  3. I started a new class in Final Fantasy XIV, which means I’m having an interesting time learning new mechanics.

  2. A coworker created a really nifty script for determining public holidays programatically, and I’m stealing it for use at home with the remind calendar.

Hello @aliceofbattenberg @alys and @shanaqui. Yes it’s great to see more people active here.

  2. Good music in today’s workout!
  3. Focusmate session 400th today :slight_smile:! @shanaqui Do we have a group for Beeminders there?

We don’t yet, but we could look at that if people are keen! How much do you know about setting up groups? I’ve only peeked at it and seen that it says it’s a “paid service”…

  1. Some nice messages from Habitica users as I wrap up some of my tasks there to hand on to other folks.
  2. A parcel from one of my friends which includes some sour Haribos.
  3. Managed to figure out a badass gender-neutral glam (costume that hides your actual gear which you get your stats from) on FFXIV! This had been seriously bothering me because I had some lovely feminine gear, but not a lot of masculine/neutral stuff that wasn’t reaaaally basic.

  3. Jeremy’s sister’s son has his 18th on Sunday and they’re having a brunch that’s smaller than originally intended because of covid. I offered to not go so they could invite one more family member but they told me I am family and in the inner circle. :heart:

I have gone through their detailed form for setting up a group. They ask a bunch of questions (like how many members, active Focusmate users etc) and then approve the group after sometime
