Back

For today’s #DecemberAdventure I did two things:

- I sewed a pink snake per my kid’s request
- I pulled together a basic IRC bot

I used to sew a lot before having kids; as an undergrad I actually TA’d for a bunch of animation and puppetry courses that involved a lot of sewing and practical sort of hand-making. I did a bit during the pandemic lock downs out of necessity, but not much. I’ve been staring at all my sewing stuff for years, though, and wanting to get back into the habit of making freaky little guys.

The IRC bot was inspired by some conversations I had on fedi: I’m wondering if it could serve as a good playground for making little narrative games, where, rather than having to build an engine and physics and and and on and on I plop some new interactive commands into an existing bot. I chose IRC because it is easy as pie (see what I did there?), but I could imagine migrating to something else one day.
