Hi, I’m Chris

I make websites and things. Lately, I’ve been experimenting a lot with Large Language Models (colloquially known as AI) to test their capabilities and to help make my job and D&D Dungeon Mastering life easier. Feel free to click around to learn more about stuff I like to do and/or am working on.

  • RPM 2010

    i’ve signed up to do rpm 2010.  probably i’m insane with how busy we’ve been lately and i don’t know when i’m going to have free time to crank out some tunes and i never even finished the gwozdziec project i started after rpm last year (although that was more to do with my own…

  • stirring up trouble on twitter

    are all the new Upstart Blogger authors just Ashley Morgan in disguise?  if so, the latest post seems like a cry for help.  i thought i’d stir up some trouble and call the author’s true identity into question. i’m not convinced.  are you? here’s the link to the post: http://bit.ly/7brCik

  • Adventure Tykes

    Adventure Tykes was one of the biggest projects we’ve worked on in a while and crossed over into many different applications.  We started out with a Magento online store.  We supplemented that with a community powered by phpBB with a Coppermine photo gallery bridge, and a Resources section with articles and a blog powered by WordPress.  The…

  • Free Desktop Wallpaper: Hot Mess

    This wallpaper is what happened when I set out to do something with our holiday lights texture photos. It’s colorful and fun and you can look at it many different ways, since there’s lots going on. I’ve been catching myself staring at it on my monitor many times, dreaming of a connect four game that…

  • Facebook’s Version of the Retweet Has Arrived

    …given the most visible use of retweets on Twitter is links, with aggregators like Tweetmemetracking which stories get retweeted the most, it’s a big move for Facebook that makes its service even more Twitter-like maybe it’s just me, but is there any good at all in making facebook more twitter-like?  if facebook is trying to…

  • Twitter kills bulk and automated unfollows…and we’re disappointed why?

    yesterday, SocialToo announced they were discontinuing the auto-unfollow feature associated with the services they offered.  this more or less confirms my own suspicions when i went to clean out the people @ArcanePalette was following a few days ago and get rid of the spammers, marketers, and others that, from a reading and using Twitter standpoint, weren’t really adding…

  • WordPress tip: How to upgrade all your plugins in one go

    If you haven’t upgraded your WordPress blog to 2.9 (actually 2.9.1 as of the time of this writing), you should.  With the 2.9 update, the people at WP have implemented a feature that I’ve been pining for for some time.  The only problem is it’s not where you’d think it might be. If you do…

  • lightning never strikes twice. unless you’re a spammer.

    they say that lightning never strikes the same place twice.  that’s a good thing, because if you happened to be an idiot out in a lightning storm holding a weather vane in an open field unlucky enough to get hit once (and walk away),  you probably wouldn’t want to be the guy out in a lightning…

  • nine inch nails fans kick ass

    a couple days old (sometimes it takes me a few days to catch up in my rss reader), but i wanted to get back on the music openness topic and throw this out there…from nin.com: For 12 months, a core team of dozens of fans and a network of thousands spanning the entire globe pooled their…

    a new tradition i’m starting this year is to make mix cds for each of the kids every year.  i did one for G a couple months ago, and decided when i finally made lilah’s that i would post it here on teh s3quence.  so, here it is: 01 morphine, the night 02 poe, hello…
