Building things makes me happy, which is one of the top reasons I’m still in this hobby so many years down the line.
Professionally I’m a software developer, which also allows me to build things. Then, when I have spare time, I get to loop back and build software for my model hobby.
CheatedFates radio asked me today on Twitter if I was going to update my web crew builder and model reference. (side note: Twitter is not the best place to grab me, but it works) So I spent a half hour and updated, greatly assisted by having a PDF copy of the book. Previously I’d write hand-write notes from the book on the bus (I do a lot of stuff on the bus/Skytrain), then translate those (occasionally poorly done) notes to computer form on my lunch break at work. The PDF let me skip that horrible middle step.

And for any software developers who use this tool and who might feel inclined to make it cooler, I accept pull requests on GitHub: https://github.com/rythos42/MalifauxModels-Web
