Playing Music Roulette with an ancient harddrive that I've networked up via a raspberryPi: luckily this one is New Order, including Blue Monday!

Whiskey fan? Like, *really* a fan? He's some dangerous news: a whiskey auction just started today.. 😬

Loving this rotary phone one!

This is what my life has become

Hmm, thank didn't last as long as I'd like. It's really easy, as you don't need to really take part in battles (which is the point), so as long as you have an echo of a tough monster, you just hang back and let them do the hard work.

This week was a day early, and I'm already 1 for 1.

Gin Sour: approved ✅

Portuguese Christmas crackers: need some work.

"What did the banana say to the cat?

Nothing, because bananas can't talk"

Don't think they've quite nailed the entire package yet..

It's Christmas Day, day time, and there's Die Hard, and Die Hard 2 in English, uncensored, on Portuguese TV! I'm still so used to the "recorded off ITV" version from my childhood that I'm surprised with the swearing and the lack of ad breaks 😅

Merry Christmas!

"Electricity Maps" is fascinating! You can visualise a map showing a selection of realtime and historical eletricity use and approximate associated carbon emmisions.

Europe and UK is doing quite well, very suprising that Australia isn't making use of that abundant sunshine!

Let me just take a quick note before I forget..

Uh.. wait.. dammit, forgot

All the internet points go to my local fishmonger's email marketing team for these email subjects...

I love Sim City, the old one from the SNES. I remember playing it a lot, and enjoying it. However, I've realised that I never even made it past the practice scenario! I'm playing it again now (retroPi) and having to Google guides and tactics, just to get past the introduction!

Fitness Boxing on the Switch must be in my Top 5 most played games (behind a couple Zeldas, Streets of Rage 4, and at least one Mario); this got me through covid lockdowns and constantly sorts out my stiff back. Only problem (for them) is that I have zero incentive to buy the sequels!

I thought it might be FUN to finally fix the dependabot alerts I've been getting for years, prompting me to update my public github repos, so I decided to write up the process.

I'm on the *first repo*, 1500+ words and 20+ images in, and I haven't even got it building yet 😣
