Hello World


Mum and My birthday's this month, hers this week, and mine towards the end of the month. We both decided new bedroom drawers would be the best way to go.

We got Mum two bedside chest of drawers from Amazon, but as of typing, only one of them has been built up.
With my distinctly rubbish levels of energy and fitness, I'm absolutely freakin' exhausted from doing one. We're probably going to leave it a couple of days before tackling the second.

Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be tackling my room. Clearing out probably a decade of untouched mess, and building up a couple of larger ikea drawer sets.
Given how knackered the 3-drawer slimline bedside cabinet left me, not really looking forward to building up a giant 6-drawer, 5.5ft chest of drawers!!..
Hmmm..

This might kill me!!

Worldly Wordle Success

The online game Wordle is a direct rip from the ITV gameshow Lingo.
Jay knows this, because last January 2021, Jay also ripped off the gameshow and put it into the Shoebox of Games. (Wordle wasn't a thing until October 2021)

Wordle took on stratospheric levels of popularity, and has now been bought by the New York Times.. Even though it's just a basic word game idea, and is quite frankly as much of a rip off as Jay's version.

The creator of Wordle pockets millions.
Jay's version continues to be ignored.

Jay isn't pissed off about this, or the 100 different newspaper-ready puzzles that he coded in Foldapuz, either.

Nope.
Not at all.

Congratulations to the Wordle guy.

More Perfume

TomToad lets us know of another Perfume concert available on Amazon Prime Video.
I'm SO happy that I can actually properly enjoy stuff like this, nowadays. Long gone are the days of Kazaa, Morpheus and Newsgroups being my only way to enjoy proper music.
