Recovering.
Most of my life for the past week was attending the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts (SLSA) conference in Irvine, CA. Conference went quite well, I did a talk on the Game Haptics Router as a tool for creating new haptic spaces for communication, analyzing the strategy via proxemics. Reception was surprisingly good. I should have a version of the talk filmed and up on Youtube by the end of the week.
Scrambling to finish my SLSA presentation on hidden haptics spaces in online games (aka using the GHR in online games) that I have to give on Friday!
Did you know proxemics is a thing? I didn't until like, yesterday. So I've got a lot of reading to do now. :|
After a year of waiting my Lelo F1s showed up today. I did a super quick unboxing video because, well, it comes with masturbation racing gloves! How could I not!

The spirit moved me to savagely critique it from my perspective as a sex tech engineer. That review is what you see above, assuming Patreon didn't compress it to hell and back.
tl;dr: I'm now using 2 funding platforms, but there will be no fundamental changes due to this. Unless you want the gritty details of what it's like to be a creator with multiple patron streams, you can skip this post. :)
For anyone that follows me on twitter, you may've noticed that I was accepted to the Github Sponsors program. Github Sponsors is basically Patreon with a bit more of a development/corporate/open source focus.
Rust. That's it. Just rust.
Ok, well, not quite. I did actually take the time to do a couple of other things:
Crap when did it become Tuesday.
Buttplug C# 0.5.1 went out last week with support for the Motorbunny. Buttplug JS will be getting an upgrade pretty soon, also with Motorbunny support as well as a couple of fixes to some rather serious bugs.
More than usual, less than I want.
Managed to get buttplug-py 0.1.0 out the door. With that and the tutorial being done, I'm hoping to get back to low level protocol development. This will including adding new features to the base system, like:
