Great to see the huge attendance but the quality of the footy this weekend was pretty poor. There really wasn't a super high quality game and lots of blowouts.

200 Australian Record#abc.net.au
This was an insane run. The kid is so good.
Collingwood Documentary#youtube.com
This is one of the best Collingwood documentaries I've ever seen. I think I had the VCR as a kid.

Aria Of Sorrow
I've been playing a bunch of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow this week. It's an excellent entry in the Castlevania series.
I must admit it's a lot easier than Symphony of the Night so far. This might be to do with the fact that it's a Game Boy Advance game. I've only had 1 challenging boss fight so far but I am getting up to the more difficult sections. I'm about halfway through I think.
The pixel art is stunning and the music is great. Castlevania always has some very catchy tunes.

Cool data visualization for the iPhone.

Aquatic Dog
He's becoming more aquatic. He loved a bit of a beach swim yesterday. Nice to have some final days of warmer weather before we head into winter.

86 Masters#youtube.com
I know I posted about the Masters last week but there's just something so special about these old broadcasts. It just looks like a perfect piece of visual art. There's no ads, the music is great, the commentary is great; it's really what I love about watching sports.
Crazy Jack Nicklaus won this but Greg Norman should have got it done. He choked so many times in his career.

Minish Cap Done
Really enjoyed this one. It's a hidden gem in the Zelda series.

Hell Ride#youtube.com
I've met a few people that do this ride but god damn that looks quick. The way they take on the cars too is chaotic.

Shifting From S3 To R2
As an experiment I decided to shift all my blog assets (mainly images) from S3 to R2.
It was a very smooth transition for the most part. I copied all the files across, and since harrisonmalone.com uses Cloudflare for DNS, I was able to use a custom subdomain (images.harrisonmalone.com) for all the assets in R2.
I then did a DB update to change all the image urls for my music and games page. This was very quick with some help from codex.
I also did a small rewrite of my update-blog script to ensure that the Date: added to the front matter for my posts is observed. I could then just do a simple find-and-replace to update all the image urls across my site.
Spuddys Week
Once again, he lives a good life.

End Of The Mac Pro#9to5mac.com
This is the end of an era. The Mac Pro has been such a weird product for a few years now. Good to see that the slate has been wiped clean.

Linear Issues And AI#linear.app
Task tracking is another place rife for the picking for AI to come in and completely change the game.
The tickets that Codex can now generate based on the little context I give it is insane. From basic requirements to acceptance criteria; it's just so much better and faster for the AI to do the ticket creation for you.
Masters Rewatch#youtube.com
It's that time of the year again. The Masters is upon us.
The fact you can watch pretty much all the tournaments over the last 30 years is awesome.
Fred Couples swing is so beautiful. Shame that he lost this one.

Adelaide Wedding
A fun weekend! Adelaide is a really nice city. Congrats to Nikki and Toddy.



Burback#youtube.com
This Burback channel is a lot of fun. Been watching some of their older stuff this week. It has a lot of production value.
Gasoline Prices#globalpetrolprices.com
This is a nice little chart for fuel prices around the world.
I paid ~$2.50 AUD per litre today which is the most I've ever paid for fuel.
This website is still on the 16th of March so it's a little behind. There's no petrol stations selling fuel for 2.07 per litre right now that's for sure.

What Happened To Spyro#youtube.com
This was an excellent Spyro retrospective. Me and my brother feel a lot of nostalgia for Spyro as it was also one of the first games we ever played.
A new Spyro would do really well IMO. Let's hope Toys For Bob are cooking something up.
