I could go see most of my +friends or family in less than a week. + +And I continue painting miniatures, which is nice. +I feel like I’m improving. +However, I’ve already purchased too many miniatures this year. +I won’t buy any new ones, with some exceptions : if I find a cheap "Battle for +the Skull Pass" box secondhand, the future Legions Imperialis box, and if +something catches my eyes at the local gaming convention. +Then next year, I won’t buy anything until I’ve painted some more, and then I +would only get single miniatures. + +## Tilde Town + +I haven’t done a lot around here. +I was mostly away, but I’m coming back. + +## Minis + +* I’ve continued reading through the *Horus Heresy* series. + I’ve written about [Battle for the + Abyss](https://minis.kestrels-and-roses.rocks/index.php?post/2023/05/10/Battle-for-the-Abyss) + as well as read Mechanicum, though I won’t publish a review + for it. +* I’ve played my first solo game of [Space + Weirdos](https://www.wargamevault.com/product/359157/Space-Weirdos), [Patrol + on + Kabenarah](https://minis.kestrels-and-roses.rocks/index.php?post/2023/05/19/Patrouille-sur-Kabenarah). + It was quite fun, and I’ll continue this solo campaign ! +* I’ve finished painting the [Penitents of + Rausch](https://minis.kestrels-and-roses.rocks/index.php?post/2023/09/07/Les-P%C3%A9nitents-de-Rausch). + I’m very happy about my paint job there ! + +## Computer stuff + +* I’ve done some more work on the [selfhost + wiki](https://unknown-artist-selfhost.frama.io/selfhost-wiki/), + notably finishing the instructions for running a Valheim server. +* I’ve installed Calibre Web on my NAS. It was quite easy to do, although it’s + weird it requires creating a metadata file beforehand, and I had messed up + the permissions. Now I’ll be looking for an e-reader as mine broke a couple + years ago. +
