The Good#
On Tuesday I got a foam blaster I had eyed up at the start of the year, the HC Diana. It’s an injection moulded pistol-style flywheel blaster that shoots extremely hard, but I primarily got it because I love the form factor, and just sliding the magazines in and out has been really fun on its own. Perhaps at some point in the future I’ll look at joining any local games, but for now I’m happy as I am, and will probably do some mods on it to trick it out a little bit.
I did some more maintenance on my services this week: set up an instance of Uptime Kuma for keeping track of my uptime, not that I expect anything to go down (or even have alerting set up), but a nice way to experiment with it in case I want to use it properly in the future; finally set up Borgmatic backups for some important services in case something goes wrong; and moved my Snikket instance to be configured through Arion to bring it alongside the few other services I did the other week.
And I wrote up a /uses page for my website yesterday, inspired by what I saw on my girlfriend’s website while I was bored and poking around, figured I would give it a shot as it was good way to take stock of what I have and actually use; might end up being useful for me in the future in some way.
The Bad#
My sleep didn’t get any better this week unfortunately. I’m purely to blame of course, but it still sucks big time. I need to stop procrastinating on my PC doing nothing of value instead of just going to bed at an earlier time and being able to get some sort of decent sleep. Hopefully I’ll be able to do that this week.
The week started and ended with scorchers of days, hitting a bit above 35°C (I think Monday may have even hit 40). Thankfully Monday was a public holiday so didn’t have work, and today’s Sunday so no work either, but trying to get anything done for myself has been a bit of an extra chore thanks to the heat. And the next few days are looking to be more of the same sadly, hopefully I’ll survive.
The Something Else#
I don’t actually have much else to add here like some other users of this format do; this week was fairly standard for me and nothing of note really pops out at me that would fit (i.e. new things learned, what I’ve been working on). I need to pick up some way of writing daily notes to myself on my thoughts and feelings throughout the week to make the weeknote process easier, but I’ve tried a few things in the past that haven’t really worked out. I should probably do some research in the coming days for that.
