2023, Week 24 in Review
planted on in: Week In Review and Blogging.
~434 words, about a 3 min read.
It finally happened, I managed to max out the open tabs in Safari on my iPhone. What this has meant is that I needed to do a purge in order for Safari to remain usable and that gave me an opportunity to rediscover some interesting websites.
Much like Łukasz mentions in his article: The quest for purging my bookmarks, I too need to undertake a major purge in my digital hoard, mostly with the many hundreds of tabs that remain open un-looked at for months, if not years. However, this recent experience on my iPhone was surprising as for almost every tab I remembered why I had opened it and most importantly why I had left it open. Pardus for example was part of my research for Space Mines, it's a similar browser game to Planetarion and both are sources of inspiration for my own.
The past six weeks have been an exercise in not getting much #Blogging done; both April and May saw very little activity from me with regard to writing. I instead worked on Space Mines and rested. Whether this will change in June or July I am unsure. We shall have to see.
Joke of the week
