Week Notes 26#21

• It's heating up this week, and tomorrow is going to be ~33!
• Spent some time digging into how Renovate's caches work, to write up some more in-depth docs, and learned a number of interesting things I'm looking forward to finish writing up
• KvK vs 521 was fun
  • We smashed them in prep, but they lasted longer than us for the battle
  • Was interesting joining the Discord during the battle, and hearing the coordination conversations
  • And funny when I joined 521's Discord call (just to see how things were going) and got a "respectfully, we're gonna kick you" 💀
  • Did my first proper post-battle hunting, and got some very good points, but a couple of whales from 521 decided to fight back, and I ended up with ~500K troops lost (and ~100m power reduction) but luckily getting most of them back
  • There was a little bit of classic 521 drama that we mostly avoided, thankfully
• Had a nice pub night on Thursday - not super toasty, but definitely getting there!
• Had a nice massage on Friday afternoon
• A nice long weekend so far, enjoying the weather, getting bits done around the house, and getting my tan going
  • Been a bit more physical - I've been been pressure washing + treating the decking, as it's very much needing it - toasty work!
  • Had a nice walk at Gravelly Hollow - earlier than usual - but it was warming up, and getting very toasty when we left
• Right now, I can smell a very nice BBQ going on outside
