The cycle is the same:

1) Watch a bunch of #AGDQ2023
2) Think about running one of my favourite #snes games
3) Realize I would probably rather rack the ROM than just speedrun it
4) Start thinking about #gamedev
5) Start down the road of a new side project that involves learning something related to #videogames

Maybe I can channel this energy this time into something interesting, rather than beating myself up over starting and shelving another side project.

When you hit a technical snag, document the solution. This is my flavour of documentation:

Docker Build Hangs When Adding Key with apt-key in WSL2

The solution to the problem where an apt-key command seems to run forever in your docker build.

A new blog post! About blogging!

🔗 Blogging is alive and well: https://cdevroe.com/2023/01/11/blogging-is-alive

Blogging never died, it just moved onto platforms and off of the web. But we are seeing a resurgence! In this post I cover some of that and why I think it is happening.

After 4 years in the JavaScript on Azure Advocacy team at Microsoft, it's time for something new.

I'm joining the .NET on Azure Advocacy team at Microsoft! 🎉
Time to get back to my .NET roots and look at how to make Azure even better for .NET developers.

I am going to leave this here, courtesy of #dalle, myself, and my need for thumbnail art for my blog posts.

Fun fact: the best part about #aiart is writing the alt text.

#AGDQ2023 has started! If you are not aware, this is a week long Twitch stream where the #speedrunning community comes together to break games and raise buckets of money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

I recommend checking out the schedule, tuning in, and donating if you can. Great community and great cause!

Last night I played Citizen Sleeper on #xbox. But I did it on the couch on the #SteamDeck while my SO played her game on the big screen.

Just as I was hitting a conclusion of a quest, my battery hit 3%. So, put the deck aside and finished up the session on my phone.

There is something to this #cloudgaming y'all.

Ooo...so #caturday is a thing where we celebrate #catsofmastodon eh? Count me in.

Happy 2023 and Welcome to Ludum Dare 52!

After a week of using #windows11 I have finally found some features thatI think make it better than #windows10.

Still unsure what makes it so special, but I appreciate the aesthetics, #winget, the updated #terminal, and the WSLg stuff.

However, I don't understand the cost considering the variety of free #linux flavours out there.

Anyone wanna share the secret "killer feature" in Windows 11 that I am missing?
