This Update: January 15, 2025Watching on TV#
Really looking forward to the new series of both The Last of Us and Severence.
Listening to#
- Jungle
- Bon Iver
- Parcels
To be fair I’m mainly just listening to Jungle all day with a bit of Bon Iver at night. We saw Jungle at Glastonbury last year but we were right at the back at the West Holts stage. I’m hoping they’re there again this year, fingers crossed.
The band were on a NYE show in the states and this rendition of Back on 74 is just perfect.
House#
- We really could do with redecorating the bathroom. Lisa is due to travel abroad for a convention next month so I think I’ll do that while she’s away — possibly.
- I’m planning on putting some LED lights up in the corridor that leads to my cellar office. There is a light at the bottom of the stairs but it’s rubbish. Some LED lighting will give the place some tacky bling.
Rugby#
The 2025 season is almost here. My hometown club of Oldham are about to spend their first year in the Championship after promotion last year. I’ve totally spit out the dummy as far as “volunteering” is concerned. They took the piss so fuck ’em.
The Leeds Rhinos season kicks off in earnest in a month’s time. I shall be watching my RL at Headingley.
Self Hosting#
Things I’ve started hosting on my Tailscale network this month:
- Blinko — A note taking app on steroids
- Hoarder — A bookmarking app with AI tagging. I’m moving to it from LinkDing
- Miniflux — A web based RSS reader.
Walking#
After walking 2022 miles in 2022 I continued in 2023. In July of that year I injured my left knee which put me out of walkng action for the rest of the year. I tried to resume in 2024 but I never really committed to it.
So, sort of a NY resolution but not that really, I’m trying for 1500 miles in the 350 days that remain in 2025 (as of January 16).
1500 miles is the distance in a straight line to beautiful Kefalonia from our house, give or take. So I’m virtually walking there.
