Set up motion detection on my home security camera. Caught four stray cats playing in the driveway at like 2am. Kind of annoying that the detection is unconditionally "object-based" (ANN is used to filter false positives like lighting changes).

Also been thinking about game ideas for a while. Finally settled on an open world RPG where you control multiple (>10?) characters. Core gameplay loop will be configuring / optimizing schedules (farming materials, grinding xp, etc) and watching damage / currency numbers go big. Though if I'm being honest, I just want an excuse to build something that involves a node-based UI. So even if I don't finish, I'll have at least scratched that itch.

I finally kicked off my browser based game with the help of codex cli this year. It has been like having a junior developer that takes decent direction. There have been some missteps but "we" have made a lot more progress on it than I had the last three years. And it let's me spend my time optimizing the things I like doing.
