eos4j v1.2.0 has been released! This new version adds support for the Ecom interface in Epic Online Services. It also fixes a bug with conversion from timestamps to Java Date objects.

My new profile photo is from a New Years’ Day walk near the farm my mum grew up on, which is still farmed by my uncle. This old house and the area around it are referred to as “Macaleese’s” after the family that used to live there nearly a century ago. It was used to store hay bales until the top floor collapsed. I love it.

The doorway of a ruined house. You can see the old fireplace through the door. The fireplace. I wonder when this was last lit, and if they knew it at the time. This little lean-to was (we think) built by my Granda for storage. My family.

Quite liking where I’ve got my Vim setup to now. I don’t really miss an IDE, which is a first.

A screenshot of my Vim setup. There are two panes of code with a sidebar showing a file explorer, along with two other tmux panes.

I replaced the debug cat image in Growl with a picture of our actual cat. So long debug cat, you served us well.

We finally harvested our Lion’s mane! It became some rather nice crab cake-like things.

We got the modelling clay out the other weekend so I decided to make this lightly deranged toothbrush holder.

Well, there’s still a fair amount of work to do - bugs to fix, translations to review - but as of today Feud is feature-complete for graduating from Early Access. It’s nearly eight years since we started working on it - longer than my professional game development career lasted!

Our girl utterly transfixed by Cat TV today

A black cat watching a squirrel on a TV, right before whacking it with her paw. She's got her paws up on the TV table, staring at the screen in awe.
