Time flies! I can't believe it's been 6 months since I launched SpellBinding...
gemini://tilde.cafe/~spellbinding/game/cgi?
What's even more amazing is that I managed to write a wordlog entry every day! (I think I missed a few days when I was on the road)
It's become my morning routine to look up any words I am not too sure about, and sometimes even those I thought I was sure about - the dictionary is full of surprises. And post about them. I've definitely learned a few words (not as many as I had hoped, but still).
It is also humbling to see how Murphy's laws work. Everything that can go wrong, will, given enough time. Running an internet-facing service is something I've never done before, and I've learned a few lessons about bulletproofing places I would not ordinarily bother with. Predictably, it is my own human errors (with manual operations) that were mostly problematic.
I am also amazed at how solid tilde.cafe is. Thank you so much -- I haven't had a single issue! Look:
$uptime 11:23:20 up 226 days ...
My hat is off!
And thank _you_, all the players!
