Hello world!
I missed last week’s entry and didn’t remember until it was pretty late! As a result I’m going to merge some of last week’s stuff in here, so that they aren’t lost.
Last week (2025-W20)#
- I picked up Balatro again after a few weeks of not playing. During that time I’ve been watching a lot of the streamer Roffle and learnt quite a bit from him, especially in regards to cutting unwanted cards from your deck. As a result, I was able to score a pretty good run on Black Deck, reaching ante 12 for the first time.
- I’ve been re-watching all of EthosLab’s Life Series episodes while I’ve been working. Good background noise and it’s been nice revisiting them.
- I decided to go public with my ATProtocol project! It’s called Comet and is aiming to be a decentralised music-streaming platform. It’s still very early days (still in the process of fleshing out the lexicons), but hoping it turns out well.
This week#
- I got some new file uploading stuff finished at work (using the Tus protocol), only for it to break in a weird way because I had misunderstood how the library expected to work, as I wasn’t initially giving it a determinate ID, among a few other small things.
- My momentum on Comet has been going good. The base record lexicons are done (I think) and I’m currently working on some stuff in Elixir to be used for the AppView. It’s pretty deep in the weeds as a bunch of this stuff doesn’t have any pre-existing Elixir/BEAM implementations, but it’s coming along well.
- Haven’t really played any games this week sadly, I’m pretty bad at giving myself some proper leisure time. Really need to work on that.
