Luke

If they could send this directly to me in the post without it being a colossal mess, I would be VERY happy.

A screenshot from the app Focus Friend. Luke's Pinto Bean named Sebastian stands in a mostly empty room. Having spent all of the socks knitted by Sebastian, there is now a single greenhouse window adorned with foliage on the wall.

My bean Sebastian now has a cute lil greenhouse window. Me and Meg have never been so focused lol.

@hankgreen.bsky.social thank you for assisting in the 'doing' part of my PhD.

Back to making some games...

5 items in the Unity game engine. 1) Badass Sword of Cuttery 2) Chops, Johnson 3) Potion of Goofin' About 4) Shield of Stop-a-geddon 5) Shield of Steel

I have been cooking up a storm in #Unity recently. But last night, while adding a feature late at night and kinda tired, I needed some test items with fun names...

As a McLaren fan who needs to lock in and program, it'd be rude not to.

IT'S TUESDAY, THEN. ITS TUESDAY, TUESDAY WHAT.

“Audio describing the Lionesses' trophy lift? Goal-den.” The Lionesses are cheering, arms high in the sky and faces beaming with pride and happiness. In the front, Leah Williamson and Keira Walsh are holding the UEFA Women’s Euros Trophy high in the sky. They look ridiculously happy, because they are. They all wear gold medals around their necks.

Lionesses, our champions! Bringing it home, again 🏆

There’s one other champion of these games: Audio description. 1/5

(1/) Was able to do two fantastic things this weekend, all thanks to #audioDescription!
1. Watch the #Lionesses win #Euro2025, with a complete understanding of what happened!
2. Seeing Imagine Dragons and being able to appreciate the visual elements of the show!

It is CRIMINAL I only discovered these guys this year.

Today's #GameDev update in auditory navigation world:

Have built a system that, provided the player has navigated close enough, lets players snap to different points of interest in the environment.

Players can navigate towards a POI using sound only, then fine tune when near using a snap function!

Have got this exact coffee machine!!! That coffee looks delightful!

Very lucky to have supervised a real variety of projects this year. Got some fantastic students off out into the world of audio!

UWE graduations today and the fit went HARD. Very proud of our music tech bunch this year!!!

A white Suzuki Carry truck. It's like if someone took a big white tradie van and made it cute, round and kinda like a bug.

I've always loved the lil Suzuki Carry ones as well. There's something lovely about taking a big angry truck and making it tiny and bug-like!

DREAMY. The old games were annoying for me because I'd always struggle to tell ball/player UI against the grass!

@lhainesaudio.bsky.social I know you've built some neat Reaper scripts in your time. Any ideas?

Anyone know of ways to incorporate a Wacom tablet in Reaper *natively*? As in, does not rely on external software to translate it into, say, MIDI CC or OSC?

I'd love to write a script that handles this natively in Reaper and allow me to map X, Y and pen pressue to plugin params.

Made the super cool adult decision to join a Chess Club... wish me luck!

British household rules:
you have a cupboard with upward of thirty mugs in it, only three of those can hold exactly the right amount of tea. When those are not available you will drink from the Lesser Mugs, but it will not be as good.

Manifesting a world where:
- the UK has air con
- every post has alt text
- iced coffee doesn’t cost £5.80

1. Having to go to the corner shop to buy a topup card for your phone

2. Knocking on your friends doors to see if they could play, only to be met by a parent/guardian telling you they're grounded

3. Getting 3D glasses from the cinema and popping the lenses out to wear the lensless frames

Chocolate cigarettes! What a throwback! When I was reading that, I could taste that papery, chocolately flavour vividly!

You have described our household exactly! We got one from here over the weekend:

So yeah... back on BlueSky. I do a bunch of things, most notably on Youtube/Twitch, #accessibility consultant, foreign #languages, #coding, #cybersecurity . Let's hope I can find my people :) Posts will include all these things and more. Oh right, fully #blind screenreader user, as well.

Luke stands in front of the band Biffy Clyro playing music on a large stage at the Eden Project. Luke is holding up his t-shirt to show his Biffy Clyro-inspired puzzle piece tattoo on his ribs.

A tipi-style tent adorned in fairy lights set against a hazy summer sunset.

Can recommend getting a lil tent and some fairy lights then seeing your favourite band play the Eden Sessions.

Today's train debate between me and Meg:

Me: CRISP can of coke.

Meg: CRISPY can of coke

You cannot describe a drink as crispy. That's just wrong, y'all.

Pick a side, friends.
