Live for those intersections

The journey of our lives is a single line, with many twists and turns, crossing with others' as we interact in our daily lives. Physical proximity with others tends to create more opportunities for our lives to intersect, and we gain insights into each others' lives. We share experiences, create memories together, but still let them inform each of us separately and uniquely. We may share many of these experiences, and still come out different on the other side.

It's only been a week since my sisters flew back to their respective homes, each half the world away. And so our intersections will become fewer. Who knows when our lives will all intersect together again? We each have our own lives, and our own families, and our own futures to chart.

And we are each our own people, with our own perspectives on life. Still, I look forward to the next intersection. For we are still family.

BOINC x GRC in Malaysia

Despite mainly just running BOINC on my laptop, I'm still in the top 100 BOINCers in Malaysia, which - honestly - is a bit surprising. I've been running BOINC off and on since basically its inception, but my current World ranking is nothing special.

So what I find really curious is that there are a decent number of GRC nodes identified in Malaysia. It fluctuates, of course, as nodes switch from offline to online all the time, but just two days ago there were 19 Gridcoin nodes online in Malaysia.

And the reason I find this curious is, are these nodes actively mining? Or just investors? Cos I don't think there's much value proposition in being just a GRC investor (and I say this as a GRC supporter). And yet, I don't see that many active BOINCers above me in the top 100.

Curious.

Let's X that Twitter

So, uh, I had forgotten that a long time back I added a Twitter widget to this blog. Let's just get rid of that X now, shall we?

Genshin Impact how many years/months in?

Just the other night a friend said he had gotten back into Genshin Impact. I recently reinstalled it on a laptop (it's way too big for my phone now), so I launched it up to check on my status. I tend to stick with games, even if I'm not sure why I'm still playing. I remember logging into Stronghold Kingdoms on Steam, as a free-to-play player for months on end, only to have my towns destroyed forcing me to start from scratch again.

Genshin, however, I stopped mainly cos of the space issue. So it's been awhile since I played. I've only just started in Sumeru, so I'm way behind on the main story. And don't get me started on the side-quests. I still have plenty to do in Inazuma, and I just breezed through The Chasm to get out of it as fast as I could.

Still, I have decent characters at least.
