I Need a Google Wave Invitation

2009-10-19 – 17:35:08

Google finally launched the developer preview of Wave, and I had the grave misfortune to not receive an invitation. Reading Wyatt’s post on using wave to play D&D reminded me of why I wanted to get in on that preview in the first place: the chance to write some tools for a web-based collaborative [...]

WordPress 2.8 Breaks XHTML1.0 Strict

2009-06-15 – 15:41:30

Review: the D&DI Character Builder Open Beta

2008-12-13 – 4:36:10

Alright, WotC has finally released an open beta build of their character builder.  You can download it for yourself from this page here and give it a spin.
For the purposes of being extra-critical, I’ll be comparing the character builder against Sheepy’s Chargen. This is a low-end system, so performance differences will be evident.  What?  [...]
