Got my Favourite First Watches of 2024 list together. Managed 110 movies this year!
I think the only 5* I gave was to Mulholland Drive - after that, just a lot 4*s and other stuff I enjoyed for one thing or another ๐

The amount of AI promotional advertisements Iโm seeing these days is getting irritating. Nothing new to say as such, and itโs targeted advertising to a degree, but itโs the absolute drivel that is being wheeled out that is a total wind-up.
Iโm no expert. Still. Ahhhhhhhh

Definitely beneficial overall - Googleโs own modules were great, but didnโt quite cover everything required for the emac IMO, so just as well I sought out extra content/mock exams etc.
Still, really interesting, Iโd recommend it with some small caveatsโฆ

Pleased to share that Iโve obtained my โProfessional Data Engineerโ certification from Google Cloud!
Iโve been quiet in the audio world since around July, pivoting to focus on this, so Iโm pleased itโs done!
Back to audio works soon, I think :)

Iโve been studying for an upcoming Data Engineer exam. Itโs been a long journey but Iโm laughing because Iโm rehearsing mock exams, and when I get answers right I say โfucking hellโ to myself, as if Iโm surprised that my revision is paying off

Finished a re-watch of Park Chan-Wookโs โDecision to Leaveโ and already looking forward to watching it again soon.
I also watched the VFX reel in its extras, really cool to see some of the work go in! :)

Oh. I wanted to share this for fellow Horror/Sci-fi fans:
Itโs a short called FROM BEYOND (not tied to the movie of the same name), a look at the beginnings of an alien invasion(?).
Looks gorgeous, sounds wonderful. Love this!!
