Back to Sunday Updates
After almost making it a rule for a long time, I ended up not writing personal posts on Sunday for the past three weeks. Unfortunately, the reason for that wasn’t that I managed to write two non-personal posts per week and therefore such updates became unnecessary, but quite the contrary, that I couldn’t get myself to write much of anything until most of the week was gone, so had to put a personal post in earlier and then somehow try to push myself into writing something else over the weekend. So, while this return to the usual pattern isn’t a good thing, it’s at least somewhat less bad than that.
But this will be short and to the point, because I plan to watch a lot of handball today, to see what our opponents are doing now that our girls defeated Spain to hold on to their chance of reaching the semifinals. On top of that, I seem to have somehow managed to get back to submitting ranks on MobyGames and have been doing a lot of that this week, so I may actually have a chance to reach the goal I had set for myself at the start of the year. It will require maintaining this rhythm almost all the way to the end of the month though, so it doesn’t look particularly likely, but that’s one more reason to push as hard as I can now that I seem to be set on it.
That actually means that I put the games I bought aside as well, even though I started both Divinity II and Beyond Divinity and decided to try to play the latter first, despite originally meaning to just ignore it, based on what I knew about it. There will be time for these, for Fate of the World and for any others I’ll decide to start or return to, but the year is ending, so there is no more time to lose if I am to still have a chance to get all those submissions in.
Last but not least, my new ISP seems to be doing well enough so far, despite being so much smaller than the one I had before. I expected them to crumble under the traffic generated by all the new customers at first, and there was one moment when it was very slow when most people would have been on-line and doing the same thing I was, but it managed to recover even then and I didn’t experience other issues, so let’s hope they won’t just hold, but also use all this additional income to improve their infrastructure and be able to offer even better services in the future.
