Squirrel Tales

Welcome to the Squirrel Tales, personal blog and digital dumping ground for a middle aged nerd.

Most of this is nonsense that used to go on social media, so is not necessarily of interest to anyone but myself.

 

With that in mind, this is what I’ve been up to lately.

Humble Bundle

I suppose I can’t be too upset. It’s been a while since a humble bundle has felt like a shakedown.
However I just saw an advert for the IGN Live Bundle 2025. The games are:

OpenGraph

Still learning new things that weren’t part of the internet when I learned HTML 25+ years ago.

OpenGraph! OpenGraph is a protocol that lets you add information to a page so it looks fancy when it gets shared as a link.

Using Hugo

I think I’ve got my system for updating this site in somewhat logical order. It’s not as slick as Facebook, or probably even Wordpress, but I prefer the final result.

Bank Holiday

A quiet bank holiday today, not a lot to report!

Marie and I finishe The Physician that we started late a few nights ago. I’m not sure it’s considered a good adaptation of the book its based on, but we enjoyed it!

Hugo

I’ve been learning Hugo to make this site. It’s proving interesting, but not entirely intuative. As may be indicative by the 1:30am timestamp on this post.

Electric Callboy: Revery

It’s new Electric Callboy day. This makes me happy, I’m really excited for the new album that is expected this year. <3

Post Game Blues

Better day today. Got some rest, regenerated some brain chemistry, made a banana milkshake and slowly got back to feeling more like myself.

Blood Bowl First Match

A quick match report from a friendly Blood Bowl game at Incom.

A New Tale

Oh hey, a blog!

Welcome to Squirrel Tales, a place for the kind of thoughts and projects that don’t fit neatly into polite conversation—or at least not without a few raised eyebrows and someone slowly backing away.

Jaeger E1

Cut Your Teeth

Marie and I went to the first event of the new larp game, Jaeger. We haven’t played a larp system for at least 18 months so we were a little apprehensive, but it was wonderful to be back in a field with so many familiar faces and to make some new friends. I mostly amused myself with a mysterious chirruping basket that contained Mathildis, my pet cryptid.
