Some more #big-spending going on around here with the arrival of my brand new TV… remote control. 🤑

Yeah, I finally got a replacement remote control for my TV. And honestly, doing so was a long time in coming. The old one (right) has been failing over the last few years: with certain buttons, particularly Power and Enter, requiring significantly more force that others before responding. About a month or so ago, the Power button stopped functioning completely, and the only way I could turn the TV on was to use the Netflix button (making that button useful for the first time in years) and quickly switching to AV 2. That, plus the volume, were the only buttons working by the end.

The weather is stubbornly refusing to turn autumnal. Fortunately the trees are happy to oblige.

That small lizard that occasionally gets inside my house is back. Got a bit of a surprise when I saw it in the hallway today. It ran as I reached for my phone to take this picture.

Added a few final things to my Godot game, such as a really boring title and end-title screen, before preparing a release for play testers (or play tester, I’ve got exactly one lined up). I think we’re ready.

Do you POSSE? I POSSE. You’re seeing me POSSE right now. POSSE!!1!

Two awesome vessels: a water bottle I got from AWS reInvent, and a keepcup I bought at Coles. What makes them awesome is that they’re double-layered, so my coffee stays hot and my water stays cool.

Here’s a useful Obsidian plugin. It allows you to use emoji short-codes in your notes, just like Slack and I think some flavours of Markdown. Good for todo lists where emojis could be used to highlight questions or priority items.
