Week 35 – 2025

August 31, 2025Posted inWeekly UpdatesNo Comments
27-08-2025 I'm back on it. I've been spinning my wheels for too long. Summer holidays have not helped, as Jake and I have been going out and doing things rather than staying in and writing/working on projects. That project I mentioned the other week never happened because of this - just not enough time to do things before I had…

Week 31 – 2025

04-08-2025 And we're back. We've just had a nice little holiday in Torquay - batteries are refreshed and I'm raring to get going on the projects again. I'm still ironing out the elemental system that's going to exist across all my games, but I would really like to get something tangible and playable out there soon. Also, I've updated the…

07-07-2025 I feel very validated in my decision to go with the Waypoint community plugin on Obsidian - I loved the idea of indexes, but did not like the idea of maintaining them. Waypoint takes care of all of that, and it keeps the graph view organised as well. I like having clusters of related things coming off of clusters…

Week 27 – 2025

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

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

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

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…
