Today’s game is some more Baldur’s Gate 3. Me and my friends have been exploring the Underdark and ended up splitting up. Though. We did it in the worst way possible. We had our support members go on their own while Me (The Fighter) and The Barbarian went off our own way.

Me and the Barbarian ended up getting into a scuffle with some slavers after we stole a boat and rode it down the road. I was busy helping a Stone Mason with something, but when I got there my friend said the guy was trying to cane him. So of course I helped him. After we were done we chucked his body over the edge. I like that this game lets us do that. It really makes for a unique experience because the game really doesn’t have any bars saying “nope. I won’t let you do that”.

Meanwhile my other friends (I have been informed I used the template wrong, but I like the picture regardless) got into a skirmish with a turret after running to the tower because they were really excited to see something magical. Last I checked on them Laizel is dead and they’re getting pummeled to death and can’t get out. So, maybe we shouldn’t have split up.

Me and the Barbarian also went off on our own before that in order to hunt down the quest for the “Masterwork weapon”. Slayed two minatours. More actuately though they jumped to get to us and were both left with 5 HP. You won’t hear me complaining though. Basically free exp.

Next time we’re on I think I’ll try and finish up in the area me and the barbarian are in. And then if I can I’ll go help the other two so they don’t die. Also revive Laizel. That should probably be on the list.

Meet Sirena, a female Grey seal pup who was found at Wicklow Harbour, Co. Wicklow, on the 12th of September 2026 by Gerard K.

She was found alone swimming in the harbour, very close to the pier and a big boat. Sirena was estimated to be around 7-14 days old and was found orphaned and underweight, with her lanugo still present. This lanugo coat protects pups from low temperatures, but it is not waterproof. For this reason, it was very unusual and dangerous for Sirena to be in the deep water for so long, without her mother with her.

Sirena was strong and brave enough to haul out on a nearby beach, where we were finally able to safely lift and transport her to our centre in Courtown, Co. Wexford.

Sirena has a bit of a feisty side, and certainly isn't afraid to let us know what she thinks. We're hopeful that with plenty of care, rest and fish, she'll continue to gain strength and make great progress over the coming weeks.

Mrs. P, our barred owl, is looking as beautiful as ever! It's hard to believe she celebrated her 20th birthday this year.

Visited a wildlife park on the weekend and saw this beauty. Sorry for the quality - it decided to stay in the back of its enclosure and I cut the pic to exclude the rest of its dinner.

Every line in the boot path is code we wrote. There is zero Apple code between power-on and Linux. The bootloader is ours, top to bottom. To our knowledge, no one has done this on an A13 device before.

Another set of pics from my visit. This time centered around two younger GHOs. They're siblings, about 1 year old and were part of the flight show. But they are still learning.

As they're not native to the park's location (Germany) they were hand-reared and used to humans. They were almost always in motion.

Contrary to wild birds they were also quite vocal. Young birds are still vocal to beg their parents for food or as a way to contact call. Wild birds will have to learn that making noise will alert prey and they should stay quiet when they are starting to hunt on their own.

In German falconers use the term "lahnen" to describe this vocal begging/calling.

The falconer on my side was kind enough to place one of the siblings almost next to my seat. In German these GHOs are called Virginiauhu or Virginia-Uhu.

Ukraine continued their attacks on Russian energy targets in Samara, Ukhta, and Novoshakhtinsk. Ukraine has now struck three Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladimir leading to internet outages. Trump has lifted sanctions on Russia and announced America will be buying billions of dollars of Russian diesel fuel.
