Yep, a moderately exciting week I guess.

- I need to fix my Voyager layout again
- Homelab is sitting dormant for now, I need to plan the SSO and exit node stuff again
Gaming
- Idle games are ruling me right now. Lootun and ‘Unnamed Space Idle’
- I have a slightly weird urge to play an MMO...
- But so are ETS and ATS (which means setting up my wheel again)
Music
- Honestly, nothing special this week. Came across Envy and yeah Japanese screamo is mostly pretty good.
- I did spend a bunch of time listening to So Hideous’s None But a Pure Heart Can Sing and I still wish they’d make new music
Watching
- One Piece. We’re just before Marineford and our memories of what’s been going on has been completely wrong. That’s been kinda fun to learn
- Spent Friday watching the Geoff Keighley Experience (The Game Awards) on-and-off. Meh
- This was a neat little video about the genesis of the Japanese internet
- This made me miss cycling in snow back in Oulu a bit
Things
Work
- I did indeed survive the layoffs. So did my team. As did our business unit. Yay!
- Not really looking forward to how the new structure will be though. Some spoilers involve replacing our entire CI/CD with something else to fit in with where our software will be. But that’s at least a month in the future
Health
- I ballooned one day by 2 WHOLE KILOs and then lost it 2 days later, which means I’m back in the 171kg range
- A new gym is opening nearby and I’m thinking of joining because, well, I need to
Misc
- I took Wednesday off and went and collected a bunch of packages. They were mostly Kickstarter’s I had backed and forgotten about and will never touch (they are TTRPGs)
- I’m experimenting with physical journals again because I just put notes in too many places. Shame about the handwriting though
