Week 43

A vague and uneventful week. Just how I like them.

Work

Came back from leave into a sprint that a) started in my absence b) was a continuation of work I hadn't previously been involved with c) maybe wasn't too well defined (?)

Hard to get momentum up under the circumstances. So the fact that the second half of the week was extensive meetings was... fine?

Life

The last week in October is always a bit of a stress, what with Halloween discos, costume stuff, birthday party prep, etc.

This year we've also had builders, tilers and electricians pushing to get the loft finished and some kind of remortgage paperwork confusion... Bleh.

Leisure

Games

The retrogame tinkering phase seems to be winding down. I've got my shader preferences more or less figured out and no more big topics to explore. I'm settling into actually playing games rather than futzing with the hardware.

Projects

...time to futz with some different hardware!

Last night I set up Jellyfin on the RPi4 and it seems really nice. The new SSD should be arriving today, so the timing works out quite nicely.

The Optiplex isn't arriving until later in the week, so I hope I have enough to fiddle with until then. Guess I can always use the RPi3 that was previously running Kodi to try out the night-vision camera.

I really have gone full geek recently.
