Triggered by a couple of things recently where people were shocked that people would tell them that they were in love within the first few months.
And my general view is that if you aren't incredibly excited to spend loads of time with me and wander around holding hands while grinning a lot within the first few weeks of dating then we are probably not compatible.

- What was particularly interesting was that on some of them I had to let my eyes "settle". They'd see a wall of colour, get overloaded, and then after about 10 seconds I'd easily see the line.
Oh, and I'm much better with shades of green than with shades of blue.

This is a bundle of material for Age of Ambition, an RPG about a fantasy world trying to modernize and adapt to technology and rapid social and political changes following an alien invasion:
I'm not familiar with the rules system, but it looks reasonably playable and layout is good. If you get the complete bundle you're getting a lot for your money including numerous worldbooks and adventures, and the setting is novel enough that players ought to find it interesting.

I was chatting to a couple of friends last week, and realised that I really fancied having one of those "bar chart race" videos for my links, showing what had been the most popular links over the last 21 years that I've been saving links (to Delicious, and then Pinboard).
So I downloaded the JSON blob of my whole link history, used some PowerShell to slice and dice it into a CSV, and uploaded it to a site that converts a bunch of data with dates into a bar chart race. And voila:
Unsurprising to see "Europe" break the top 20 in 2017. Followed a year later by "OhForFucksSake".
Both files available here, for the very curious.

The Heechee artifact could end hunger... if humans could somehow reach it.
Beyond the Blue Event Horizon (Heechee Saga, volume 2) by Frederik Pohl
About two months ago Gideon discovered Mario Odyssey. He played ¾ of
it with me, and then restarted and played the whole game by himself.
And then followed that up by playing all of Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
And then, this afternoon, discovered that we have a PS4. So now we're
playing The Last Guardian. He is delighted by his pet dog-dragon.

Last Sunday Sophia threw up.
She spent Monday and Tuesday with a fever, and then Wednesday clearly feeling better but not well enough to go to school.
She was mostly either asleep or watching videos. I worked at home on the Monday, when she mostly slept.
On Tuesday I had to work from the office, which is when Jane had to deal with a lot of...demands.
And then I worked at home on Wednesday, although I did drop-off and pick-up. She continued to have demands, and we split them as best we could, depending on who had meetings when.
And then by Thursday she was feeling much better, and made it in to
school for World Book Day, where she was Sophie from the BFG (pyjamas
and drawn-on glasses). And since then she's thankfully been fine.
