[Under Construction!]
Create: What did I do or make today?
I worked on my neocities site, after fumbling over and over again trying to find a starter template for what I’m looking for, as well as build something from the ground up. I have tried so many different projects, and most of them did not stick. Not until I came across Hlomen’s site, and was inspired. So many things clicked. It’s small. It’s not distracting. Navigation is simple. Each page has it’s own touch of flair, but not too different. Credits at the bottom.
Had some spare time to dig through mountains and mountains of “pages” both digital and physical. Sorting though the ones I want to keep. Taking small bits, or simply getting rid of what is no longer needed or relevant. I really love this whiteboard-like paper I have so I don’t need to waste paper, and I can fill up an entire book and transfer whatever I need at the end of the month. Wipe down the book, and it’s as good as new!
Found some time to finally clean one of my most used desk pens, Pilot Kakuno, with standard Noodler’s X-Feather ink. It ran out, and I like to clean out the cartridge and refill it with an ink syringe. So while that takes about a day to clean and dry, I pulled out my TWSBI Eco from a year or so sitting in storage. Always impressed to see that it still writes with no issues at all, ever. Perfect for a backup! I don’t remember what ink I filled it up with, but my best guess is Monteverde Horizon Blue.
Consume: What did I read/listen to/watch today?
Besides chewing through many guides of building a site, I found myself listening to Ludocrypt again. They have a very nice calming and emotional style of music that isn’t distracting and sits perfectly when I need to focus on something for a long time. Just finished up AHS 1984, which was as short as I remembered it (second time watching the entire series.)
Contemplate: What did I think about today?
Work has been sort of my main focus these days, have not had a lot of personal time (besides working on this site.) and I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to finishing up some of my structures, and templates, everything slowly coming together and I’m always excited to put it all into action!
Contact: Who did I talk to today?
Put in some extra effort recently to make time to check-in with close friends. Nice to hear from them when we all have time to catch-up. Share stories, updates, and simply hangout if time syncs up anyways.
Circle-back: Something to explore later.
At the end of 2024, I stumbled upon something called Pico-8, and I really wanted to grab the collection when it was on sale, but missed it. Soon I forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago. Now I am sparked because it has my two favorite games! Tetris and Minecraft what are the odds? I think I originally came across this thing when a few friends shared some PS1 style 3d models, of cars, or isometric maps or something. I can’t remember but I loved the style and look of it. Will absolutely revisit this again one day.
Reflections,
Ran out of steam writing all this, may revisit later and fix. Sorry.
