Finally able to get some work done now I have the use of both arms again.
To start with, lets shuffle some websites around.
What was on Warpedcore.net is gone. Runetwister.com is now here. CenarionCircle.org is being rebuilt. KestrelVT.com is being created.
And now, to work!
So I recently got a Raspberry Pi and installed it as my home server, running an external 1TB USB HDD, replacing a full-size PC while hopefully running on a fraction of the power.
I was going to get another to play with robotics ideas, when I discovered the Beaglebone Black – the same basic idea, but it has 2GB of built-in storage and the I/O capabilities of an Arduino too.
The first issue I ran into was with the installation of the ethernet-over-USB driver, which insisted it wasn’t designed for my language.
The Great Experiment can now be revealed. Codenamed Kestrel, it is the next generation in Virtual Tabletop software, suitable for playing RPGs and Wargames (or pretty much any other game requiring markers moving around) across the Internet, on a LAN, or simply as a GM tool on their own standalone laptop.
More information coming soon.
Trying to make two disparate PHP applications work together can be a pain. Especially when both have their own membership systems, and various functions using the same names.
On the other hand, having a website with different themes all over and users having to sign up twice is worse.
Seem to be getting the writing itch back. Fired off a couple of quick articles over the past 24 hours. May even try to get back to the book soon.
Oh, how I hate that acronym. RAW – Rules As Written.
Once upon a time, there was a really really nifty little niche hobby called role-playing games, or RPGs.
So I’ve been a bit more messed up than usual recently. When stuff like this happens I end up just retreating away from civilisation until things clear up in my head. Same old pattern, same old mistakes.
Threw myself back into WoW with a passion. Probably not the best solution, but it keeps me occupied and gives me a reason to get up in the mornings at the moment. Am currently solo-achievement-whoring my way through the list.
Can’t really face anything more community-orientated than that at the moment. Sorry to everyone I’ve let down yet again… I just need a bit of time. Deep down I know retreating isn’t the answer, but it’s difficult to do anything else.
Those two dreaded words.
“Under Construction”.
Unfortunately they apply here. Content needs to be imported from the old site over the next few days, so for now there’s not really anything to see here.
You may wish to check out warpedcore.net though.
Pretty much everything from the old site is now uploaded once more.

With a big thank you to Tiffany for reminding me the phrase was from the latest Doctor Who trailer
