+As we come to the end of 2025 I continue to contemplate what is next?
+
+Do I want to continue in the software engineering industry with its many systemic faults?
+
+Or should I branch out and do something completely different?
+
+[80,000 hours](https://80000hours.org/) is a guide to careers that have a positive impact on the world.
+
+My searching for a new home are currently focusing on the East coast of Scotland (which is dryer than London at the moment).  Aberdeen (the granite city) has good support for cycling and a few cycle clubs in the area.
+
+Wired up my Playstation 4 and VR headset to start playing games again. During more severe covid symptoms I couldnt wear the VR headset as it put too much pressure on my head. From an hour of play today, the VR headset felt okay.
+
+I had a few quick games of Stardust and one surprisingly successful game of Polybius.

+## Neovim
+
+[Neovim 0.11.3 released](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/v0.10.3).
+
+The nvim.appimage file was downloaded from the GitHub releases page, along with the SHA256 checksum.
+
+Check the integrity of the file download
+
+```shell
+sha256sum --check nvim.appimage.sha256sum
+```
+
+Set the `nvim.appimage` file to executable.
+
+```shell
+chmod a+x nvim.appimage
+```
+
+Move the nvim.appimage to the shared executable path to make available to all users, renaming to nvim.
+
+
+```shell
+sudo mv nvim.appimage /usr/local/bin/nvim
+```
+
+### LSP file name refactor
+
+Astrocommunity has the `nvim-lsp-file-operations` plugin packaged, so taking it for a test drive to see if I can refactor filenames and update namespace names (and vice versa).

+Thank you.
