The writer's group is meeting again and I'm waiting my turn to read mine. Then when that's done, I get on with commencing the video prep and the rest of my offerings.
Of course I already have a story for the Archive. I'm just Like That(tm).
Nothing too much going on beyond that. I think I shall attempt to do the cutscene art today. I have thought of ways to do some cheaty things and I shall see how that works today.
And, of course, recording it for B-roll.
Onwards and onwards...
I'm now following through on the instructions Beloved gave me to make Pseuducku live.
It's taking a bit of a while.
So while that's going on, I'm writing. Of course. Working on the entry for this upcoming week in the writer's group contest. Then moving on to the daily tale, and so on.
Today's little victory - I have bread in the freezer! This means I may have bread to last the week. Huzzah. I'll still prepare like I expect Chaos to
Read more »I now know what to do to get Pseuducku online. I also know what happens when I hit the maximum of the free sample queries.
It's not a thing to worry about. Thank grop.
With luck on my side and maybe digging up a spoon to spare, I should get something online tonight or tomorrow.
I'm betting on tomorrow because I'm already pretty much shredded today.
Let's get on with the offerings.
Read more »As mentioned earlier, I have a barely-functional edition of Pseuducku. I'm hoping the fam will have a plan for me to share that thing with you. If they tell me to ask Cursor, I'll mention that I'm running out of queries.
I've seen to the Catio already, I'm about to read a story for the vids, and I got half a chapter accomplished because I woke up at fuckoff AM again.
So it's the videos and the offerings today. And messing around
Read more »I have good news and bad news.
Good news - I have an Alpha version of Pseuducku.
Bad news - I have no idea how to release it.
So I'm taking a break from assisted coding until I can release the Alpha of Pseuducku. I can work on the "cutscenes" and dedication art, as well as the credits "page". I might even remember to record the process for my storytime B-roll collection.
I have the first loaf in the incubator and Mayhem
Read more »My cunning PLN has worked! Miss Chaos is slowing down on her ravenous sourdough consumption. She appreciates how much firkin work goes into each loaf. And there's food-with-instructions lying around so she's not starving.
She's just incredibly lazy.
Pan-fried toast is easier than a lot of meals she could be making. Faster, as well. The bread to make the pan-fried toast is a little bit more of a trial.
So I'm happy to do the second batch on my only while I
Read more »On the plus side, the kids like my bread. On the minus side, I have to make way more bread. Starting today.
I'm going to get Miss Chaos to do the majority of the nonsense. Because she eats a majority of the bread. And get more flour next shopping trip.
Maybe three batches of bread will last an entire firkin week. Or maybe the spawn will view it as a challenge. Only one way to find out.
So far, Miss Chaos views
Read more »The writing contest has an extra week, so the group has gathered together to bullshit at each other for a while.
I have a story to read, a story to write, a video to edit, the memes and doodl to contribute to the temple of notes.
Now that I have a starting point to return to, I can hope that the puzzle part of Pseuducku becomes a thing today.
I might even be able to publish an alpha version that's nominally function
Read more »We need stuff. We've run out of some stuff. And I only have so many hours in which to do everything.
I might have to go shopping tomorrow.
I'll try to get things done in time, but... no guarantees.
Costco opens at 10. Let's see how much can be done.
Read more »I have taught Chaos how to shape a loaf. We'll be trying again in about five hours when it's time to shape the next one. I might have to puppet her hands since watch-and-learn didn't quite cut it.
Today, I'm making another video, and passing another one on to TubeTube. And doing all the usual nonsense. When I get around to arguing with Cursor, I'll be focussing on the rest of the interface.
And believe me, working on Cursor feels a lot
Read more »I spent a lot of time debugging game layout in Cursor, yesterday. The plus side is that I have most of the layout organised. Today, amongst the many other things I have PLN'd, I am double-dosing the bread ritual. I have the starter incubating as the first loaf proofs.
I'm going to be juggling timers today. One for the oven, one for the dough. And tomorrow, I cook even more bread.
All so the kids and I have enough bread for our
Read more »The good news is: the kids really enjoy my bread. The bad news is that I have to make WAY more of it to see me through the week.
So I'm preparing one batch of dough today, making another batch tomorrow while I'm baking the first tomorrow, and baking the second one the day after.
I'm also doing a story video, today.
And the usual nonsense that y'all will see on my various socials. I'll get it done, for sure. The system
Read more »There's a mob giving our roof an inspection for hail damage. It's free, but I can see the fishhook from a mile off. They're going to recommend a total roof overhaul with their special company, and find a way to get extra money beyond the $500 they promise to cover in addition to whatever the insurance is going to spring for.
I will ask for it all in writing and then forward that to Beloved for the yae or nae.
Today, my
Read more »I have people coming around to inspect the roof for hail damage (free) in half an hour. I have to chase Chaos to get ready for a public appearance so we can both get Flu and Rona jabs.
I might as well top up supplies while we're out, 'cause there's no telling how down we're going to be afterwards. Then I go home and work on my offerings, including manually reworking the subtitles for Friday's video because the alternative is subtitles that
Read more »I'm starting to enjoy having weekends to relax in. Even though this half of it might also involve finally doing the subtitles for the storytime video on Peertube for yesterday.
It might not. There have been embuggerances this time around.
I'll get there.
And speaking of getting there, Chaos and I are getting Flu and Rona shots tomorrow. I thoroughly suspect I will be down for the count for next week.
Thoroughly prepared to be VERY gentle with myself next week.
I've
