To dos

Drawing up a to do list of things remaining to code in my IFComp 2024 game. Relieved that it is just 30 items long, though a lot of the items are really multiple thing entries e.g. there's a single item in the list that just says "Fill out descriptions of objects/scenery - see individual locations comments for details". But at least with the list laid out it feels tackleable! And avoids me staring blankly at a mass of source code wondering what to do next 😜

ABBA sifting

Starting to draw up for a blog post my own personal list of favourite ABBA songs. If I can get this down to Top 10 (not ranked, apart from maybe top 3) that will be quite something. I've started sifting through the big hitters, but I like many lesser known ones too, so there's much recapping to do.

And yes I probably need an ABBA Dreamwidth icon too.

EDIT: And here is the first draft version of my top 10 list. Listed in chronological order of release. Need to mull a bit more though, and figure out a top 3. I clearly have a serious preference for late era ABBA!
