# Life In Progress, as of {{ page.pub }}
|
||||
|
||||
- Learning [Stan Rogers'
|
||||
_Bluenose_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZVpvJsqTMM) on mandolin and voice
|
||||
- Building a few games in the [TIC-80 fantasy console](https://tic80.com)
|
||||
- Deploying my own ["Pages" server](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/pages-server/)
|
||||
- Building a Forgejo Action for deploying game builds to Itch.io using
|
||||
[butler](https://itch.io/docs/butler/)
|
||||
- Building a custom WordPress Docker container that uses SQLite
|
||||
- Starting my own business
|
||||
|
||||
## Music
|
||||
|
||||
Adam and I continue our semi-weekly jam sessions! We've settled on [Stan Rogers'
|
||||
_Bluenose_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZVpvJsqTMM) for our first piece. I
|
||||
normally pick up lyrics pretty quick, but this song eludes me. We worked on the
|
||||
chord progression last week, and I've been actually practicing!
|
||||
|
||||
## Game Dev
|
||||
|
||||
Still having a blast with [TIC-80](https://tic80.com/). I made a small farming
|
||||
experiment game, to learn [Fennel](https://fennel-lang.org) some more and also
|
||||
nail-down some basic design principles. Some of the ideas in that experiment,
|
||||
namely generating the map with a loop and `mset` instead of using the built-in
|
||||
map designer, gave me some insight for solving my darkness troubles in
|
||||
Nightgolf. I'm still wrapping my head around it, but I think this will be a
|
||||
solution.
|
||||
|
||||
The farming experiment game lives on
|
||||
[Itch.io](https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/farm-experiment-1) and the [TIC-80
|
||||
Webzone](https://tic80.com/play?cart=3965).
|
||||
|
||||
## Tech Dev
|
||||
|
||||
[Forgejo](https://forgejo.org/) continues to be rewarding, and I'm looking
|
||||
forward to expanding my deployment of it by deploying my own ["Pages"
|
||||
server](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/pages-server/). This will allow me to
|
||||
deploy my static sites on my own infrastructure. I'm also working on an "Action"
|
||||
for leveraging [butler](https://itch.io/docs/butler/) to publish games I publish
|
||||
the source code for from my Forge to Itch.io.
|
||||
|
||||
In preparation for both my own use, and my business use, I need to learn more
|
||||
about Nextcloud. I'm also working on building a custom WordPress Docker
|
||||
container that relies on SQLite instead of MySQL.
|
||||
|
||||
Hovering about all this is backups and monitoring, both of which I sprinkle into
|
||||
my learning voyage. I'm looking forward to writing up some documentation about
|
||||
my implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Entrepreneurship
|
||||
|
||||
I'm happy to report I was accepted into New York's Self-Employment Assistance
|
||||
Program, [SEAP](https://dol.ny.gov/SEAP). I will be starting a business offering
|
||||
managed online services, such as website design and deployment, personal cloud,
|
||||
and email. I would like to offer these services to local small businesses and
|
||||
not-for-profits. I think of it as "Silicon Valley experience" at reasonable,
|
||||
local prices. I'm excited to dive into the parts I'm not very familiar with,
|
||||
namely the business side of things. I have extensive technical experience and
|
||||
mastery, but I lack any significant business experience.
|
||||
|
||||
## Gaming
|
||||
|
||||
I've started a new playthrough of [Darkest
|
||||
Dungeon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkest_Dungeon). It's mildly
|
||||
frustrating, but mostly fun. I have fun yelling at the game; it's like stress
|
||||
relief. I've been generally successful, but the Crimson Court has been very
|
||||
rough to me. It is a game about challenges and loss, though, so nothing
|
||||
unexpected.
|
||||
|
||||
I've continued my play-through of
|
||||
[Sundered](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundered), though have put it down for
|
||||
a bit. I'm playing it on my Steam Deck using [Lutris](https://lutris.net/), and
|
||||
it works very well. Lutris continues to impress me, and I want to try writing an
|
||||
installer for a game.
