Week 25 – 2025

By Iain June 22, 2025Weekly 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…

Week 24 – 2025

By Iain June 15, 2025Weekly UpdatesNo Comments

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

By Iain June 10, 2025Weekly 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

By Iain March 27, 2025ReflectionsNo 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

By Iain March 10, 2025ReflectionsNo 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…

James Drysdale Stewart

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…

David “melatonin” Watson

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.

By Iain July 16, 2024Reflections, Site Related, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

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…

The Braking Point story mode in the F1 2023 videogame

By Iain June 15, 2024VideogamesNo Comments

I may be a year late with this, seeing as F1 24 has just come out, but the story mode in F1 23 is just awful. I think it fails in two key aspects. The first aspect is the characters. The story is based around a fictional Formula 1 team and some of their top personnel: the two drivers, the…

The Tomorrow War

By Iain December 24, 2023Films/TVNo Comments

So it's been a while since I've watched a movie, but I've got a bit of time over the festive period and I had a hankering for some long form entertainment, so I thought I'd see what was about. I was going to watch Dune, but it was a bit too long for the time I had, so I settled…
