| No 5th page this week; also, Hengband! | Jan 28, 2022 3:14 AM PST | url |
|
| |
Added 1 new A* page:I'm at this who knows how fleeting point in my life where I can try to do way too many silly things at once, so I have yet again got my schedule twisted around and will not be able to get a fifth page done this week. Tune in next week to see if I get this phase under control!
And apropos of nothing, I would like to mention that the Japanese, text-based, open source roguelike RPG Hengband can once again be compiled (in English) on Linux-like machines (thanks backwardsEric), and can now be played through your browser on angband.live (thanks Gwarl).
Also thanks to @deskull, @hiromi_yuh, and the rest of the Hengband team!

| A*'s magnetized threads; rocket falls to Moon | Jan 26, 2022 10:24 PM PST | url |
|
| |
Added 1 new A* page:Cool images of the galactic core around A* from SAROA ("South African Radio Astronomy Observatory"). Dig the 100 light-year-long "radio emitting magnetized threads" winding around the core. Thanks @n1vux for the link.
Out-of-control SpaceX rocket on collision course with moon is slightly inaccurate in that "moon" should be capitalized (Earth's moon is named Moon), and in that it's rather sensationalizing a seven-year-old piece of space junk's upcoming impact on the dark side of the Moon: after sending an NOAA observatory on its way in 2015, the rocket ran out of fuel and fell into a decaying orbit between the Earth and the Moon; its impending demise in a few weeks will constitute the first known "unintentional" case of space junk hitting the Moon.

| Off today and Monday | Jan 14, 2022 5:15 PM PST | url |

No comic today (Friday); started the week behind schedule, stressed out trying to catch up, entirely neglected exercise and fresh air, and crashed hard mid-morning today. Working on getting myself more together for next week.
And I'm off Monday in observance of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—whose actual birthday is tomorrow, Saturday January 15th. In a year when many states in the country are attempting to enact racially targeted voting restrictions, his message of equality and nonviolence remains at least as essential as it has ever been.

Added 1 new A* page:Didn't get the latest round of patron rewards going this past weekend like I meant to, will have to tackle them hard next weekend!
I eh let myself get totally obsessed in trying to compile fresh, purely text-based versions of old hardcore dungeon crawling adventure games. : P Some like the Dante's Inferno-flavored "Hellband" needed some bug-fixes to their source code first; the kitchen-sink fantasy-flavored "Frogcomposband" only needed a little file hack (I hope), hurrah! Programmer backwardsEric of the ongoing fantasy game from which these are derived, Angband, helped me (that's putting it mildly, given that he's the one who actually knows what he's doing!) troubleshoot some of this stuff, but finally there was one remaining we couldn't resolve ourselves—"Hengband," an intensely developed Japanese variant—and had to settle for filing detailed reports on it with that team's developers, so hopefully they can fix whatever's still going on there so their game can be compiled and played on Linux-like terminal systems. : )
