roguesgallery.chateaulore.netRogues Gallery — Your comic collection, on display.Rogues Gallery brings your League of Comic Geeks collection to an Android cover slideshow. Full-screen artwork, flexible playback, and a collection you can make your own.

I vibe-coded an Android client called Rogues Gallery that turns your device into a slideshow display piece of comic covers in your League of Comic Geeks collection. Check it out at roguesgallery.chateaulore.net.

This is currently on hold. LCG has banned my account because the scraping violates their ToC. I’m trying to get my account unbanned.

At this point I’m discontinuing the project. I’ve found an open API and I’ll cook up my own redeployable comics inventory and gallery. More to come later.

Here’s the thing: AI isn’t going to improve the world. We know this because it’s already failing to do that. It does a few nice things at the cost of making a lot of things worse. Why should we accelerate or even tolerate the bad things for the hollow promise of a shining city on a hill?

One of the things that’s as galling as it is bewildering about Sony planning to be done with physical games is that their digital store experience is amateurish. They do a terrible job showcasing what’s new and interesting.

For example, there’s a demo available now for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. 1) To download it you have to search for the game to get to the game page (because it doesn’t have any front page presence), then you have to go to the three dot menu button to even see the Demo option.

2) You can’t get it from the mobile app at all.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

cogsworth.chateaulore.netCogsworth — A display, search, and multi-collection management app for Android devices.Cogsworth is an Android companion for your Discogs collection. Browse your shelves, find a record, and rediscover what to play next.

I built an Android app called Cogsworth to help a kiosk-style display at my record collection to make the wall of vinyl more accessible to guests and during parties, because nobody wants to twist their neck sideways or crawl on the floor to scan my records. cogsworth.chateaulore.net

This app works with the Discogs API using a personal access token. This adds functionality that isn’t provided by the Discogs app in a way that’s safe to leave running non-stop inside your own home. Full disclosure, AI was used to create this app. Thus: I built it, I didn’t write it.

Been taking an archery class with the local parks & rec. Shot 8 sets or 5 arrows today with a recurve at 10 yards and did fairly well: 25, 40, 41, 44, 36, 38, 40, 41.

I’m not familiar with the books or the author, but this seems like a good tip!

If you are feeling sad about Tim Curry and want to hear him read for a dozen hours or so, get the audiobooks of the Old Kingdom trilogy by Garth Nix. It’s excellent fantasy that is accessible and has the best necromancy I’ve ever seen. Curry reads all three original books

Maybe don’t call Haaland the “King in the North,” sportscasters. There were books. They made a TV show. IT DOESN’T GO WELL FOR THAT CHARACTER.

I’ve started recording my #hobby and #MiniaturePainting work with the intention of finding new ways to share hobby joy. I’ve got a lot to learn but this feels like a pretty good start. I wanted a no-speech video with a (royalty-free) lofi vibe. Hope you like it. youtu.be/56z1YgYYLug?...

Relistening to A Black Mile to the Surface (2017) in the wake of the news that Manchester Orchestra drummer Tim Very has passed away. This album really resonates with me during a bad period in my life, but I’m really struck now by how similar it feels to a John Dardinelle novel.

Italy put together a rather fine Opening Ceremonies in Milano Cortina. Memorable cauldron, loved the athletes’ parade in all four locations of the event.

I have no idea what this is from. I just go for what looks really cool when I’m shopping for gunpla models.

I worked for a scout camp in the middle of nowhere as a kid. At the end of a week, I was splitting block of pine abandoned by scouts who didn’t take their woodcarving projects home. Totally unnecessary but I was stir crazy and 15 so my brain was smooth. Chopped the tip of my thumb off with an axe.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain. 😅

Fortunately is was a seems-worse-than-it-is injury. I had just nicked the artery so there was plenty of blood. But I managed to avoid doing any lasting damage. Almost 30 years later, there isn’t any kind of scar.
