Blood Bowl Digital

It's almost Xmas and time to down tools for a while and get all Christmas-y (despite what some people will tell you, tinsels and baubles still lead soldering irons and wire strippers in the Xmas stakes).
But before we wind down for the holiday season, we've been busy working on a website for our Digital Blood Bowl game board. We've called it Blood Bowl Digital.

A preview of the site can be found at http://www.nerdclub.co.uk/bloodbowl
You can create teams and build online rosters and assign attributes and skills to all your players.
The idea behind this is to have a gateway between an online team/games manager and a way of getting player data into the game board.

Hopefully - if we manage to keep on the "nice list" for the next few days - we'll have some spanky 20x4 character displays to actually demonstrate something come Boxing Day.....

New website and projects

Welcome to the updated, new-for-2011 Nerd Club website!
We've learned from the old site and we're now using the excellent Blogger platform not only for our content, but for images and videos too. We had lots of interest on the old blog site, but when our own server went down, it took all the photos posted on there with it - so lots of posts didn't make much sense without illustrations to explain what was going on!

This new site is an improvement on the old: we're still going to be making cool stuff and writing about it here (including schematics and source code where appropriate) but we've also included links to a video website and even a shop, where you can buy kits of all your favourite geeky gadgets.

Things may be a little slow during these early weeks, as we spend time getting familiar with the hosting platform again, and getting things like the shopping cart integrated with the rest of the site, but don't worry - we'll soon be spouting off about all kinds of nerdy stuff on a regular basis!

In the meantime, here are some links to a couple of other blogs which ramble on about some of the other projects we're involved in:
