Jan 25: What did I do this week?
2026-01-25
Slowly bounced back from last week
It wasn't as quick as I thought it was going to be, because of chaotic sleep messing me up, but now I'm back to where I was two weeks ago, and I can do things pretty easily again. Better late than never.
Did some prep work for cleaning
I wiped my old unused HDDs and put them in a pile along with old GPUs so I can start throwing them out. There's a 500 GB HDD in there that was manufactured in April of 2011, and I think I'm probably not going to need it if I haven't by now. There's still time for January to be the Month of Throwing Stuff Out.
Played a little bit of Quake 1
It's a good game. Looks pretty nice with the Ironwail engine. I wanted to try the fancy raytracing mod that someone made a while ago, but it just hard crashed.
Finished Children of Time and started Titus Groan
Maybe Children of Time was last week? Either way, I really liked it, and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel after another book or two. I picked Titus Groan as a fantasy palate cleanser, and it's also quite enjoyable so far. Some very funny dialogue.
Still kept Drawaboxing
I only drew one box on each of three days this week, but I never completely missed a day. I've now run two pens out of ink and made a real pile of filled pages, which I'm happy about. I'm probably mainly going to be doing digital art outside of Drawabox, but I like the idea of filled sketchbooks.
Redesigned my website
You probably already noticed. I want to also add some subtle background animations and blog comments, but those didn't make it in this week. At some point.
