The user system moves forward. Successfully completing CAPTCHA or other security gates and registering an email is now required to keep your user account active. And with that, one of the latest useless updates goes online. We’ve got a forum! I’ve spun up forums before. I even think this is mostly useless because, in this […] Continue Reading »

I allowed people to sign up for this site years ago. Soon after creating the latest incarnation, I wanted to pin as many parts of my various websites together as possible. I was thinking about subscriptions so that if I thought, or if I was told in feedback, that I was making desirable content, I […] Continue Reading »

I completed the basic data and structure to add a General Gear Appearances set of checklist icon images to the Hogwarts Legacy Utilities. These operate just like the Collection Icon images. There were a few outliers in the code and data, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are mistakes. Hands Face Head Neck Back […] Continue Reading »

My most visited pages have to do with a few things. The first, for almost as long as I’ve been making this stuff, is the Hogsmeade Field Guide Page Checklist. This has to do with searches for field guide pages. Closely connected with that is the Map. I can easily point to what I talk […] Continue Reading »

I’d wanted this on some level since completing the maps. Dealing with mobile interaction delayed me for some weeks. My site still has an issue with the horizontal styling size forcing […] Continue Reading »

How about a May newsletter? I don’t do newsletters. Even when I can post an update, the results of occasional “what’s going on now” messages certainly don’t land with monthly regularity. Let’s get into this. Beyond the Easter/Spring break period of last month, I also took a massive road trip. The Rockies were fantastic to […] Continue Reading »

Six months. That’s how long it took for the state of my work here, as of the last post, to change the next significant version number. Spring is coming on now. Let’s review. Hogwarts Legacy was updated. The update introduced an integrated mod system and ridiculous interior light blooming inside treasure vaults and house interiors. […] Continue Reading »

I hear it is, anyway. It’s Spooky Season, which, if you’re lucky, means cosplay, candy consumption, and creepy media. But what’s a sample of the things going on here? I’ve done almost no additional work on the HL Tracker info boxes. The map update with a more complete data set is a significant reason for […] Continue Reading »
