Weekly Wrap Up (2025.12.06)

Normally this time of year I would be doing Advent of Code. This year they changed the way its run, no leader boards, less exercises. The leader boards thing seems to be somewhat in retaliation for people using AI. It removes the incentive to get done super quick. They also kind of sucked depending on your time zone. I already quit on Day 1. I got stuck on part 2, I tried, I changed things I rethought what was happening, I even maybe sort of found a problem, but I couldn't work it out. I even did my usual method…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.11.22)

Aye, I kind of have things to ramble about this week. Gaming I started on UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves. Its been on my list for a while. Its, kind of super awesome. Big chonkey robot combat, super cheezy old school anime plot and moments. I feel like the controls are maybe a little overly complex, but I can get used to it. Its also interesting how there are so many modes of gameplay depending on what is going on. Grendizer is a giant robot, but there is also a flying Space mode for when Grendizer combines…

WordPress Image Optimization

Something I've tried to do, then forgot I was trying to do, for while now, is to optimize the images across the WordPress sites I have.   It's actually just this one for me, and my wife's two old blogs she no longer really uses.  There are a variety of plug ins that do this, I believe all of them require subscribing to some sort of API.  I'm not spending \$100 to optimize my 22,000 images and I'm not going to remember to come back monthly to chip away at 500 free images per month. The thing is, I'm also, pretty…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.11.09)

I wasn't going to bother posting a wrap up this week, not a lot going on really.  No new music, no new toy stuff, I already wrote twice about my microblog code project (That's two links there)   In boring life news, I went and  finally set up an annual check up with a new doctor.  My old one retired, I kept putting it off.  Unlike everyone else in my house, I don't have any sort of critical or chronic conditions that really require a doctor (that I know of).  I can buy my Omeprazole OTC.   In sad news, we had…

Sharing Workflow

So, I wrote this, or at least, something like this, then sat on it for months, and now its out of date. Its GROTESQUELY out of date. The new/current system is way better thanks to this thing I had AI build. Its also a process that has sort of, evolved over time. It was a digest that posted daily on its own, but I didn't always share stuff, so it because one I shared randomly, then weekly, manually. Then it was attached to my weekly write ups. I may still use the wrap up, but now.it just shares. And it…
