Summer is here!
|
|
|
|
Even without restrictions or quarantine is has been a weird month. Cases here are going up and down,
|
|
I don't want to go back to the gym (and I think I won't until next year), some restaurants and cafe
|
|
have closed permanently and the ones that are still standing are usually full (which is good). We're
|
|
just trying to go back to normal, step by step, and having some friends stay at home a few days
|
|
helped a lot.

This month I have focused on getting more organized. As I said [last month](/blog/2020/06/02/june/)
|
|
I badly needed it.
|
|
|
|
I have managed to move almost everything into my [notion.so](https://notion.so/) workspace.
|
|
I had some boards and notes here and there but Notion is so powerful and comfortable to use that I
|
|
just went all in. There's some cleanup to do, but my main points of interes are already there. I have
|
|
a board with my personal tasks and some metadata about them, and secondary boards for my hobbies
|
|
(Games, Books, TVShows, etc), Blog related posts, ... I may go into more detail in the future.

Related to this I'm also starting to cleanup every last drawer at home. I got a bit tired of not
|
|
knowing how much stuff I have so I'm making a full inventory of _everything_. It all started
|
|
reviewing how many of my clothers would still fit me after quarantine, and it snapped on me. I
|
|
don't know how much I own, and I think it happens to all of us at different levels.
|
|
|
|
With tech this is gonna be very difficult, I have managed to stash a lot (**a lot**) of cables
|
|
during the years. Just imagine how many HDMI and USB cables the average tech guy can get a hold
|
|
of... Arduinos, Raspberries... etc.
|
|
|
|
This will take time, but I'm very happy with the progress I already had and all the things I've
|
|
already donated or sold.

|
## Projects
|
|
|
|
- My **local infra** is mostly done at this point. I just need to secure everything a bit more
|
|
but has been working fine (with some hiccups) for the past months. I may need to check some
|
|
networking alternatives and move all SSL negotiation to the main node (avoiding re-encrypting
|
|
traffic on a non-controlled node).
|
|
|
|
- **Butterrobot** got some love this month. I'm _slowly_ setting up an automated CI/CD system to
|
|
deploy the application in my local infra, but I need to setup some other details as well. Source
|
|
code is already on Github though repository is private while I made last minute changes. I'm
|
|
hoping to release it this month.
|
|
|
|
- I'm also cleaning up my **Home Assistant** node. What that really means that I'm re-deploying a
|
|
new instance on a more powerful Raspberry Pi. I have been playing with this software for years
|
|
and my current pi is a bit underpowered and messy, so the plan is start from scratch trying to
|
|
make the connected devices local trying to avoid third-party clouds as much as possible and
|
|
document everything in some blog posts. Let see how that goes.
|
|
|
|
## TV Shows
|
|
|
|
I watched something!
|
|
|
|
- **M.A.R.V.E.L.s Agents of Shield**
|
|
|
|
Some chapters of the last season. This may be the worst season so far...? (At least the few I saw)
|
|
|
|
- **The 100**
|
|
|
|
Up to date with this one, without much focus because some interdimensional time thingy is not very
|
|
appealing to me, just want to know how it all ends. If it doesn't end this season, I'm done with it.
|
|
|
|
- **Sword Art Online (Aincrad saga only)**
|
|
|
|
Rewatched this one (a friend's fault) as series to have while cooking and doing chores. A bit complex
|
|
to read subtitles the same time you do other things, but since this is a re-watch... Now looking for
|
|
some other series with the same "protagonist sent to fantasy world" genre.
|
|
|
|
## Games
|
|
|
|
- [**Final Fantasy VII: Remake**](https://store.playstation.com/es-es/product/EP0082-CUSA07187_00-FFVIIREMAKE00000)
|
|
|
|
I have gone through a bit more of the story, trying to enjoy the story till the end. And wait
|
|
another five years for the next chapter...?
|
|
|
|
- [**Reventure**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/900270/Reventure/)
|
|
|
|
Quick play sessions are quick. Oh my god this game has soooo many endings...
|
|
|
|
- [**Carrion**](https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/carrion)
|
|
|
|
This has been on my radar for quite some time. It's a shame is so short! Finished in a few hours, but that didn't mean
|
|
is not great, because it is. Being the monster trapped wanted to go out instead of the _"Hero"_ killing monsters is
|
|
a really appreciated change of perspective. The mechanics were amazing and the graphics gorgeous, it was very fun while it
|
|
lasted.
|
|
|
|
- [**Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/469610/Rick_and_Morty_Virtual_Rickality/)
|
|
|
|
I got time to play some VR, and I had this in the backlog for quite some time. I love Rick and Morty and this was
|
|
a short and fun puzzle adventure, just what I expected. I could get on with the optional stuff but I just have too much
|
|
on backlog!
