I used to make video game and tech content as a day job, from 2007 to 2020. Now I do QGIS stuff, Ignition SCADA things and water loss reduction shenanigans. I also write books that aren't very good. And I'm trying to make a game about a duck. Also, I run.

I've been goofing off at work making a learner game before the duck one. After fiddling with a YAML plugin for Godot, I realized that I can just have the engine on my work computer somewhere and edit events in code.
Behold, the first screenshot of a game that'll be 3$ in a few months in itch.io.

Got a pair of new running shoes. Managed to set a new 5k personal best.
The shoes are just 50g lighter than the previous ones, but the difference is gigantic.

A, wonderful news, let's see how people are reacting to it...
Ah, yes, it seems that Steam has ruined people's brains.

I often wonder why I bother to show up to work early or on time when no one else seems that interested.

In 2023 I managed to run 99km in a year. That's when I took part in the first 4k run at the Braila half-marathon.
This month alone I have covered 100km and ran my first half-marathon distance.
I'm still not fast, but I a really far away.

Take your time. I'm not going anywhere this year.

More than that, my HR dropped an entire zone lower. Now, provided the sensor didn't go crazy... and.. well, the sensor on the old watch wasn't super either, but, I can feel it.
I've gotten to the point where I can run well. I mean, I'm not fast, can't do 6m/km for more than 1.5k, but it's progress.

When I started to really get into running, in 2023, I did my first 5K at about the same pace. Looking over the stats, I added a lot of Tempo.

Ran a half-marathon distance for the first time ever. Took 2:58:12. It didn't feel easy, but I had an average pace of around 8:27 (strava says 8:17 because it stopped counting when I was refilling water bottles and so didn't record the entire 3 hours, losing me that challenge trophy this month).

How in the 12 endless hells is the Windows 10 weather widget weigh over 600mb?
How is it incapable of fitting onto a CD?

What can be in it?
How do you get to this level?
Does it locally hosts all the ads they've shoved into it?

Got an e-mail earlier today, at work, with a popup that I'm glad no one saw.

1:15:14 finish time, plus the 3 minutes it took to get to the starting line. Not by best time, but enough to finish the 10k race at the OMV Bucharest half Marathon event.

Survived. Made a 1:10:07 new 10K PB. I was hoping for under 1:10:00, but I goofed.
