I don’t think I am much of a blogger because I fail to write with any regularity. My life is full of starts and stops with interests followed always along certain tangents. One of those tangents is dogs. I miss Maisy still but I want a dog again now. I’d been getting by with Rover…

Does this site make me a blogger?
So what are the requirements to be a blogger? I like trying to capture my various interests on the web but I document them sporadically at best. I’ve called myself such and over the years have made inconsistent attempts to create some form of web log. There was the original chrispratt.com, which is now vacant…
Sestercentennial
One of my earlier memories is being 5 years old at the bicentennial celebration on July 4th 1976. My earliest and oldest friend Matthew and I had bonded in kindergarten riding the school bus home and tapping out Yankee Doodle Dandy on our lunch boxes as we rode to our bus stops One Stop apart….
Blah…
That sums it up. The past few weeks have just felt that way. I just never feel fully awake until late in the day and everything takes so much effort. I’ve been dog sitting two dogs this past week while their mom is visiting Ireland. I packed up my laptop last week and brought it…
Me rambling I guess… to blog an update. First of the year!
So lots of ideas recently I guess. I’m the sort who does get distracted easily, has a lot of interests and follows them as interested but hardly ever to completion. So not really a lot of ideas recently so much as all the time and it’s interesting what I’m doing and what I actually get…
BG3 is consuming a fair amount of my time
If you have not played it I highly suggest you buy it. It is a blast to play with a group of friends. I’ve trolled and phished the bg3-pc-lfg channel at the Larian Discord for the past month or so accumulating a group of people who enjoy playing a large modded setup of BG3 on…
Musing about Withers’ Wardrobe of Wayward Friends…
thinking that it doesn’t work fully as it should. By that I mean the interaction that happens playing with a group. Right now everyone up to your coop limit (8 in my case) can start a game together and create a character each. If you’re still under your limit additional people can join the group…
BG3 Modding Walkthrough
Have working BG3MM installs. and (if you cant quick install via BG3MM Tools menu) BG3SE Click the folder icon to the right of shortcuts to open your bg3 mod directory. To join us with 80 mods it’s easier to start with a clean directory. It should open wherever your \Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur’s Gate 3\Mods lives. This…
Cleaning out some cobwebs
So I am procrastinating hard of late. I know this because of my renewed interests in anything but what I really need to be doing– that is, overcoming my hoarding and getting my place back to a clean slate. Lately I’ve been trying to learn Python and going through the basics. I’ve also been growing…
Learning .Py and the easy availability of Online Learning
So I wish I grew up with the ease of access to information we have nowadays. I’m interested in learning Python so I DLed and installed Python 3.12.0 today. Looking for a good starter/refresher course I stumbled onto https://www.py4e.com/. I’m the sort who doesn’t describe myself as a coder let alone a programmer but I…
