What I was up to

An overview of stuff I was working on or other stuff that kept me occupied in July 2019. Inspired by the movement of /now pages.

Projects

Work wise, I’m mostly working on the usual combination of small improvements and fixing bugs, but we’re also preparing the app for upcoming changes to european payment regulations. Some nicer changes will come after that.

I’ve picked up a new side project: For a while, I’ve been interested in the work of James Ryan and the simulation of a virtual town that’s part of some of his work. It simulates virtual inhabitants and their personalities, jobs, rivalries, relationships, and uses that to develop the town over time. I have grown quite an interest in these type of generative mechanics, so I’ve been experimenting with creating a similar thing for fun.

Things I liked a lot recently:

Without elaborating too much, here’s a small list of shows and other entertainment I’ve been enjoying recently:

  • ☀️ Spring in Hastings!
  • 📺 Summer Camp Island (very nice, it’s by some Adventure Time alumni)
  • 📺 Tuca & Bertie
  • 📺 Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 6/li>
  • 📺 Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 6
  • 📺 Good Omens
  • 🕹 Divinity: Original Sin 2
  • 🕹 Borderlands

Perhaps I should read a book again 😕
