the rules for Stupor Mundi now it is on BGA and am meant to be playing it.
Always happy to play online so please do invite me for a game of something! Me on board Game Arena.
Reading
Still slowly reading Hello World by Hannah Fry. 'Still' because I fall asleep almost immediately. I used to read books avidly but not so much these days.
Ideas
About Now Ideas is an interesting site that allows searching of small sites like this that have About, Now and Ideas pages. This site now has all three!
