I watched the first 3 episodes of Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Season 1 📺. Yeah… not great. I didn’t expect something amazing, but I guess I had hopes for this one. The story fills flat and a bit cliche, rushed. I’ll probably finish it since there are only 8 episodes.

I continue to enjoy this show. Yesterday, I saw Better Call Saul S5E2, 50% Off 🍿. I didn’t saw this show fully when it came out… good stuff.

I’m revamping the micro.blog pages on my wiki. Revelation of this morning: I can use Co-pilot to translate org-mode syntax to wikitext (Tiddlywiki’s syntax)…! No more annoying ID tags in the HTML or image tags that need to be cleaned up. Finally, Co-pilot is useful for something.

Trying to help my mom getting used to Siri and a new iPhone she will get soon. The huge size and the lack of the physical button will throw her off for about a month…
