📓 Notes

Another week some more notes. I've been spending more time code reviewing my old XNA Toolkit. Some of it, is what one of my managers would call naive, which I can see now with 12 years distance.

  I thought it was very silly, just my sort of thing.🤪

📺 TV

• Alien: Earth (2025) Series 1
  Finally finished, and it was meh, The look and feel was spot on. World building was great. The story was ok I suppose. I hope season 2 is better.🤷
• The 100 (2014) Series 4
  I'm on the back half of the season, where it starts to drag, so they can rush the resolution in the final episode.
• Taskmaster (2015) Series 20
  It still makes me so happy.😆
• Great British Bake off (2010) Series 16
  Nobody is a standout winner yet, it may end up being a slow contest.
• Have I Got News For You (1990) Series 67, Series 68 & Series 69
  I felt like watching people taking the piss out of the elected officials of my own country for a change.

I'm planning and plotting to Stay Lucky.
