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 🙂

Pleased to share that I’ve obtained my ‘Professional Data Engineer’ certification from Google Cloud!
I’ve been quiet in the audio world since around July, pivoting to focus on this, so I’m pleased it’s done!
Back to audio works soon, I think :)

Chose violence this week 💅
Life feels a little different after watching Martyrs (2008). A brilliant movie that you can’t recommend to most people

Hey folks, hope we’re all dandy!
I’ve now wrapped my part on a recent audio project (woo!), so after a few months of being ‘constantly on’, I’m pleased to have some breathing space in my evenings, for a while 🙂
Taking a short break. Treated myself to a new deck - how gorgeous is this graphic?

Recently I’ve been on/off with the socials. Hope we’re all well.
Been tinkering away with a game I’m working on, hopefully can share my contributions soon!
In the meantime, I’ve made a good re-start with skating again, which feels GREAT

Started developing a monitoring tool of sorts (slight difference to Reaper's own - aggregation I think?)
I'm bad for getting in the zone and just applying stuff without properly routing/being as efficient as possible.
Gonna add in some bits more, but this is kinda cool already :)

Hey #gameaudio 🔊
This is coming in hot! This is looking like our most-attended one yet. While the industry is in a scary place right now, we’re looking forward to catching up with friends old and new. See you soon!

Most horror movies exercise a good tension vs release ebb & flow. It’s what makes long-form horror effective.
However, home invasion movies are especially good at a constant ramp upward of tension.
This movie is at a near-constant unease incline and if that’s your thing, it’s worth that alone.

Recent watches. I’ve been playing more games/working on a game through January, but I did pick up some physical stuff which has been cool 🙂

I’ve (literally) waited years to be able to pick up a PS5. It’s never really been the right time, and I often feel guilty for larger purchases.
But sometime you’ve got to realise that you are your own Santa.
Excited!!!

Recently I picked a Blu-Ray pack of Neon Genesis Evangelion+END OF EVANGELION+EVANGELION: DEATH(TRUE)2
Really looking forward to watching EoE again and buzzing I got it for this price.
This is the Netflix 2019 dub. Fine by me as this was my first watch and holds part of the love ❤️

Views can connect directly to Tableau (meaning tableau executes this code upon each filter request etc), and are easy to edit while in-test. BUT we don't want this to be a view forever in case of query cost and optimisation. (Another scheduled insert layer/job).

Stage 2: Python Script/Cloud Function
This is my first Python script, and took a while to get the basics done 🐍
Some basic transformation is handled at this stage, but you want to consider what to keep at a 'raw data' level in the database, and further changes can be made using SQL.
