Sun Mar 18 09:23:48 EDT 2018 Slept from midnight to nine. Woke briefly around five. High of fifty-three(!) and sunny today. Goals: - Play D&D (noon at Scott's) No. - Explore possible chat solutions for online D&D - Erlang-based XMPP http://mongooseim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://www.erlang-solutions.com/products/mongooseim.html - Turnpike WAMP router is interesting https://github.com/jcelliott/turnpike - Go XMPP server https://github.com/tinode/chat/ - Oh, riot.im. I was just looking at that the other day. Built on top of Matrix. - Get outside for a long walk Done. - Play some Night in the Woods No. Scott came down sick, and had to cancel hosting D&D at the last moment. Riot.im (Matrix) could be good for chat-based D&D. It has private rooms. Can a conversation be exported? Not really. Not obviously, apart form copy/paste. How easy is writing a dice-rolling bot? Maybe not too hard? https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb Washed dishes, Draino'd tub. Half-hour walk in the afternoon. Snow clings on in the shadows, but huge buds encrust many trees. Ventured briefly into Beverly Park. Heard a woodpecker drilling. Worked a little on a monitoring utility for use at work: ssh://paulgorman.org/~/repo/go/src/paulgorman.org/sooth Lunch: coffee, chicken pot pie, carrots Dinner: Mexican
