Page: Feed: --- ## [AAR: Great Bork Team](https://www.stdin.co.uk/blog2/2026/01/aar-great-bork-team/) _2026-01-07 · Source of Entropy_ Finally played The Great Bork Team . Players are sled dogs, with limited vocabulary , and in fact relatively few actions. While roleplaying in this game or making moves, players communicate solely in one word barks such as “YUP!” or “NOPE!” Players may break out of character to ask clarifying gameplay questions. Questions about your environment have to be investigated through roleplaying with your… ## [Dragonmeet 2025](https://www.stdin.co.uk/blog2/2025/12/dragonmeet-2025/) _2025-12-13 · Source of Entropy_ Finally, finally , attended Dragonmeet! This was its first time in ExCeL, which is very easy to get to, with the Elizabeth line skipping the previous changes I’ve had at Bank/Monument 1 . I stayed nearby so I could make the 9am morning game session start. The train drama coming down from Northampton the night before was therefore moderated by merely cancelling my Friday-evening plans 😮‍💨.… ## [SensorPush BLE sensor battery reading, again](https://www.stdin.co.uk/blog2/2025/04/sensorpush-ble-sensor-battery-reading-again/) _2025-04-15 · Source of Entropy_ I have a SensorPush outdoor temperature/pressure/humidity sensor that I’m pretty happy with. It’s BLE, it’s reliable, its range is good, it seems pretty accurate. However it doesn’t report its battery level in its adverts, but the manufacturer app can read this level through reading GATT characteristics. I previously had a go at adding this to my HA two years ago. It worked… ## [Decoding BLE adverts of Hörmann Supramatic E4 garage door mover](https://www.stdin.co.uk/blog2/2025/03/decoding-ble-adverts-of-h%C3%B6rmann-supramatic-e4-garage-door-mover/) _2025-03-30 · Source of Entropy_ I have a garage door. It has an opener. I am slightly too lazy to wire up the external controls of my garage door opener. But it does have an app, and the app shows the state of the door opening and closing. Using the esp32\_ble\_tracker and some debugging ESP\_LOGD s, we can see: \[19:25:28\]\[D\]\[ble\_adv:060\]: Advertised manufacturer data: \[19:25:36\]\[D\]\[ble\_adv:062\]: - 02026d200000: (length 6)… ## [Hugo updating in 2025](https://www.stdin.co.uk/blog2/2025/03/hugo-updating-in-2025/) _2025-03-28 · Source of Entropy_ Well I’m finally settled back in the UK again! The blog hasn’t been top of my list but I’m shaking the dust off. The first thing of course is that Hugo has updated, and broken the theme I’m using. This means either a new theme or bodging off the existing one. Naturally incurring the technical debt is the default quick fix so I can write some stuff again! 💀💀💀 Suggestions… ## [AAR: Heart of the Atom Isa 2: Tokyo Drift](https://www.stdin.co.uk/blog2/2025/02/aar-heart-of-the-atom-isa-2-tokyo-drift/) _2025-02-24 · Source of Entropy_ I tried running Hypertellurians again. I’d run a game online with people I sort-of-knew during COVID , and this time my normal gaming crew had a gap between campaigns. I’ll just drop this in, with only a little prep. I know what happens. It’s a simple system. What could go wrong? Reader, lots.
