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.

13 days of annual leave to enjoy! Let’s make the most of it.

• Check the weeks weather
• Check the weeks fire danger ratings
• Check my roster for days off and available time
• Plan any potential hiking opportunities
• Plan any potential family activities
• Check all the daily entries from this last week to reflect and journal about.

Got a few things to do this week already. My days off work start on Wednesday and I have 1.5 weeks off to myself to make the most out of!

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

Ok, I think #NightShift is getting to me. Feeling lazier today, that’s for sure! Time for a #coffee pick me up.

I leave you guys tonight with this beautiful music:

Writing last week’s Weekly Recap was more fun than I anticipated!

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!

Alright, I cave in. Just one episode of #Andor to see if it’s for me.

The struggle is real… To watch… or not to watch… #Andor.

Mmmm
