What I’ve Been Up To (May 2025)

What I’ve Been Up To (May 2025)

As I've decided to combine my blogs, I'm still kind of trying to decide if I should combine my occasional, "What I've been Playing" and "What I've Been Doing" posts. Or if I should do one post for each. I post them irregularly anyway, so it doesn't really matter that much in the end. Gaming Let's go with Updates on what I've been playing, from my usual suspects, for now. Infinity Nikki I'm not sure where to even start here. I still WANT to play Infinity Nikki, I still WANT to enjoy the game, but something just feels… off… with…

Weekly Wrap Up – 11.24.2024 – 12.01.2024

When I write these in my local copies, I don't put the date ranges on them, just the date they were written. Its one of the most pain in the butt parts of this because it means opening some sort of calendar. I mean, its not hard, but I really do not look at calendars a lot. At least not beyond "Day of the week". While I am rambling about things I don't follow, I also don't really follow the weather. Somehow, despite decades of data, and AI and all the magic pf technology, weather predicting still seems like a…

Weekly Wrap Up (11.17.2024 to 11.24.2024)

I started posting these, a while back but they kind of fell by the wayside. I guess some of it just got covered in regular posting, and some of it ends up on the other blog, if I bother. Probably, I decided I didn't really care. But maybe I should care. So here we are. I have actually done a few of my "wishlist todo" projects this week. I have recently been hardcore digging through my too many bookmarks problem in Firefox. This has been an ongoing effort for a few months now, but I started on a phase two…

Hey yo, not dead, just busy mostly. I forget if I mentioned it at all before, but starting right off at the beginning of the year I started doing some night classes through a work deal, so that has been eating up a lot of time. They run 3 nights a week for like 5 hours. The last one is on Tuesday though, so that will be over, until the next one I've signed up for at the end of February. The class currently is a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) prep class. I am pretty sure it also includes…

It's that time of year again, when everyone is cheerful and celebrating and partying and buying gifts. That's right, it's my birthday. And these days, there isn't a lot of partying or buying gifts. Which isn't really a big deal. I have long gotten to the age when I really don't care much for all of that. It's always kind of been a sort of, blessing and a curse having a birthday this time of year. On one hand, you end up being around more family more often so you end up with more "token gifts". Often you at least…

Oh look, I fell into the "Trap of Not". I am pretty sure I mentioned it before. It's just a little phrase I think about sometimes when I want to do something but I just, do not. Specifically, in this case, writing and blogging. Like these little Saturday write-ups, I wanted to at least keep up with them, but I ended up, well, not. I also feel stupid jealous of people who blog and write regularly right now. Look at Cynni's Blog here, she writes daily. Long detailed posts, daily, with her dog and her little neat cartoon images spiced…

Pygmalion Festival 2023 @ Urbana, IL

NOTE: Original Post Title: 2023.09.24 - Weekly Wrap Up (09.17.2023 - 09.23.2023) I am bad at selfies.  I added one last week to these little journal posts and I wanted one for this week but they are kind of bad.  Or maybe I am just bad at looking excited. Anyway, I'm not late, I am intentionally not on time, because I was busy yesterday.  I spent almost all day in Champaign (Urbana technically) at the Pygmalion event at the Rose Bowl Tavern.  I'm actually not sure if there is one of these or more of them per year, but it's…
