Last weekend I had a go at challenge II (b):

II. (b)

Get an A-Z map (or similar) of your city - something that has a grid of squares overlaid on the maps. Choose a page at random, then choose a grid column on that page at random. Start in the square at the top of this column, and travel as far as you can down the page without leaving the column.


I couldn't find my A-Z street atlas, so had to use a city centre map. Report, with images )

Looking for Input

[personal profile] soc_puppet posting in [community profile] access_fandom
I've come up with a really quick draft of something to help convention attendees decide if they should bring their Emotional Service Animals to conventions (and, if they do, whether they should bring the animal out or leave it in their hotel room). (Apparently I thought it was easier to try and write one myself than to use google.)

I've included everything I can think of that would help people make that decision or might impact that decision, but I'm sure that there are things I haven't thought of. In fact, I've thought of one while typing this entry that I'll be adding momentarily. If anyone has any suggestions of things I've missed, concrit of things I've included, or anything along those lines, I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's the link if you want to check it out. Thanks in advance!

Side note: While it's (probably) too late for me to arrange this year, as the con I'm staffing is in three weeks, next year I will be looking into hosting a Therapy Dog for a few hours to help out with anyone who does have to leave their ESA at home or in their hotel room. I'm hoping it'll also help defer people distracting service dogs, since the Therapy Dog will be there for them to pet and snuggle and generally go goofy over.

(Final paragraph edited for clarity.)

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

(aka, the thing that lets us do changelog posts and a few other things, like - I believe - the autoclaiming thing)

https://developer.github.com/changes/2018-04-25-github-services-deprecation/

What should replace it for us? Or should there be a bug for it?
