Design notes go live again

Avarthrel Wiki now has design notes. Well, technically they always existed, but now they're properly visible.

A rather belated NaNoWriMo 2012 journal

It's April 2013. You may have noticed that NaNoWriMo 2012 is kind of over. And yes, I managed to finish my NaNoWriMo novel Staring in the Void of Patience – at least the draft of it – even if I never quite got around to mentioning that.

New game project: The Blood of the Bartender

A look at the progress of my JRPG project, "The Blood of the Bartender", done in RPG Maker. Also some reminiscing about early scraps of stories!

Commenting is coming! Commenting is coming!

Finding solutions to the story/blog post/comic commenting issue.

So what I've been up to?

Back in MediaWiki

Well, that was random. This week, I got the bright random idea to migrate the Avarthrel Encyclopædia from MoinMoin to MediaWiki. Guess what? It happened. Guess what? It was much easier than going from MediaWiki to MoinMoin....

In related news, online commenting is still hard

Well this sucked. I wrote earlier on how Disqus’s Movable Type module breaks things beyond all recognition. I had to do some hand hacking to get the module not mess everything up. Today, I decided, pretty easily, that I definitely...

NaNoWriMo 2012: konekäännöskukkasia

[English summary: Just making fun of the odd phrases Google Translate decided to use. Will make a proper diary post soon!] Nanowrimo.orgissa oli viestiketju hauskoista Google Translate -mankeloinneista. Tekstistä paljastuu omituisuuksia, kun sen vetää monta kertaa konekäännöksestä läpi. Kirjoitin NaNoWriMo...
