This week.
Apr. 2nd, 2023 02:16 pmI saw Dungeons And Dragons Honor Among Thieves! It's really great and people should see it!
I got some free swag!
( exhibit A )
I'm going to do a follow-up post because for as long as I have been a tabletop RPG gamer (i.e. since 1991 or so) I have had sort of a love/hate relationship with some aspects of the Forgotten Realms, including the weird way it addresses (or doesn't address) some of its weird political themes. So, more to come on that. But the movie is great! I feel like I'm going to have to see it a dozen times just to catch all of the easter eggs. Gonna preorder the Blu Ray.
And, I got my first Microsoft Cloud Cert! (AZ-900)
( exhibit B )
(LOL, the testing site needs to clean their printer or check the cartridges.)
Why this cert, you ask, after all my recent bloviating about tech having gone down the wrong path over the past ten years or so in my opinion? Well, 1. It and any future cloud certs will potentially put me back in the running for a hosting job, 2. my personal precept of "learn as much as you can about stuff that scares you," and 3. my current job required it and paid for it.
In other not-so-great news, Booster Gold the sugar glider is dealing with some health issues due to the fact that he is now an Old Old Man. Chief among those is ankylosing spondylitis. He's on (a much, much lesser dose of) the same meds my Mom is currently taking for her arthritis, as well as some antibiotics. I know this is basically one of those long term maintenance care things and will be for the forseeable future, but thankfully he has a good vet and we're just taking things one day at a time.
