Slowly going back to routine, this month has been well spent going out when possible and spending
|
|
time with friends and family, a thing that we couldn't do properly for some time now. Not much
|
|
"progress" on anything else for that matter.

## Projects
|
|
|
|
Didn't have much time to play around with projects this time, but in simple terms I've managed to
|
|
release the code for [butterrobot](https://github.com/fmartingr/butterrobot) for anyone to see
|
|
and shame my code and prepared the slack application for my team to use. I'll admit that is a bit
|
|
of a pain to play with several repositories at the same time, and github doesn't make this easy on
|
|
itself requiring authentication for the container registry... but well, so far it's working and
|
|
it's good to have room for improvement.
|
|
|
|
I've also received my [Firewalla Gold](https://firewalla.com/) and finally finished tidying up
|
|
my network infrastructure a bit, though it will require a bit more tuning but at least I can now
|
|
focus on what I've been eager to do: setup my home assistant for all the devices and automations
|
|
on my home, yay!

## Books
|
|
|
|
- Started reading [**The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51901147-the-ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes).
|
|
|
|
Prequel to the Hunger Games, seems like a short enough book to get back with my reading habits again.
|
|
|
|
## Games
|
|
|
|
- [**Assemble with care**](https://www.assemblegame.com): Played this on my phone and it was a short but
|
|
wonderful playthrough. It's a story-driven puzzle game, though puzzles are very easy since they are
|
|
secondary. Full voice acting makes this a calm and relaxing experience to do while on the move (or at
|
|
the beach!)
|
|
|
|
- Some more [**Reventure**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/900270/Reventure/)
|
|
|
|
