Played Deep Rock Galactic on Steam (store.steampowered.com)
Deep Rock Galactic is a 1-4 player co-op FPS featuring dwarven space miners, procedurally-generated destructible environments, and endless hordes of alien monsters. Explore cave systems, mine for minerals, and work together to survive!

Couple of missions with my best boy. Did the new Season 6 Mission “Heavy Extraction” with a bonus “Scrab Nesting Grounds”. New mission is refreshingly straight forwards, and the scrabs are surprisingly unique given their similarity to swarmers/mactera!

Liked Every Built-In Vim Color Scheme (with screenshots) by JustinJustin (justinjoyce.dev)

I tried searching for a nice listing of all the built-in Vim :colorscheme (or :colo for short) options and I couldn’t find one, so here it is. This post is every :colo option that comes with Vim and a screenshot of what it looks like with some nonsense python code.

This is very cool. I really appreciate it when people take the time to do this sort of grunt work and share it.

I’ve been tinkering with a Canvas-based Power App for over a year and have just now realised that I wish I kept a changelog. I’ve added loads of features and fixed loads of tricky little bugs and I wish I could read it all in one place. Also, I’m getting close to sharing it with the world, and so a changelog seems desirable.

Why did I not keep a change log? Well, Canvas-based Power Apps don’t readily lend themselves to “userspace” version control. You don’t have a “local” copy of the app/code. I am pretty sure you can switch on some background git repo if you have the enterprise licensing, but we do not. And while you can extract the Power Fx code for each screen, it’s not something you’d want to do often.

However, all is not completely lost! I don’t have any training in Agile software development but I do understand the fundamentals of Minimum Viable Product. And, because the app itself is an Outlook-integrated Task timer/tracker, I started using it straight away to track the work I was doing on the app. So, I do have dates for when I did what, which I can cross-reference against the version history provided in Power Apps Studio.

I might be able to cobble something together but I wish I’d just kept one from the start! With that said, I should go and start one now

Management asks us to write long manuals for the board on using our company's database software. I have been padding it out with chapters from a printed 1990s manual for WordPerfect 4.0. Nobody has even noticed it.

I’ve done short guides, long guides, short videos, long videos. People never read/watch them. It’s almost like an aversion…

Lawyer here: I add Idiot Tax of £200 on to my fees on matter where someone has made an offer on a house "£123,767" instead of a simple round number. It's not clever, it just marks you out as a twat.

Glad that’s not a thing on eBay! My last second bids always end in the same odd number of pence in an effort to beat other people doing similar.

Anyone else feel like the whole / “Deep State” conspiracy thing is actually broadly playing out as theorised? It’s just implicating “the wrong people”, as far as the right is concerned…

Watched Censor (2021) by an author from letterboxd.com
A screener at the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), who has earned an unsavory reputation for being the strictest censor of violent films, begins to spiral out of control after viewing a low-budget horror with similarities to the disappearance of her sister.

This review may contain spoilers.

Bit disappointed we never found out what happened to Nina. However, that does leave guilt and grief as the explanation and, as the outcome emphasises the depth of those feelings, it becomes more unsettling than some “sinful” motivation. Even with the significant time lapse, it still feels credible, which is some accomplishment.

★★★½ (contains spoilers)

Watched Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) by an author from letterboxd.com
Follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species, thought to be mere myths, rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.

Watched Watch the Skies (2022) by an author from letterboxd.com
When a foster home placed teenage rebel suspects that her father is not dead but kidnapped by UFOs, she takes help from a UFO association to find out the truth. Together, they embark on a risky adventure that takes them far beyond the laws borders and into a world filled with UFO expeditions, conspiracies and inexplicable phenomena.

If this was in 6 parts, it could have been a TV show I watched as a kid and I’d have loved it 😊
