We. Need. Stuff.
I also need to write a rant, write a story, and work on other stories. With or without consultation involving a fellow writer.
My ankle objected to taking Mayhem out to work so I need to put on the brace before I take off on the usual Leyland's Tour. At least the list is short and the economic load is light this time. Huzzah.
Stuff coming out whenever I manage to get it done, of course.
I shall ice my ankle, wrap my ankle, and then launch when the next alarm goes off.
I overspent again just making sure we had adequate supplies. Much though I'd love to pull my head in, we do run out of stuff.
And Mayhem has the Lurgi. It's so bad he's asked for "Shandy" - my horrible concoction of an omnicure. I made sure he also has a source of chicken soup.
In a few minutes, I shall begin making my offerings public. Starting with the storytime video. I have a co-op story to get on with, the rant
Read more »I really wanna start playing Death Stranding... but I have offerings to make. And a son to drive to public transit. And fetch back at the end of the day.
So I shall make an effort to make an effort before slagging off to shiny distraction land. With life interrupting, of course.
The new prompt is out on the Archive and I got in first, huzzah. Thought of some questions shortly after posting so I'll see how I go there.
I've got
Read more »I just posted today's Peertube video, I think I might rant about technology this week. Old fool yells at cloud. Again. Maybe when remember-when-tech-was-good palaver.
Slop and mush and reheated rebooted, revamped retro nostalgia. New ideas are scary.
I could have a go at how relative "fire bad" attitudes are.
Just looked up the quote. It's "Technology bad, fire scary, Thomas Edison was a witch." So I'll paraphrase if I get there.
But first - the fiction.
Read more »The car is getting serviced. Yay. It's going to CO$T. Boo. We have the money. Yay. But I also need to be able to hear the doorbell so I can't do any of the social calls on Discord with my fellow writers. Boo.
Win some, lose some.
I hope to get some screencaps with which I hope to settle some discourse over K-Pop Demon Hunters that's been going on.
Other than that, the usual nonsense shall be commencing shortly.
Read more »I have the first loaf of the second batch proofing in the incubator, the ovens warming up for the baking. I am now paranoid as to whether or not I have everything set up for the baking. I'll check that out when I go to ice my ankle again.
Already refined half a chapter - yay. Managed a little bit more of the fanfic I have going on in spite of my efforts to control myself.
I did finally try Fuse and
Read more »Technically, I am very productive today. I have caught up with video production. I've written another half a chapter [at something close to 1AM]. I have five chapters to read for Adorable, the daily offerings, the rant, and maybe some free time for myself yet to do.
I now have an invidious account by which to avoid giving metrics to YouTube. As far as they're concerned, I'm just not there any more.
The next step is waiting for my world-class unfuckerer sorting
Read more »It's the 13 so I am staying off TubeTube today and tomorrow. In solidarity with all the other folks protesting the bloody stupid AI age limit thing.
And to add to that, I shall be doing a little something against Collective Shout. The regrettable mob of wowsers and pearl-clutchers that I happen to share a country with. Like most regrettable groups, they sometimes have a decent point. Age limiting TubeTube or forcing credit card companies to avoid income is not going to
Read more »I am definitely doing a "Reasons To Love" this week. A total enthusiasm about season one is a bit overdue.
I am attempting to operate without the ankle brace, today. I have it nearby, just in case.
I've finished another five chapters of ADT so there's more recordings in my future. There's going to be one hell of an upload for Adorable when I have that avenue to share those things.
The longer it takes to stabilise that avenue of communication, the
Read more »My USB power hub expired last night. Fun times. Now I have one of those added to my list. I have to stop off in several more places than originally planned.
I have my knees and ankle re-enforced, yay, but as I was getting my doses together, my right hip decided to add to the fun times.
...yay...
My PLNs include fortifying my funds with a visit to the local Cash-4-Cans place. Just to have that little bit extra. If we need
Read more »The good news is that all I have to do for the videos is edit the subtitles. It's a lighter load this time.
I tried to get Cursor to do things yesterday and all I got was the Cursor answer to the Spinny Wheel of Doom. Looks like I wasn't logged in to the website that makes it go. Grr. I'm still counting it as working on Pseuducku.
And I have a thing to write for the rant today. I don't know
Read more »Finally got Pseuducku up and onto a host. Now I'm testing to make sure it functions properly. If all continues to be well, there will be a link appearing in this site.
Unriddling little glitches continues to be an issue, I guess.
Today's PLNs include another rant, possibly about the unavoidability of AI.
I just got it working. You can see it here.
My next step is figuring out how to edit locally until I'm satisfied with the next version.
I
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 »Today... I am learning a thing with the help of the QPP. I am learning to use a program that does the programming for me. My absolute dream since I was always pants at programming.
I'd follow the instructions, do everything by the book... and end up with a dev/null error in line zero. Or some other fatal error.
It's been that way since I tried learning to program in the beginning.
Part of today's experiment is seeing how my fickle
Read more »I don't know what I'm going talk about this week. Maybe state of the WIP, maybe state of the Author. Maybe a little bit of both. Maybe something about my new video editing work.
I dunno, but I'm doing it first.
It's the only way I can be certain it gets done at all. I can't do a "Reasons to Love" on Murderbot: The Series because I'm still evaluating it on its own merits. I'm running out of stuff that can be
