Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.16)

It's Friday now, as I start to write this. I am off work, the first of many fridays off, because i never really go on vacations and have vacation time to use up. Since I'm the only one in my local office, I can't really take like, a month off or something. I don't know that I would want to. Hell I can't really justify to myself taking a week off to just do nothing. If I were going out of town I could, but staying in town feels dodgy. Besides, I rather like my 4 day work weeks. Blaugust…

Water Bottle

I keep telling myself, one day I will have a more "healthy lifestyle". I've made some attempts to move this direction for a while, but It never really feels like it's getting anywhere. I go without soda, I try to eat less carbs, I walk more, I try to get myself to actually do workouts. One thing is drinking more water. Something that helped quite a lot with this was getting a decent water bottle, which kind of happened rather serendipitously. Occasionally, I get random, stuff, I guess, for lack of a better thing to call it from work. Sometimes…

Various Projects

Partly for my own organization (ha ha) I wanted to run down some projects I have been doing or hope to do soon. GOG Download Its taken like a week and a half, but I have finally finished downloading roughly 500 games, 2TB of files, for all of the games I own on GOG. I have even installed an played a few of them. Interestingly enough, they snap right into the GOG launcher, which is nice. Now that I've run it once I can just do an update then download to get any updates and new games once a month…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.09)

I start writing this a bit early as I do, half asleep after working a partial night shift at work. Weee…. Lets talk Blaugust progress. I have somehow made it through a week. I am not sure I will make it a month, half this week were kind of filler posts because I split one big write up up into three posts. Is that cheating? Maybe? There are not really any rules. I actually have a big giant folder of memes and screen caps and random images to "inspire writing" and every time I open that folder, I just kind…

Code Project – Powershell + AI – Downloading My GOG Library the Easy Way

With all of the recent controversy about games getting censored for content, not necessarily against the law, but that other private companies have decided is "questionable", I decided it might be a good idea to backup all of my Good Old Games (GOG) titles. Especially since I now have my new 10TB drive to dump them on. Because of course, GOG sells it's games without DRM. I started to do this manually, but it's incredibly tedious. Surely someone has a script, and sure enough, they have (Link). It works well enough. It's a single file, which is nice. It needed…

Mission Accomplished-ish

For various search purposes, this is my experience trying to replace the Window Regulator and motor on a 2015 Chevy Sonic. Maybe, a month or two ago, my passenger side car window started having issues rolling up and down. It usually would be that the driver's side controls would not work, so. I would lean over and hit the passenger side controls. It gotten worse a couple of weeks ago. It rolled down for the drive to work, it would not roll up again using any buttons. I went about searching online for a solution, and found that the most…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.02)

I didn't post last week, and almost didn't this week, it's been a bit of a slow non eventful couple of weeks. Nothing really new going on at all. But it's Blaugust, so I should post, because it's kind of "easy filler". Life Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat, Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat, Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat… Not quite as fun as raving I suppose. I've had a bit of interesting excitement going on at work that I really probably can't really discuss, so that's fun. Not much exciting honestly. I finally got around to putting up actual netting around the little…
