Website encapsulation into an executable

- Posted in Coding by

There are a couple of different ways (that I know about) to encapsulate a website (or just a subdirectory?) into an executable. There is Web2Executable and Nativefier via nodejs.

I'm basically only noting these here on the chance that someday I may do actual work with Squiffy or Twine.

I've cached a copy of Web2Executable on my Box.com account and here on my pcloud account.

Diet tracker program

- Posted in Coding by

I've been pretty pleased with recent progress I've made on diet.exe, a console program I'm developing to help make tracking my diet easier. As of today's date, the software can synchronize diet files between Dropbox and Zim. As an added benefit, when it does this, it also synchronizes blood pressure readings between those two directories. Sweet!

I've downloaded a couple of solo gaming systems I want to read and perhaps take on a test-drive: World of Dungeons is one, Notequest the other. I have a feeling that my myth-weavers game may be in it's death throes. One player bowed out, albeit gracefully. I must admit, my own interest has begun to flag. We're at a natural point for an ending, as the party has saved Slaytonthorpe from a group of bandits who appear to be working for a much more sinister (and currently unknown) force.


I've read through the pdf for Notequest and I'm intrigued. I may look into getting the Expanded World pdf. I'm going to continue reading The Solo Adventurer's Toolkit by Paul Bimler. I may wind up using it with Black Streams, which would allow me to use the wealth of OSR and 5e adventure modules I have.
