(2024-08-05) Random (vacational) thoughts ----------------------------------------- Well, I'm back. Kinda. Recently, I've been extremely tired, and continue to be even when my vacation started in the middle of the previous week. The good news are that, firstly, my solar panel setup is making a good progress recently, secondly, I got all my retro gaming stuff back, including, but not limited to, a modded GBA with an EZFlash Omega flashcart. So, I'm also arranging my romsets to fit it. If you're wondering how my titanium Certina DS Action Diver has been doing, it's still my daily driver for now, having gained about +12 seconds per previous month but now settling on a faster side of things, closer to +1 spd. Still not as critical but I liked the previous indication much better. Besides, I'm planning on getting one more watch just for the design sake of it: alas, it won't be a titanium one but everything else will be just as nice, and its movement will be regulatable unlike this one. The PMD56, however, is still my favorite no matter what and I still rotate it sometimes with this Certina. As for the recent Kaspa price drop (along with the rest of the crypto market), I remain fully calm. For me, it's just another opportunity to buy more for less. I haven't given up my plans to accumulate at least 100-120k KAS and see what happens next. I'm also looking for some higher-level Python API to create an easy to use CLI wallet for Kaspa similar to the one I created for Tron. In the long term period, I see Monero and Kaspa as the only two networks worth doing anything on or with right now. Overall, I hope this 2-month vacation will allow me to regain some strength and return to my creative path. Conserving mental health is very important in this crazy world. That's why we all need to rest sometimes. --- Luxferre ---
