I decided to give NWN Macros some examination. It’d be nice to group a bunch of actions, and bind them to a single button. i.e. “buff up”, or “put the sword and shield away & draw bow”. This article contains broken Bioware links.

Snipsnap, RSS & XML feeds

It documented one of the crucial failings in snipsnap, its limited rss feed size of 10 and the blog article naming which means that it considered nearly all the articles to be titled “1”. In 2009, I experimented with using Google reader as a feed…

NWN Henchmen
While playing the official campaign I got fed up with the henchman’s poor behaviour in combat and started to research what can be done. I started a thread at rpgdungeon.net which discusses improving henchpersons. I write a bit about henchmen in my NWN Playing a Paladin article, which was my first, but for the later…

Tagging Engines
While http://delicious.com/ was a fantastic social bookmarking site, its not easy to implement inside a firewall, which needs to be done if the URL list to be tagged is an intranet resource. delicious wqas closed in 2017. Open Source alternatives Here’s some alternatives, Scuttle, Akarru and even Slynkr which needed Sun’s Glassfish. Slynkr died in…

Dell Dimension 5150c
This was originally entitled “Our New XP Box”. I changed the title when I copied the snip across to WordPress in July 2013. I marked the snip as deprecated in June 2019, added a picture to remind me. Here are my notes; the tags give a pretty good idea of what I needed to write…

Snipsnap Problems
This was copied across from the snipsnap bliki on 26th July. It’s all a bit redundant now, but it might be useful for others. This was a pagfe that documented my work in building the configuration and in some places represented a work in progress. In some cases, the resolution is not documented and in…

NWN Playing a Druid
I am taking a Druid through Shadows of Udrentide. There’s a couple of class specific quests which are quite nice. I have reached the Asabi Camp as a Druid/Barbarian/Shifter (7,1,1) and am having some difficulty. I notice that Ashtara has very few Druid’s scrolls and not that many heals or even cure critical. Actually he…

Instant Messaging and Chat (Deprecated)
This article has not matured well. I had been planning to write a blog, which discussed the current attempts led by Google to re-enclose the chat communities. The landscape had changed, with Google, in the spring of 2013 shit-canning Google Reader its RSS reader, and crippling XMPP in Google Talk. I had meant to write something…

Google Talk & Pidgin (deprecated)
I first attempted this in August 2008. I have successfully configured Pidgin 2.0.1 to act as a client although in one case I have two channels between me and my correspondent. One of the reasons was to have a second XMPP chat service to test my problems with Pidgin and my work’s XMPP server. See…
