Celaena Sardothien — a human fighter operating in southeast Stigrix in PR 204 and forward. Celaena's companions are Feyre Archeron and Lancaster Fox.

player-character — In the tabletop version of a roleplaying game, there are usually two or more people who take on the role of players, and each player controls and makes decisions for a character. These characters are the actors in the unfolding adventure or story.

The players are the people sitting around the table, each player assuming the role of his or her character — in essence, stepping into that character's shoes, living in their skin. Because of this intimate connection between the player and her character, that character is often known as a PC — a player character. You may also want to read here.

I just installed a new wireless keyboard and mouse on my ThinkCentre M53 desktop PC. That leaves me a smaller wireless keyboard I can use at work on our TR media computer, but I'll still need to get a wireless mouse for it. The Kensington lock to secure the Azulle Plus PC to the table on which it sits should arrive tomorrow.

Also, I've made the decision to move my blog to my NAS, as it doesn't require starting and stopping the Zwamp mini-server on Windows. I'll archive and backup the /cms directory regularly, for protection against data loss.

Thursday, 10/10/2019 Work wasn't too busy. I started work on an OTR for JM. I billed on eight clients today. Carla remains rather anal retentive but also quite helpful and with a good work ethic. Susan and I had leftover pinto beans, whole cakes, and mashed potatoes, along with tuna casserole, for supper. Now she's seeing a patient and I'm sitting with Jimmie while Barbara is gone to Rugs.

I've done some rearranging of my blog, pulling out the DokuWiki archive, which I'm no longer using, and replacing the screenshots of my monthly jogging records with the more space-conservative text-version of the data.

Today, I got my Azulle Plus PC installed at work. I hooked it into the HDMI monitor in the play room. So, I now have my own personal PC at work, connected wirelessly to the network. I can use TeamViewer to connect to it from my workstation. I've got a 16 Gb flash drive attached. It's encrypted, so if someone takes it they can't get at its contents. I also put a guest account on the Azulle so that I can present it as a resource for child clients if questioned at some future time.

I also commented out some of the code in zippem.cs so that the re-compiled program no longer archives my wiki and a couple other little-used directories. The only directories it archives now are csdev, fp-content, and cms/downloads.

I ran 6.23 miles this afternoon after work. It was my second jog in October. I'm hoping to do another Saturday.

I've discovered the blog of Mr. Riley, a web programmer. He has lots of great Twine code examples.

Mr. Riley is a teacher. He has a good starting point example of a combat system for a Twine game called Twine Fray.

I plan to scour his blog for learning purposes.

Lately, I've been reading some articles put out by prominent researchers in the SETI at Home project: Here is an explanation of the Drake Equation. And here is an article of what we might expect from E.T.

For a while now, I've had my desktop PC (which I don't use on a daily basis but do leave running) executing BOINC and assisting the SETI @ Home program to process telescopic data.

BOINC downloads scientific computing jobs to your computer and runs them invisibly in the background. It's easy and safe.

About 30 science projects use BOINC; examples include Einstein@Home, IBM World Community Grid, and SETI@home. These projects investigate diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.
