During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC says: The Virtual Community Center is a database of, well, virtual communities.

NomadWarMachine on August 21, 2026August 21, 2026

This blog post is the result of a conversation in the blaugust discord about using GenAI to make it look as if it was not generated by AI. I took a post I had already written and asked ChatGPT to rewrite it in the style of Frankie Boyle. You can see my prompts here. Posting without comment During August, I’m taking part in Blaugust, a month-long blogging challenge: thirty-one days of attempting to convert the vague electrical activity in my […]

During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC says: Don’t baobab trees look like they’re just the tip of something much bigger?

Creator appreciation

NomadWarMachine on August 17, 2026

During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. From what I’ve read about this week’s challenge, it seems that this was originally aimed at giving appreciation for games developers. Well, I don’t really play games or like them, but I have a huge amount of appreciation for anyone who creates things that I do enjoy. Often I’d use this type of post to wax lyrical about DS106 and the Daily Create, but with […]
