Oh no, my woman went home. That's certainly turned this Saturday into a sadder day. She'll be back in a little over a week for my birthday, so I'm glad for that. I think the kitties noticed because first Willow popped up, and then Athena popped up a second later and both gave me head bonks.

Had fox brains, pork ear salad, and fried stringy pvc sticks for dinner. Something I ate didn't agree with me though, so I don't think I'll be repeating that one. Oh god.

Last year I announced gamedeck, my upcoming card / dice game platform.
I have an exciting update. I recently got a new client running on mobile, so I can officially tell you all that development resumes and we have mobile versions of the client in production! I've been able to play a couple of games on my iPhone without many issues. You can read more about this game at https://ims-productions.com/gamedeck

Welcome to day 9 of being in the apartment. Today I think I will venture out of hybernation and actually go somewhere. I'm finally feeling normal again aside from a bit of a runny nose and very occasional cough, but if I waited for that to completely disappear, it'd be several more days haha.

Dude, whatever cold/flu thing that's been going around at work is annoying and honestly pretty brutal and stubborn. I should know better than to, say, start back up on my biking routine when everyone at work is getting sick one after the other. Murphy's Law combined with how contagious this clearly is guarantees I will get it. Needless to say I haven't worked or biked all week. Haha.

I decided to adjust my cat feeder this morning. It's not accessible, there's no app, but I figured, hell, it's lasted 3 years without failing. No sense getting rid of it. So I called Be My Eyes to do it and somehow, out of all the agents I could've gotten, I got someone who herself had that exact brand and model of feeder. So it was basically like talking to an experienced tech support rep where not only could they read the screen, they described what the buttons did and how it works. Now I know we've got time set though my confidence is kind of low about this one, lock, up, down, set, and test. The set button lets you configure the servings. I don't know how to change the recording, but I don't really care to either. Maybe I could do it myself with seeing AI next time. I'll try that if I need to make adjustments again. Lol I just couldn't believe my luck.

So now they're saying it could get up to 93 next week. Even having lived in Texas most of my life and then here for over 3 years, that's... crazy. Some people are going to be shoveling snow next Wednesday and Thursday, I could realistically go swimming.
