- 🎣 I am still fully consumed with building my cosy fishing game, Tiddler.
- 🗺️ This week I spent most of my free time fleshing out the small maps for the game to make them more interesting.
- 📦 I also researched a fair bit about the wild fish I didn't know much about. I'm not going for realism but enough to make it believable...
- 📕 The Fishing Log/Encyclopedia has had a full overhaul, it now gives counts of fish that you have collected per zone and pretty bars.
- 😆 I signed up over on omg.lol and have been poking around seeing what I can do with it. status.lol is going to get incorporated somewhere on my site and I'll probably write a tiny app for posting updates from my phone quickly.
- 🛜 My ISP has messed up my static IP and put me being CGNAT so I had to do some firefighting for some of my locally hosted projects. Hopefully they can sort it out next week.
- I decided to ditch GitHub because... Well... Microslop. I now host my own Forgejo server and it backs up automatically every day to a Hetzner Storage Box. Nice.
- 💭 I've got an idea brewing for a project that checks websites for IndieWeb friendly markup and content. It's very early stages of brewing.
- 😣 Must stay focused on finishing one project before starting another...!
