I can go out now. In those rare days with good weather here I can
|
||||
take pictures like this.

# TVSHows/Movies
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mandalorian** (ongoing)
|
||||
|
||||
I say ongoing, but I think I have not watched it this month... the thing
|
||||
is that I still have to finish it.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Rick and Morty** (ongoing)
|
||||
|
||||
Of course I'm up to date, don't be _rickdiculous_.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Once upon a time** (ongoing)
|
||||
|
||||
To kill time during lunch/dinner because my Player 2 likes it. Pretty
|
||||
boring though. Only the first season is "good" in some way because the
|
||||
premise is interesting, after that it all goes to _shirt_.
|
||||

||||
# Manwha
|
||||
|
||||
Same as [last month](/blog/2020/05/01/april/).
|
||||
|
||||
- [**DICE**](https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/dice/list?title_no=64&page=1) (ongoing)
|
||||
|
||||
- [**The Gamer**](https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/the-gamer/list?title_no=88) (ongoing)
|
||||
|
||||
And I have the urge to read _One Piece_ but don't know from where
|
||||
(legally) withouth investing a lot in physical copies...
|
||||
|
||||
# Projects
|
||||
|
||||
Little progress on code this month, just making some tests and
|
||||
concepts (because _Memories_ required front-end work and I forgot
|
||||
almost everything I knew about CSS).
|
||||
|
||||
Spent some time reworking my local infra from scratch. All the
|
||||
services I had running were done with poorly manual labor and now I'm
|
||||
working on provisioning everything using Ansible. I have to do the same
|
||||
for my computers since I'm planning the new dotfiles from scratch too.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Jeeves**
|
||||
|
||||
Very little progress, just added a few tasks and so, the example here
|
||||
is not working because docker is broken on my machine at the time of
|
||||
writing, but it should work. Promise.
|
||||
|
||||
My problem with this is that until it has a proper server to trigger
|
||||
tasks via webhooks, crons or other methods is just a lightweight
|
||||
(and worst) Ansible _wannabe_.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
- **Butterrobot**
|
||||
|
||||
Spent some time refactoring code and thinking on what to use for
|
||||
a simple admin interface to setup new features for the bots, enable or
|
||||
disable plugins and all that.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- **Memories** (previously _Unnamed photo viewer_)
|
||||
|
||||
Worked on reading the files from the filesystem and extracting the
|
||||
mininmum required metadata for me to save on the database (to have
|
||||
some search/filters going on). Also got some ideas depending on how the
|
||||
files are stored (use folder names as "tags" to search for example).
|
||||
|
||||
Also played around with thumbnails, which are tricky to do depending on
|
||||
the file, and I have a lot of variety (from standard JPEG to HEIC going
|
||||
through 360 videos, etc.). I also noticed that I have a lot of files
|
||||
with wrong metadata, which does **not** help at all with my testing.
|
||||
|
||||
Well, I have a simple frontend now, but everything is a very work in
|
||||
progress (and those menu links are just dummy navigation).
|
||||
|
||||
I need to focus on implement a proper backend and decide on the main
|
||||
features to implement in the first release, which should come with a
|
||||
simple frontend and API for people to create their own.

# Videogames
|
||||
- [**Animal Crossing: New Horizons**](https://animal-crossing.com/new-horizons)
|
||||
|
||||
Just a daily routine trying to complete the monthly _citteropedia_.
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Final Fantasy VII: Remake**](https://store.playstation.com/es-es/product/EP0082-CUSA07187_00-FFVIIREMAKE00000)
|
||||
|
||||
I think I'm almost through the end, just finishing up some side quests
|
||||
prior to the final chapters. I'm having lots of fun, probably
|
||||
because the slow pace so I don't finish it in just a few days.
|
||||
|
||||
I can't describe how awesome the soundtrack is, specially with the
|
||||
nostalgia effect from the original.
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Terraria**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/105600/Terraria/)
|
||||
|
||||
The last update for Terraria came out this month and I'm going through
|
||||
the content with a friend trying to go though all the content. Well,
|
||||
not _all_ content, since there is **a lot**. This game is a piece of
|
||||
art, one of those rare gems that I wish I had more time to properly
|
||||
enjoy it.
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Northgard**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/466560/Northgard/)
|
||||
|
||||
This has been on my Steam library for quite some time, and since the
|
||||
Valhalla announcement I had the urge to play something Viking related.
|
||||
Didn't play much (two scenarios I think). Is a fairly nice strategy
|
||||
game but it has enough elements to make it enjoyable for a player like
|
||||
me (because I'm not very good at them).
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Minecraft Dungeons**](https://www.nintendo.es/Juegos/Programas-descargables-Nintendo-Switch/Minecraft-Dungeons-1749059.html):
|
||||
|
||||
Got this for the switch because I wanted to have something to spend a
|
||||
few minutes in and kill some time and couldn't I be more worng.
|
||||
|
||||
My surprise has been the awful load times (2m+ to start playing from
|
||||
the Switch main menu), sub-30 framerates and the awesome chance of the
|
||||
game crashing when putting the console in sleep mode. The game is
|
||||
_fun_ to play from time to time (and I'm sure is way more fun in
|
||||
multiplayer) but the Switch version is just so bad that no one should
|
||||
buy it.
|
||||
|
||||
- Some [**Sea of Thieves**](https://www.seaofthieves.com/) and [**Valorant**](https://beta.playvalorant.com) with friends to keep me close while social distancing, though I'm not sure I would keep playing since rebooting to Windows just to play some games is itching me a lot lately, rather buy what I can play on Linux and purchasing the rest on Switch or PS4 if needed.
