Weekly Notes 2024.10

2024-03-10 2 min read
  • This week was, for some reason, slightly exhausting for me, though I can’t point to any one specific event or series of events that caused the exhaustion. I had a fairly standard work week, and then enjoyed a visit from my sister this weekend.
  • While she was visiting, we played World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - A Pandemic System Board game and Small World of Warcraft, two games I picked up a few years ago but hadn’t had time to play. Both proved fun, and I hope to play them again sometime soon!
  • Also this weekend, I had the pleasure of watching an amazing performance by the Concordia University - Chicago Wind Symphony. It’s been many years since I attended an event of this nature, and I didn’t realize until afterwards how much I’ve missed it. All of the performers did a fantastic job, and it was a delightful way to spend an evening.
  • In the generally-interesting category, I ran across DropDMG when reading through a blog earlier this week. While I don’t have an immediate need to distribute macOS applications, knowing that such a tool exists could be useful in the future.
