My places
- Montival Abbey - A medieval monastery-themed house, based on floor plans and buildings of Cistercian/Trappist monks. Construction has been suspended for now.
- Wizard's Guild - While only a small portion was designed/built by me, I hired Lolcam as our architect, so that means I get all the credit due her. :D We still need to finish this mess.
- Ye Publick Mine - A place deep under the ocean where folks can go to harvest resources if they don't feel like digging their own branch mine. Under Construction.
- Emerald City - or whatever I'm going to name it. A city funded by trading villagers for emeralds and glistening with gold
- Undisclosed Location - An abandoned mine reopened by Deep Vein Thrombosis Mining Company to bring JamesOfJames back to his miner's roots and replenish dwindling supplies.
- As of 2/2/2012, dibs on this town? Yep. Dibs.

A cool spot between shooofle's house and the proposed site of the Western Depot.
A cliff face which may become the location of the Great Western Depot.

I like how it looks like Fo0bar is looking at my butt here.
...I think I need to sober up before I play MineCraft.

I saw my second pink sheep while wandering/procrastinating today!
Squid you do not belong in the sky! You are a squid you belong in the water! You cannot swim in the air, it is not a fluid so get down from there!
So yeah, apparently snark saw these torches as attached to the right wall, while I saw them as floating rather mysteriously. I chalk it up to the magick that surrounds the Wizard's Guild.
That's qwantz's house, as viewed from Waterfalling's master bedroom.
TaviRider-inspired projects
And now, for TaviRider:
An overview of the board from the back-left corner.
A bit closer to view the displays.
The left-side roller, pulse generators, and NOR gates.
A closer view of the left roller and three of its outputs.
A rather poor shot of the #1 NOR gate feeing the #1 RSNOR latch.
The RSNOR latches which feed into the right-side 7-segment's inputs.
The pulse generators from the detector rails to the right-side RSNOR gates.
The right-side roller.
These dice were built mostly to test the theory that detector rail could be used to make a compact RNG. At the moment, I'd say that it is possible, though my implementation is flawed - I still get a null result and a double result on a more-than-occasional basis. The left side was built first and was found to be deeply flawed, with double results as common/more common than single results. After troubleshooting for some time to little result, I built the right side with a larger roller loop - I supposed, based on the high occurrence of the left-side roller giving double numbers, that a larger circuit for the cart might help - this one is designed so that the cart will never be touching two detector rails at once. Nonetheless, double numbers are still rolled - to help cull these, I've timed the call button to hit each NOR gate simultaneously. I've also wired the button into the reset line of the RSNOR latches with a delay, which *should* be weeding out all results but those pulled in a 1-tick window. I also attempted adding a pulse generator to the button to reduce the amount of time the NOR gates were closed, but ended up getting too many nulls. I suppose the detector rails must be producing overlapping signals still, though watching the torches would suggest otherwise.
Personal notes
Things Magekeep needs
- Farm, maybe windmill for flavor.
