I’ve pre-empted my last few posts with how long it’s been since the previous post. Well it’s been another two months and I’ve not finished much, and yet I am alive.
I have been continuing the path of the Retro Oner. I’ve made it through the XFM days and miss Vin a lot. I just finished the Self Assessment Tax Deadline episode in 2022. Hundreds of hours down and yet there’s more. I find Shame Wells really hard but it’s a very fun project, seeing the last decade compressed into a few months has been wild.
In terms of books I’ve got the following on the go:
- Russia Revolution and Civil War - Beevor
- Twelve Percent Dread - Emil McGovern
- The Silver Bayonet - Joseph A McCullough
- The Anarchy - William Dalrymple
- Dune Messiah - Frank Herbert (how can a book be such a slog and yet so short???)
- Red Devils - Mark Urban
- Beyond the Wall - Katja Hoyer
- Head First Software Architecture - Raju Gandhi, Mark Richards, Neal Ford
- Chain of Command: Far East Handbook - Too Fat Lardies (Richard Clarke)
- Marr’s Guitars - Johnny Marr (a superb gift from the Enjoy and Album)
Yeah. The classic attention span problem.
I’ve been embracing the Bosh Philosophy and painted loads of miniatures. I might post photos at some point.
I am alive.
