Oh, that was also an update to the show durations for the shows I saw yesterday at the Ottawa Fringe Theatre Festival. If you don't want to use #FFVSO, you can still see my list of actual show times at www.agmsmith.ca/FFVSO/2025Al...

I've updated my #FFVSO scheduling program with actual 2025 #OttFringe Ottawa Fringe Theatre Festival show run times, for the shows I've seen (now 25 shows!). That means you can schedule more accurately and not unexpectedly have to run between LabO and Nouvelle Scène theatres in 7 minutes.

[Long list of times, show names (with notes), and venues, in a nice table format. Summary statistics at the bottom for boasting.]

After some fiddling and rearranging, I've finished my first draft of a schedule to see maybe 53 shows at the 2025 #OttFringe Ottawa Fringe Theatre Festival. As usual, I used #FFVSO to try out different options, web.ncf.ca/au829/FFVSO/... if you want to try it out on your schedule or edit mine.

An example listing of 3 shows, with most of the text being a list of places on a path between one venue and the very far out Cafe Alternatif.

I'll need to update the map data for Café Alternatif (recycled some old distances from 2014, making for a lengthy path), but other than that, #FFVSO is now usable!

I should add a feature (first time in a while) to keep track of masked and other special showings. Nudge me and it will get done.

I finally had time to type in this season's #OttFringe Theatre Festival show times into #FFVSO, my scheduling app for Fringe Bingers. Pack in dozens of shows into as short a time as you can fit them. My record is something like seeing 53 shows in one Fringe.

That’s pretty fast, many people in Western society are closer to 2km/h. Though if they grew up in a place with no cars and walked a lot (like behind the iron curtain), 4+ km/h is typical. I had to factor that into my #FFVSO Fringe Theatre Festival schedule maker.
