okay i kinda felt gross typing out the title but figured I'd try something new so the perm link to the post doesn't add those extra letters/numbers if it's an identical title you've already used in the past, not that I know if I have.
I haven't been posting much lately as I've been busy with other things around hive, mainly curation on different projects/accounts and work towards zing. I do plan on improving a bit on my posting however, if anything to help with zing funding as it's still looking quite bleak there with ~$600 a week. Another thing I really need here soon is, as the title says, a vacation.
It's been over 1.5 years again since my last vacation, not sure how close to burn-out I am or how much passed, but it feels like high time to get one here soon. Naturally, being a hiver and this active, my vacation will still mean an hour or two per day voting, will have to see if someone can help get some of the daily routine off my back for a while, but that'll already be quite an improvement to how things are currently.
I'm planning on taking a longer trip this time however so maybe some hive here and there won't be too bad to keep up with things and keep down with voting power. This trip is something I've been meaning to do for quite some time now and have talked about it with a friend since forever, we'll be going and exploring Japan.
I'll also be borrowing my fiancé's camera for the trip and taking as many pics as I can and try improve on my photography while there, given how good the camera is I'm probably half-way to a pro. (just kidding)
I do plan on posting them while on the trip however, while the memories are fresh and whatever info i find out about places are still on my mind, maybe my fiancé will wanna do some editing of pics for me in exchange for some beneficiary rewards? (please)
Either way, I just need to get active in posting more generally. Noticed it had been 11 days since my post before the one I posted yesterday which is kind of a bummer as I like writing and engaging with people. I've been saying for a long time that whenever my involvement with my projects is done and they're self-sustaining/developing I'll be hands off again and get back to "my roots", which is basically curating and leaving comments here and there on newer and older accounts as that's what I did for most of my early years on this chain.
Feels like I also have a lot to post about, especially since it's hard to find people here that are this involved in the things I am, so talking to strangers/friends of friends in the real world about things hive, gaming development, etc, isn't that easy. Thus maybe my following will entertain me in that regard instead? Sure there's DM's and I'd have to admit more time is spent there on a daily basis than is probably healthy development-wise, but it's just the way it is right now I guess. I'm sure many other hivers are in the same boat where they may spend a lot of time chatting in various Hive discord servers and dm's.
Anyway, there's still a few things I'd like to get done, development-wise, before my trip. I'll be talking a bit more about them in the next few days. Maybe a bit more on why Japan as well and the plans there.
Thanks for reading, being here and of course having skin in the game those of you who've been around long enough to maybe also need some vacations now and then.
