  • Wonderful. Back into #LiveStreaming for #SLColonies after 7 months of feeling burned out. Check out the stream here and let me know what you think! It’s for our #IndieGame we’ve been working on for years.

  • Pretty busy morning. Made new artwork for #SLColonies products we launched to our community and had to move everything from Adobe Photoshop to #GIMP. I’ll be doing a Live Stream tomorrow as well for the community at www.youtube.com/watch about upcoming products.

  • Been playing around with an old template from #Photoshop and converting it all to work with #GIMP since I have ditched #Adobe. There’s a few slight differences, but you can accomplish a lot of what’s desired using different techniques. Like clipping masks.

  • Had a productive day on my first day off. Got all my tasks ticked off, now I just need to keep that up!

    Did some work on OBS and preparing the computer to live stream for #SLColonies. I think I have everything setup as I want it.

  • Weekly Recap - Week 21

    Featured Image for 2025
    I feel like I had a pretty unproductive week. And I do my best to blame the fact that I was on for the week at work, but really, as much as I can whine and carry on that I was a little tired, looking back, I could have pushed forward and at least ticked off my tasks instead of sit at the computer screen not really doing much. read more

  • Went and purchased a SAMSUNG 990 EVO SSD 2TB M.2 chip for photo and video editing to replace my 512gig SSD. I saw they have ones as fast as 15,000MB/s now days on PCIe 5.0. Darn, I need a new motherboard for that. Mine is still PCIe 3.0. Few more items going on my list of upgrades then!

    • Night Shift Week

    Done and dusted with #NightShift this week! Back to normal 2 days of work and then just over a week off. Time to catch up on my #SelfCare, do some #Hiking and have some fun!

  • One more day to go of #NightShift! Having a coffee now that I am home. So, other than that… I’ve been thinking about the #camera I wish to purchase. And have decided to go with an #Sony #A7RV instead of the #A6700. $2k price difference, but I don’t think I will regret it long-term.

  • I don’t know why I didn’t move to more expensive milk and organic milks until now. So much more creamy and tastier. Way more wholesome too. #WholeFoods

  • The Weekly Recap - Week 20

    Featured Image for 2025
    Again, I started the week off strong with my task list, but, as seems to have been the pattern prior, for the rest of the week, I didn't tick off **ANY** of my tasks. I can't seem to break this cycle, and I really need to mentally try harder to get this part of my life under control and routine to meet the goals I wish.

    But, I still had a fun week!

  • Night 2 of #NightShift done. Still feeling alright. Though, needing a #coffee this morning to get me to around lunch time, which is when I plan on sleeping.

  • Well, that’s the first night of 7 of #NightShift done. Not feeling too bad after the first one yet. Staying up all of the previous night playing #SeaOfThieves was probably a positive contributor to getting that body clock routine started.

  • Getting ready for #NightShift once again. We really need to work on our recruitment in this department. Really dislike the #3rdShift, plays a toll on me mentally :D Let the youngins who like it for the money do it.

  • I worked on more #VibeCoding for my blog at samuellison.com and it seems to be working as I want. Mentions and hashtags link automatically. Posts with featured images work as expected. Posts with some markdown like codeblocks display in my blog list as expected. Yay!
