Snakes

Snakes in the garden.
Afraid of a lot of snakes,
Ophidiophobe?

You can't complain about this anymore. It's perfect!

Mass Effect: Andromeda
While I waited for this free month of EA games, I planned out how I would make the best of it. Since I've been wondering for years about what another Humble Origin Bundle would have, why not turn that into a playlist? Crysis 3 would be neat to play through, just to see how it ended. It turned out to be short enough to knock out in a weekend, so now what? Mass Effect: Andromeda would be a likely candidate, since it wasn't exactly a money maker for EA, so why not give it away?
An Ode to Clippy
I’ve recently started working in the refurbishing division of an e-waste recycling company. As such, I’ve come across some retro items; items that would be useful for Twentieth Century. It now has a gigabit Ethernet card, a USB 2.0 card, more RAM (now 384 MB), and a Gravis GamePad Pro.
Gone Home
Gone Home is a walking simulator from about 10 years ago, as was the style at the time. You play as Katie, a young woman who just returned to her family's house in (presumably rural) Oregon. It's past 1 AM, and storming. There's a note from your sister, Sam, imploring you to not investigate where she is. Mom and dad are off on a vacation of their own. There's no one home. You're left alone to explore this sprawling mansion by yourself.
Back to the Future
I've watched Back to the Future once or twice, and I thought it was an OK movie. I didn't think there was much to it, and the whole thing would be prevented with some very obvious safeguards. Of course, it's hard to not notice that it's been a cult classic for a long time. It's the only reason that the Delorean Motor Company is known outside of niche groups. Too bad their cars weren't as popular as those movies, and went out of business years earlier.
State of the Andrew Bailey, March 2025
Wow, I've had a scrap for this post lying around for years (since May 2022?). I guess it might be time to write about what I'm running this server and how it works, particularly since I've been rather active with releases on GitHub. I've had some massive changes to which software I use, reflecting how my relationship to technology in my life has evolved. Since I don't do a podcast anymore, this might be the only proper venue to share this.
Thar be dragons here!
