I’ve been working on lots of wiki things recently, across MediaWiki, DokuWiki, PMWiki, and Wikia. And Doku’s my fave by far. Well organised, easy to customise, simple formatting syntax. MediaWiki, and especially Wikia are hellish.
I’ve been poking away at a personal wiki for a while, and I think it’s ready to tell people about.
I’ve been playing a cute little game called Tomodachi Life on the 3DS. Since the Wii, Nintendo consoles have these things called Miis—goofy people you design that you can use in some games—and this game involves filling an apartment building with them and dressing them up, making them do songs, keeping them happy, etc. The idea with Miis is that you make one to represent yourself, and yours and your friends’ live in each others’ systems. Tomodachi Life expands on this by making you give them personalities, lets you interact with them, and encourages you to make all sorts of different ones. A little searching will dig up lots of Mii versions of celebrities and things, and these can be shared with QR codes.
So I made Peter Dutton, and decided to treat him horribly. You have to give them a nickname, so I went with ‘Beandick’. Yeah, I dunno.
Here he is getting interviewed on the news:
Here he is looking lonely in a Japanese hotel while I hang on the door doing ninja stuff?
I only fed him once.
This is the time he sold colonial uniforms in the park:
So most people emoji are depicted as belonging to an other from the perspective of the assumed receiver. But personal favourite ? is depicted as though it is the viewer’s own hand (except in text editor I use in Linux, Geany).
So you make a new item set for each update. You can have multiple channels per file for things like blog posts and blog comments. You can also link multiple RSS files in the head of the HTML to a similar purpose.
So now ryliejamesthomas.net, blueberrysoft.ryliejamesthomas.net and blueberrysoft.ryliejamesthomas.net/web-log all have RSS feeds.
Also I remembered that I had Google Analytics code on a bunch of websites so I cancelled that gross shit.
illustration.ryliejamesthomas.com has stayed where it was. There will probably be a shop.ryliejamesthomas.com at some point? Haven’t thought too much about the .com, apart from putting links to my pages on etsy, bandcamp and itch.
The Game Making Tools website I’ve been working on also has a new address: gamemaking.tools :) Makes it feel much less like a solo project, though there’ve only been a few wiki pages made by others :)
I’ve also been having fun doing more stuff with my web-hosting, like using it to host my E-mail (weening myself off web-mail), calendar, contacts, and a ‘cloud’ service.
This is the first thing that’s ever made me want a VR setup. Add and subtract stuff real quick. Has nice stereo sounds. Good amount of clumsiness. You can go inside!
