august 9th

the window is still open so might as well write another post. let's see, what's happened since yesterday? i worked from home again, met with my manager about work priorities and improving the feature i'm working on. i also worked on the yaze repo a bit. a lot of organizing and cleaning up the codebase. i'm trying to get it to a point where i can start adding new features and improving the message editing so i can organize the dialogue in oracle of secrets.

i went skating for a bit after it rained. there were even tornado warnings earlier today, but the rain hasn't been too crazy yet. it was supposed to be bad all week on account of the hurricane down in florida, but it's been pretty mild compared to what i was expecting.

tomorrow i'll try to work on the hack some more. i've been promising my beta testers an updated patch with a new intro quest and it's nearly complete but i really want to organize that dialogue to make it easier on me adding new NPCs since i am close to the limit currently.

august 8th

it's been a long time. how have you been?

i honestly forgot i had this blog for the longest time. i got so caught up in working on my rom hack and my zelda editor that i never bothered to keep the vscode window that i normally add website content with. i'm going to update the oracle page with a bunch of what's happened in the last year or so.

for me personally, i passed the one year at google back in june. i'm very happy with the job. it's really interesting being in the adult world full time. i work hybrid and commute into new york city a few days a week. njt has been having really poor service lately on account of the heat, which has had me working from home more often, but i still try to come into the office when i can so i can collaborate with people directly.

it's also a lot of fun to skate around manhattan before and after work. i used to take 8th ave pretty consistently from penn station, but i've started doing 7th ave more often instead. in the afternoon i will usually pick a random avenue to skate down and take pictures before getting back to penn station.
