psipsySixth covid shot acquired. This time I also opted for the flu shot. Normally I don't. This time, I decided to get it. Call it a vibe. I spent the weekend with my shoulder twice as sore, because it was poked by two needles instead of one. Maybe I'll stagger them in the future.
I thought about going somewhere while I was off from work for a week. Didn't happen. I can feel bad weather in my knees and there was enough of that. So, instead I stayed home and watched anime. I got caught up on Atri: Dear Moments, and I also dug into the archives and watched Kokoro Library, from 2001. It's about 3 sisters who run a small library in the middle of nowhere, except there's nothing small about the library. It would be more appropriate for a large city or college campus.
The new season is warming up. I watched the remake of Ranma to see how that holds up. Another show: Punirunes season 2. While that's strictly a kid's show, I ended up enjoying it more than I thought. Nanahira does the ending theme, which is a bonus.
More Raspberry Pi parts and bits arrived. I have an idea that involves a small display and big sound. I think it'll be cool, if I can make it work. I can get the audio part working but the small display doesn't want to talk to the Pi.
I'm also lining up parts ahead of time for when my 2nd ipod's hard drive dies, as they eventually do someday. I already have the mSATA adapter and a 1TB drive for it but the power consumption on those is too much for a device that has a battery the size of a USB thumb drive, so I'm going with the SD card adapter instead. The SD cards and adapter use about 1/4 of the power of the SSD, at a penalty of half the speed. For something that's going to be used to play music, that's fine.
AUSA came and went. I went for the day as I usually do. Each time I go, there are fewer and fewer people I know there. Once upon a time, it seemed like I knew everyone there. Someday I'll be nothing more than a total stranger, a shadow, a ghost, just another face in the crowd there. I knew for a long time that was going to happen someday, so I've already learned to accept it.
