Feel like Grapple Dog 1 is gaining more of an audience as it gets included in bundles and goes on deeper sale. Keep seeing people finding it for the first time. What's weird is there's a lot of folks going 'this game has issues!' and I agree I fixed them in the sequel that is also out.

I'm furious. I used to get copywriting jobs now I get to proofread clearly AI-written nonsense.

It only seems like 5 minutes ago that we were saving work on floppy disks, and now computers don’t even have CD drives anymore! A big part of #DigitalPreservation is transferring data from obsolete storage so it can still be accessed in the future.

For Valentine’s Day, three-year old True Love in the Bedworth Workhouse, Foleshill, Warwickshire, in 1851, with her mother Mary. True became a silk/ribbon weaver like her mother. Sweet and sad but maybe hopeful - she went on to marry and have children. She died in 1906.
