There's also some [supporting material](/sigbovik) on this website, including a [gallery of all 100 images](/sigbovik/splatters.html) and their associated valid Perl code. Here's a screenshot of some of them. (Did you know that the string `lerzfijglpFiji-j` evaluates to the number `0` in Perl?)

As it turns out, the publication date of my paper was exactly 10-years-minus-a-day since my Ph.D. thesis defense. I'd planned on travelling back to Carnegie Mellon to give this talk live at SIGBOVIK 2019, but unfortunately came down with a nasty cold-and-cough so I had to cancel my trip. :( Perhaps I can give a belated talk at next year's conference.

* [ohnosay](https://twitter.com/mcmillen/status/1095795492196364297), which is like "cowsay" but for comics in the style of webcomicname. [GitHub] This was a good excuse to get a Linux development environment set up on a persistent Google Cloud instance & to learn how to GitHub. Since then, I also realized that the World Outside Google uses Python 3, so I've started learning that :)

* Gardening! Last August I randomly planted some peppermint in a railing container on my balcony, and it went gangbusters. This spring I've actually planned out a whole porch-garden (like [Stardew Valley but real life](https://twitter.com/sevandyk/status/1109121188079427585)). Last year's mint has started growing again, and I've added spearmint and mojito mint. I've also got two types of peas, two mixes of salad greens, and spinach planted. Later I'll be planting carrots, basil, and rosemary. The peas just started sprouting a couple days ago, which is exciting!

* Gloomhaven! This is a cooperative legacy-style board game -- a fun dungeon-crawler that doesn't need a DM, so everyone gets to play. Our group is still only a few scenarios in, but we're enjoying it so far. SO MANY HEX TILES. I'm also getting ready to paint our party's miniatures, which is another (potential) new hobby of mine; more to come in a future newsletter, I suspect :)

* Video games: just started Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice on PS4. Recently completed (and really enjoyed) New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for Nintendo Switch (though Nintendo seems to be trying to give Google a run for their money on ridiculous product names). I've also been playing Total War: Warhammer 2 regularly, and Splatoon 2 from time to time. I tried getting into XCOM 2 & enjoyed it, but I'm not sure I'm interested enough to finish the campaign. I keep going back to Total War when I want something in the tactical / strategy genre.

I only got started in December & a lot of my work so far has been on building infrastructure (and learning how to start a business), so I don't have any Extremely Compelling Gameplay Videos yet. Here's a short animated GIF for now. The [bloopers on Twitter](https://twitter.com/mcmillen/status/1205164954728509440) might be more fun though. :)

Thanks for following along with me on this adventure! Hopefully my next update will come more quickly, and be less wordy! I've wanted to make videogames since I was Literally A Kid, so I'm quite excited to finally be doing that full-time, and to hopefully share something good with all of you. When I'm at a stage where I want alpha testers, I'll definitely be asking here first.
