Weeknote 01, 2025


Hello world, happy new year!

Curiously, no new year’s fireworks going off in my area when midnight hit, when they have done previous years. I was taking a shower at the time so maybe I could’ve missed them, but I did hear a few isolated pops while in there so I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any big show. A shame IMO.

My Quest 3 arrived on Tuesday, and so far the experience has been really great. The optical clarity compared to the Quest 2 is really impressive, and so is the full-colour passthrough (compared to the black-and-white cameras of its predecessor). I forgot how bad the default head strap on the Quest 2 was though, and this comes with pretty much an identical design sadly; I’ve ordered a third-party strap so my usage is probably going to be pretty light until that arrives, as it will be a much more comfortable experience.

Some real stinkers weather wise today and yesterday here in Victoria, almost hitting 40°C both days. Thankfully expecting rain on Monday, but the rest of the week looks like it’ll be pretty warm, but nowhere near how bad it was.

This week’s song is Kooma - blue tint.
