Man... so fried...
3 years ago
So, I don't want to ONLY post whiny negative posts, so this one will have happy news too....
But... I went to Disney World with a close friend and when I got back, my right leg was inflamed and swollen. Then the OTHER leg starting showing the same symptoms. The doctors said that I'd picked up an infection in Florida (of course) and it was spreading. Fortunately, after two weeks of antibiotics, the swelling has gone down a fair bit, but it hung in there for over six weeks and my right leg is still not quite right.
The two pinched nerves are getting worse and now my right hand (ie: my drawing hand) is having a harder time with control and positioning. Trying exercise to improve what muscle strength is there.
ANNNND.. I got Covid again and this time since it was six months after my booster (glares at the province for not keeping up) it was a bit rougher than last time and hung in for 6 or 7 days. Still a bit foggy because of that. I should be getting my booster next month.
On the positive side, I got a new Asus Rog Flow Z13 tablet - yeesh... i9 12900K CPU, RTX 3500 TI dGPU, 16 GB RAM 1TB SSD, touch and pen (of course, since it's a tablet). My main goal with this is a portable system for my Oculus Quest 2 to run in Rift mode.
Also, last year the AC died on my 12 year old car and three months ago I decided to buy a new one and that should arrive next week. It's got all the latest tech and has Lane Keeping Assist and Radar Cruise Control - it's like one step away from autonomous driving.
I started a new job that's turning out to be frustrating as hell. 20 year old software in a bunch of languages including FORTRAN (hey, at least it's not COBOL or RPG-II, which I also know...), but the way projects are managed is killing me. I hope to retire at the end of the year.
That's about it for now. Still alive, barely. :)

At least I'm not coding in Ada.
Also: Respect for being able to work in RPG-III.
