Recovering from surgery I had on my wrist.
It's been quite some time since I've actually been active on the internet since I moved to a new state a little over a year ago. I've hopped around a few jobs until I got one that stuck, eventually the stress from that job screwed up the tendon in my wrist, twice, I ended up having to get surgery to fully fix it after the first time it happened. A few months before the surgery I started streaming again but on a frequent bases and gameplay instead of my normal productive streams, you can actually watch me painfully stream the day after my surgery where I played games with only 1 hand and in a lot of pain here (WARNING, it's really boring). I put the streams on pause for now but I will at some point get back to streaming, probably more productive activity like my music production process or my game development but for now I think I will switch to posting on my blog as well as create some Youtube videos. I think making video versions of my blog posts for people who don't like reading news article looking pages while I could also make them a bit entertaining and show more visual progress on my end.
As for the more productive side of my life I recently bought a small journal, and got this website up and running as well as all my others and plan on updating this page quite frequently. I plan on filling my journal with lots of concepts and ideas for things I've had stuck in my head for many, many years now want to share those ideas with all of you, be excited to check those out later on. Also sorry if the website runs a little slow, I originally bought it from a template site a few years ago since it was very simple and I know I could work with it very easily as I am now in the process of simplifying the javascript and other modules to make it more optimised and compact, I already have a little already before uploading.
Notes on this blog post's image; My desk is filled with all sorts of stuff I've been involving my life with every time I come home from work. The small journal I mentioned before along with some a bar of chocolate, my field recorder, a damaged audio interface and a protein shake. Don't mind the mail, it's all work related. For what's viewable on my computer, my main monitor is the background for another project of mine for music I've been creating and continue to for the next few years, rkonnek. It will involve some more darker tones compared to my more recent songs that also involve me resampling old tracks I made way back in the past, reusing them and turning them into something completely new so be sure to stick around for that. If you are interested on what is on my bottom monitor, it's a cool album I discovered the other day but sadly only available on Youtube, you can listen to it here. My vertical monitor is just Visual Studio with a bunch of javascript that doesn't resolve anything, I just quickly generated it with ChatGPT since I don't think I have anything else interesting I could be showing on it as of right now.
Stick around for later on I do plan on posting more blog posts and concepts from my journal expressing my ideas for games, music, and the media projects I've had stuck in my head for years. I'll also be releasing some more singles under my .Gage alias on my bandcamp here. There is probably way more to cover but since this is my first post I think I'd like to not make it super lengthy, stay tuned for the video version. You can also follow the links to the relevant topics from this post down below including my Youtube where I'll be uploading videos, an invite to a Discord server you can get in contact with me on, my bandcamp, and my rkonnek webpage.
Peace,
