Hello world!
I had a pretty busy week at work, knuckling down to get a big new feature ready for release! Didn’t quite get there due to rounds of feedback, but it’s in a pretty good state to go early next week, so I’m happy with myself. Sadly due to being busy I’ve been a little out of it when it’s come to hobby work. Wrapping my head around OAuth stuff for atex has been pretty hard, but I think I’ve almost gotten it by looking at various example implementations, so hopefully next week I’ll have at least a basic implementation of my own.
I finally got myself a new pillow as I’ve been having trouble with my last one, getting a lot of neck pain and just generally hard to find a comfortable position with. It really was a pretty big disappointment as I spent quite a bit on it, so I held out on getting a new one as I didn’t want the same situation to happen again. However I’m happy to report that the new one has been going really well for me, so it was a good call after all! If you’re interested in the particular pillow I got, it’s the Dosaze Contoured Orthopaedic Pillow. I found it through a list of recommendations a friend sent me.
I also got myself a new mouse because the scroll wheel on the mouse I’ve had for a few years decided to start playing up, constantly scrolling in the wrong direction when I want to get somewhere. Very very irritating. Granted, I probably could just open it up and maybe clean something out, but I figured it was a good time for me to try something other than Logitech for once (especially because the software stack on Linux is a little janky in my experience). A friend suggested a few different mice, and out of them I settled on the LAMZU Maya. It’s pretty crazy that the weight difference between this and my previous mouse (G PRO X Superlight) can be felt - I thought it wouldn’t be that noticeable. It’s been feeling great in my few hours of playing The Finals this past week, and I’ve picked up a bit of Kovaak’s again alongside it to help fine-tune my settings.
And it’s been a while since I put any music here but it’s been a really, really good past week and a bit for music for me. 3 of my favourite artists all released albums recently and they’re all so good! Pendulum finally released their first album in 15 years - Inertia - and while it is mostly a compilation of the two EPs they released since making a return, the new songs in the album are incredible and I’m so happy I live in a world where they’re making music again. I even got to see them live a few years ago and it was an amazing experience, I hope I’m able to do it more in the future, provided they come back to Australia. Puppet released Victory with a great message behind it. And finally EDEN released Dark which is very very good. Overall I’m a very happy camper and I’ll be relistening to all these for a good long while.
