2020 February
- 2020 Movies update: 7 movies watched in Feb. Probably the best movie I've seen this month was Knives Out. (Jojo Rabbit close second.) The goal of 200 movies for the year is getting farther! As for TV, I think most of my watching time was spent rewatching Rick and Morty for quiz purposes lol. Well, Criminal Minds ended, so there's that. Arrowverse has been meh, though I did enjoy Supergirl's 100th episode. Hm, I guess I haven't actually watched a lot of stuff in the past month. There's a ton of stuff that I've been wanting to watch but haven't
I feel like I already had a super productive week and should just sleep til March
- During recent weeknotes I've mentioned that I've been working on a site redesign. The planned redesign had three objectives, more or less: Rework the navigation links so that new pages like the blogroll etc were more easily accessible. Make the homepage less messy and highlight blog posts more. The previous "stream of everything" home page mixed the blog posts in with everything else like the notes, and photos and links. General redesign to improve the layout etc. I had already done most of #1 and #2 (easy), but during the past few days, I found it difficult to decide on

@paulnotpaulie thanks for the feedback! I'll probably be adding you to the blogroll in an update as well, soonish

- I used to host my tumblr blog on a custom domain at tumblr.roytang.net. That was working fine for a while. Then recently I decided to play around with having Cloudflare in front of my site (might be helpful on the off-chance I ever manage to go viral somehow). Not yet sure whether Cloudflare was a good idea, but apparently it doesn't play well with Tumblr's custom domains, so the above custom tumblr URL got turned off. Now, I don't actually care about the tumblr blog anymore and have no intention of updating it further. All the content from that blog
- What Am I Doing Now?
Summary:
- I'm kind of in-between things at the moment, so I'm exploring various personal projects and things I'd like to be doing.
- Work/employment is not a priority.
Current Location:
- still living in Quezon City, Philippines.
Work
- I still work part-time as a software developer/technical lead/system architect consultant, with the emphasis on part-time.
- No specific clients I care to mention, though it's easy to find out if you dig around a bit.
- I am very picky with taking on new work, and I usually have very few hours I'm willing to dedicate to any one client, and will usually prefer interesting work. I don't consider work nor full-time employment to be an important part of my identity and it is definitely not a priority.
- Nonetheless, if you have a work opportunity you feel I might like, feel free to contact me, maybe we'll get lucky.
How am I spending my time
- I'm working on multiple personal projects, most of which I don't want to talk about. The only public one is this website/blog. I write as often as I can and am constantly trying to update this site to make it better or more to my liking.
- I try not to go out and about Metro Manila too much, as I hate the traffic, but if you are an old friend I haven't seen in a while, feel free to ping me
- I still do a lot of gaming
- I watch a lot of TV and movies
- I still do quiz nights, a few times a month
- 🔁 Repost from Robbotron:
- I watched a little bit of the Senate hearing yesterday on the ABS-CBN franchise renewal issues. One of the senators, a known lackey of the president claimed that while the president was not vindictive, "kung masama ka sa kanya, masama din sya sa yo" (I'm not sure the senator understood what vindictive means). One of the ABS head honchos later made a statement that they were "sorry if they had offended the president" even though they were just following all the relevant laws, or something to that effect. I cringed. Why do they need to apologize to an onion-skinned politician

@Westraid you are playing as a very polite hitman

When I see the Senate hearings on the #ABSCBNShutdown, I see so much time, energy, and resources being wasted because of the president's petty vindictiveness.
We deserve a leader that's concerned about how we can lift our nation up - not about how he can pull his enemies down.
