Week Notes 2025-15

📓 Notes

With the end of the financial year we had our performance reviews, and I did better than I did last year. So I got given my yearly bonus, and with it I bought a Blu-ray drive for the new computer. Which means I can finally start "backing-up" my Blu-ray films. Although the higher quality does result in a significantly larger file size I think it is worth it. Though I may have to look into getting some higher capacity drives for the server.

I did have a slight panic attack this week. When I went looking for the code for all the games I've written and couldn't find any of it, to say I was a little upset is an understatement. I was beside myself upset, I think at one point I very nearly had an emotion. But everything was OK once I found a back-up in a place it shouldn't have been.

So now I have about five or six copies on a few different devices, until I can get it all properly backed up to the Gitea server.

With that in mind the reason I was looking for the code in the first place was so I could update all the code and get fresh versions to host on my site and maybe even get back into written games again.

🎞️ Films

Managed to watch more of the X-men series before I got bored

• The Wolverine (2013)
• X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
• X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

In other films I watched Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie (2023) because I saw that it was finally available and it's been a while since we finished the series. Paddington in Peru (2024) came on sky cinema as did Transformers One (2024) both were as fun as I expected. But I was surprised to see that Antonio Banderas is starting to looking old 🧓

📺 TV

The wife saw a trailer for The Bondsman (2025) and sent me the link, good to watch, we binged it in a few days. Definitely looking forward to season 2.

It's that time of year again where we get the The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer (2018)

🎧 Music

After last weeks disappointment I haven't really been listening to anything this week 😞

OK, this is the last time I'm going to back date a week notes until, next week, Stay Lucky.
