Getting Excited, Making Things

My work requires me to some extent to deal with artificial intelligence and as a person who spent years doing research in AI (or knowledge-based search and multi-agent systems) I often end up engaged with AI to some extent.

For some of the projects I've been working on I've wanted to set up an easy web interface based in Java.

So I've managed to post at least once a month since July of 2016, right up until April this year.

I read quite a bit less in March.

February was the month I was really focused on recovering from my health stuff in January.

While I've been looking at a lot of these yearly wrap up posts, one thing I was reminded of is how much I've really managed to make reading a happy habit.

I had some health stuff to deal with in January, which kinda skewed how I read over the month.

The Lays of the Hearth Fire series by Victoria Goddard is good.

In 2024 I managed to play five new games.

November was a bit weird.

I've always liked mysteries, but until recently I don't think I'd have described myself as a mystery reader.

Into the Breach, Subset Games, 2018 This is a mix of obvious video game tactics and their obvious implications for getting things done.

Fairly quiet month.

One of my first memories in our house, about 7 years ago now, is sitting at the dinning room table and thinking the fridge was about to explode.

Again, Critical Role cut down on a lot of my reading, especial audio books.

I didn't read much in August, which was again party due to watching a lot of Critical Role and partly I just wasn't in the right mood.

I'm late updating things for July, so I don't know that I have a lot to add.

Um hello!

If you've been reading here for a while, you know that I sooner, or later, I will always come back to talking about Ogre Battle 64.

I've really started to enjoy the "Books of Raksura", it's nice to discover that there are a fourth and fifth.

This is the second in the catch up Games posts, the games I played in April.

Well, I guess this is version two of my new games post plan.

May felt like a lot of different months and it feels like ages since I started reading Carola Dunn's Daisy Dalrimple books or since I was reading Kings of the Wyld.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with my new book tracking infographic.

A little while ago, somewhere out there on the Internet, I ran across a thing about the joy and value in rereading books.
