+## 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.
