Week 27 – 2025

July 9, 2025Posted inSite RelatedNo Comments
01-07-2025 I brought over a very healthy amount of notes from the GameDev section of OneNote today - I also took the opportunity to condense some of them and split others off into their own notes. Some of the ideas were no longer relevant so they were pruned, while some felt crowded in by being part of a generic note…

Week 26 – 2025

July 1, 2025Posted inWeekly UpdatesNo Comments
23-06-2025 One thing that bringing all my personal checklists, To-do lists and ideas over to Obsidian has made me realise is that I want to do so much, and only ever seem to get around to doing pretty much none of it... 24-06-2025 Five distinct areas have now emerged whilst bringing everything together. Before, my notes and ideas were spread…

Week 25 – 2025

June 22, 2025Posted inWeekly UpdatesNo Comments
16-06-2025 I'm struggling with working out how to structure files and folders - I'm still torn between using tags and folders because I like folders, I like things being organised, but on the other hand, tags keep things together and makes related things easier to find. Just one tap of a tag and I can see everything that has the…

09-06-2025 I took the weekend off of from thinking about moving over to Obsidian, and I think it helped. I slept a lot, and I've come back with back with fresh thinking. I'm working on organisation, and keeping connected things connected. 10-06-2025 Today I wrote my weekly progress post on my blog, but I'm wondering if it would be better…

Week 23 – 2025

June 10, 2025Posted inWeekly UpdatesNo Comments
In an effort to chronicle my progress in the various avenues of my life, I have started using Obsidian in an effort to organise my thoughts and design processes. One of the features is a daily note system, in which I just jot down a few notes of what I've been doing that day and at the end of week…

Further thoughts on my father’s passing

March 27, 2025Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
So, my Dad died. As I said in the other post, we weren't close by any stretch of the imagination, the last time I saw him in person was in maybe 1997 or 1998 when I was in my early twenties, the last time I spoke to him on the phone was in 2019 on Jake's birthday (I didn't actually…

Rest in Peace, Misty

March 10, 2025Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
In what is becoming somewhat of a pattern in 2025, there's been another death in my life. This time it was our beloved cat, Misty. He had developed a problem with his lymph nodes, and a course of treatment was way out of our budget. And it wasn't even guaranteed to work. So we made the hard decision to have…

So, on the 14th of February, I received the news that my father had passed away. Now, before I start, please be aware that although he was my father, we were not close. He left our family when my brother and I were very young, and while we did go and stay with him and his new wife for a…

Or lewismistreated, however you knew him. I don't really know how to say this. Well, he took his own life recently. Karl (Lost and Found) broke the news on the 15th of January 2025 in a group chat on Facebook that I originally set up to let everyone know that the Random Fury! forums were closing, back in 2018. I…

Direction decided. A fresh start.

With reference to this post: https://iaindstewart.net/blog/2023/11/03/starting-again/ This is another one of those natural break points in my life where everything seems to be changing or shifting - this time it's not me waking up after a long period of apathy or feeling aimless, but I feel like things are going in the right direction this time. Lots of things are…
