The habichuelas rosadas turned out really good! You mash up the pumpkin (I used a Hubbard squash) once it's cooked and it turns into a rich gravy that's just a little sweet. So good! The original recipe called for ham and salt pork but I'm not much of a meat guy so I subbed it for mushrooms and a smokey chile chipotle. If you want the recipe, let me know.

어렸을 때 몸이 허약했습니다. 그 시절 가장 싫었던 건 내과에서 주는 가루약이었어요. 그냥 무지 쓰기만 한 것도 아니고, 어떻게든 쓴맛을 무마해 보겠다고 넣은 합성 과일향이 오히려 미각을 더 혼란에 빠트리는 괴상한 맛이었어요. 성장한 이후 다시는 맛본 적이 없지만 떠올리려면 바로 떠올릴 수 있는 쓰린 기억이에요. 그걸 떠올리게 해 줬구나 바나프레소 핑크 아메리카노야. 그래 이 맛이었어. 그때 그 기만적인 가루약 맛이.

The past week I've been chipping away a bit here and there playing Ted Murphy: Under a Killing Moon (1994). It's a lot of fun.

It feels like the right kind of game to ease my mind a bit more into thinking in terms of puzzle games, if that makes sense. The puzzles are not too difficult for someone as puzzle-game-impaired as I seem to be.

I didn't realize how disc-swap heavy playing this game would really be, but in some parts you have to switch discs quite frequently. I suppose it would've been quite helpful if my old PC had two drives.

But, in the end of the day that's not really a big deal. Kind of lends to the era appropriateness I suppose.

I'm not sure how far I am, but I get the feeling that I'm probably quite far along, maybe 70/80%?

I'm playing with the mouselook patch, which really makes playing this game so much nicer. The default controls really are... awkward. You can get the patch here, where you can also find a similar patch for the sequel, Pandora Directive: https://github.com/moralrecordings/tex3-mouselook


Photo of my Windows 98 PC with 19 inch CRT monitor standing on the left-hand side of my desk, with Ted Murphy: Under a Killing Moon shown running on-screen. The multi-disc jewel case of Under a Killing Moon is standing on its side right in front of the PC, with its big box standing off to the side, right next to the desk on some small drawers. A cute lamp with woolly looking cover is turned on and standing right behind the keyboard, and in front of the Roland SoundCanvas SC-88vl that is powered on and currently playing back the game's background music. Several small Toy Story characters can be seen standing right in front of and underneath the monitor, with a skinny and tall cup of coffee standing to the left of the frame. In the background towards the right part of a bookcase can be seen with more PC games awaiting their chance for a playthrough. I'm very slow at doing this.

It's 100% intentional that mobile providers don't give you an easy way to see your overall data usage, right?

Like, Telstra gives you a bar chart of up to the last 3 months (not 90 days - if you were halfway through a month, you'd get 2.5 calendar months of data), but nothing more granular.

Woolies lets me view seven days of usage, or download a PDF of up to 90 days, all with mixed units and poor enough formatting I can't easily get it into a spreadsheet.

This is anticompetitive bullshit.

A screenshot of a table of data. It shows data usage of a mobile phone, from the first to the ninth of January 2025. There are multiple rows of data per day, because each individual session is counted - the 9th of January for example shows 421.12MB, 144.33MB, 10KB, 10KB and 8KB. There is no sum of data used per month or even per day.

テキストエディタって作っては次が、作っては次が出てくるほどに奥深い。

そしてオンラインだと遅延が酷いので結局ローカル最強ってところに回帰する。
