Cav's Place

This is only the third personal post on a Sunday this year, and in fact only the second actual Sunday update thrown here as the last method of having two posts during the week, since the other one was the post about planting trees, which can’t normally be considered a Sunday update, right? Interestingly though, the one that obviously was a Sunday update was also written while I was reading a large book, which that time was A Dance with Dragons and now is Blessings of a Curse. It’s also harder this time, since I’m reading on the computer, and the way it’s written and its purpose are quite different.
Should be the last time I’m in this situation this year though, since there are three Sundays left until the end of the year and, if I go with the rule of one personal and one non-personal post per week, I’ll have the review for this book, which at this point I’m starting to fear will need to be a full one, even if on the short side for what a full review usually means for me, since there’s no way I’ll be able to squeeze my comments in the 300 or at the very most 350 words that are the limit for what I consider to be the usual quick one, then I also want to read another book this month and there will be the quick review for that one as well, and then I should definitely find a way to add another New Finds post somehow.

Was considering throwing something I posted on a forum recently as a post here, but I’m talking about the list of games I played out of that image of the List of Worthwhile DOS Games which I saw added there after having actually saved it when I had stumbled into it somewhere else at some earlier point, and the comments I made in that forum post wouldn’t really be fit for a blog post, plus that I didn’t just select the games I actually played, but also added those I’m uncertain about and some that are simply in series from which I played games, though I didn’t play the listed games themselves.
In order to make that suitable for a blog post, I’d have needed to take it apart, connect the games I’m sure of with my Games Played page, set aside those I’m uncertain about and see how to best approach them, and then decide what to do about those I had only added in the forum post due to having played others from the series. And I also wanted to add links for those that can be obtained or at least played in a browser for free and those that have free remakes, either completed or currently being worked on. And since I’m writing this at 11:30 PM, there was no way there was time for even a small part of that. Doubt I’ll do it by the end of the year either, or ever for that matter.

And now it’s less than 30 minutes before midnight and I really should post this quickly, but before I do, want to mention that I recently noticed my site now works with HTTPS as well. Apparently the change happened over two weeks ago and I asked my host about it to be sure, so if so far it was apparently forbidden to even try that unless you applied for an additional service, now it’s available to everybody. Will need to change a few things though, since there are some full URLs used and at the moment that obviously results in mixed content warnings. Hoping I’ll get around to it next week.
