+Interviewing for an Engineering Manager at an interesting FinTech company.
+
+The [journey into Hyprland](#hyprland) continues its never ending (?) journey.  I recently discovered [:fontawesome-brands-github: HyDE](https://github.com/HyDE-Project/HyDE) which provides a rich desktop environment on top of Hyprland.  Initially the install script was used but it does seem that [HyDE-CLI](https://hydeproject.pages.dev/guides/cli/#installation) tool is a newer and seemingly more effective approach.

+Continued to manage my digitised music, including Megadeth, Ozzy Osbourne, Bryan Adams and The Offspring.

+## Hyperland
+
+Some valuable fixes and updates were recently added to the [:fontawesome-brands-github: HyDE](https://github.com/HyDE-Project/HyDE) project which improves the rich desktop environment that HyDE configures on top of Hyprland.
+
+Pulling updated commits and rerunning the `Scripts/install.sh` script did update all the Hyprland related configs but left the desktop in a broken state.
+
+The HyDE Git Org also includes the [HyDE-CLI](https://hydeproject.pages.dev/guides/cli/#installation) tool which seems a newer and seemingly more effective approach. HyDE-CLI provides a terminal UI (TUI) allowing a simple way to select themes and other options.
+
+As HyDE-CLI is a TUI it can be run on a pure terminal session, e.g. `Ctrl+Alt F3`, especially useful as I could not run a terminal after logging into Hyprland session.
+
+I did have to removed `.config/hypr` directory and reran `Hyde-install` so that the install ran correctly and provided a working desktop environment.

+Thank you.
