Congrats to Team Fuzion and Shrimp Shack Shooters getting across the finish line for Manaforge: Omega, both taking down Heroic Dimensius this week. The War Within Race to CORE First is now officially over. Great work to all the teams!

Sora is pretty interesting- I find it oddly refreshing that at the very least I _know_ everything is AI generated on it.

… Does everyone else’s β€œfor you” page just show them MLK Jr. and Jake Paul videos? Am I stuck in some sort of weird algorithm?

The Apple Watch series 11 has a pretty impressive battery life!

Full charged yesterday morning before walking the boy to school, it’s currently at 53%.

I keep having dreams where I do a full day's work... It's like working twice as long at half the pay!

Got my Switch 2! Home by 2AM... Rather fitting I guess?

Booted up everyone's favourite: Pokemon Scarlet to see just how "performance improved" it is... 60 fps everywhere. Pretty impressive!

Good thing I just had to buy a new console to get more than 15-20 fps (a generous estimate)...

Decided I'm going to a midnight release for the Switch 2... I've literally never been to a midnight release for anything before. Not entirely sure what to expect.

This will be super cool when it's fully implemented. Definitely going to keep my eye on it!

I've been refactoring/improving some things in a theming framework I've been creating... Today I went from feeling productive, to feeling like I've over thought a problem and I've been wasting my time for months, back to feeling super accomplished... Does anyone else feel like that sometimes?

That's super cool!

As I enter into the last day of a training course I am giving, I find myself overjoyed that I will not have to look at another slide again for the next while...

I'm so tired of slides.

Today there will be no slides! All hands on! All day! No exceptions!... Except for the feedback slides.

Dang it.

Shades of Magic by V. E. Schwab.

3 books. They're all out. They're not huge.

It's about a magician living in London who can travel between parallel worlds, all which have various levels of magic throughout them.

It was a random recommendation from a friend and I ended up _loving_ those books.

I especially can't wait to see @katannshaw.bsky.social's keynote video... I was stuck on booth duty and had to miss it! πŸ‘Ž

Had a great time at #DrupalCampOttawa yesterday! Lots of interesting talks- especially from @cmintyfresh.ca!

My only regret is I couldn't see all the tracks! I'll just have to catch up when the videos are posted on DrupalYOW's YouTube page!

Agreed. They aren't sticky anymore, but the art held up through a wash and dry. Good job @thealexlichter.com

I did! They're all definitely washed haha

At #DrupalCampOttawa... Wearing pants that I apparently haven't worn since #VueConfTO.

I found these in my back pocket @thealexlichter.com?

Could try Wizards Tower, Out of The Box or 401 Games. I think the first 2 do special orders if you ask them.

I like Notion a lot. If they just let me run my own auto backup, I think I'd be fine still using it to be honest.

It's worth noting that Obsidian is not open source, if that's something you're looking for.

If all else fails... Maybe I just make my own. With TipTap... And GitHub.

Docs Docs: Your new companion to collaborate on documents efficiently, intuitively, and securely.

I'm back to Notion after my brief test of AFFiNE. Not a huge fan of what seems like arbitrary limits on storage use? It's self host... It's storage I own. What?

Next I'm going to check out Docs!

docs.numerique.gouv.fr

Open source and backed by French and German governments. Sounds interesting.

Such a masterpiece- so deliberate, yet so... Digestible.

When's your next exhibit?

Upgrading the home server today!

I've been hitting ~95% usage of the 32GB that's in there lately. Hopefully 64 will do for a while.

AFFiNE - All In One KnowledgeOS The universal editor that lets you work, play, present or create just about anything.

So in an attempt to reduce monthly subscription fees I'm trying out AFFiNE, a competitor to Notion that you can self-host.

affine.pro

I've only transferred over a few pages, but it looks pretty cool! The lack of support for callout blocks is unfortunate though.

Overall it looks promising!
