Saturday, Shenanigans Ensue

I'm doing a compy swap for Miss Chaos, which means taking her TempoCompy(tm) to Adorable's, making sure her old compy works, and then taking the old compy home and leaving Adorable with the TempoCompy. Which is now the fam's TempoCompy. For all the assorted temporary computer needs. Huzzah.

Which leaves Mayhem baking the second batch of bread and doing... experiments with it. Fun. I'll find out how that went when I get home. Either way, we eat the results.

And, because stress, I have forgotten so many things I needed for the journey. Which has not helped regarding my concerns about my mental capacity.

Stress makes all of that fucking worse. Anti-Huzzah.

I have PLNs to distance myself from TubeTube and encourage the creators I love to move their stakes too. They never made a cent out of me, but if they stop making money out of the bigger names, then they MIGHT get to have a concern.

Beats changing my avatar to a Clippy.

Story at some point in the future. IDEK

Wednesday, Rant, Shopping, Boycott YouTube cha cha cha

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

Sunday, Catching up, Archive Reads, and Other Things

I've written the story for the next Archive prompt. I've posted the meme for yesterday in Blahaj.zone. I'm about to write today's tale and work on tomorrow's video.

After a week of snippets and little patches, I have finished a chapter of ADT. Huzzah. Also good news - Toasty has finished Escape From Divinity but I don't have the freedom to watch it just yet. Because the Archive stream is still going.

The bread I spent three days making is looking

Saturday, Social Time is Very Important Darling

Spent most of today in very good company as the process of investigating Chaos' computer issues got properly unriddled. Diagnosis - one of her compy cooling fans wasn't.

She now has a temporary computer to see her over to the time in which the original is fixed. This will also help various server downtimes with our personal infrastructure. Or having backup systems when we need them.

And I do confess to spending some of the time I could have been writing in

Friday, Physio, Bread, and Leyland's Tour

I'm going off to have my heels hammered today. On the way back, I'm stopping at Costco, Dickson's, and Aldi. For a very pliable definition of "on the way back".

I'm also wrangling bread.

So today is definitely going to be "fun".

Added to this "fun" is the fact that Chaos' compy is not playing nice. I have to pack it up and haul it down to Adorable's tomorrow. Which means I'll also be packing up a cold pack, an ice brick,

Wednesday, Rant Due, Videos, and Burnout

I am feeling exhausted from the moment I get out of bed, so I know I need a breather. I'm spending today, tomorrow, and the day after wrangling a double batch of bread and holy shit, I need a holiday.

If I record and edit Friday's video today, I can take tomorrow at ease. Or relative ease. I've given myself so much to do that I have to really juggle time in order to take time off.

Something's got to break, and

Monday, Yoiks and Away

Hi ho, off to work Mayhem goes. Then I have to do the backup reads, some recordings and videos to wrangle, and shopping to do. And bread to bake.

As well as the usual offerings unto the temple of notes, icing my ankle every two hours, and maybe getting some selfish time at the end of the day.

I'm going to try to at least put one sentence into ADT while I'm there.

Stick a broom up my bum and I can

Thursday, Shopping Day and Physio Tomorrow

We need eggs. We need a few other things... but not so much as last week. I'm going to have to rouse Chaos because Mayhem doesn't want to be involved. But I still need help to get stuff so... whatevs.

Miss Chaos has to learn to do stuff and be reliable and this is a perfect window of opportunity for that.

It might be a pain in both our arses, but she really needs to learn. Our girl can't coast for the

Wednesday, Rant Due and Video Things

I figure that, if I edit on the days between posting day, then I have extra time windows to manage that thing. So I'm recording a thing today and wrangling stuff tomorrow so I can post on Friday.

I'm also doing a thing on my rant blog and I think I shall rave and recommend (surprising nobody) K-Pop Demon Hunters. I have a lot of love to share about it. And some words to spend on the best character in the whole

Saturday, Parkrun, Bad Ankle, and Sundry Nonse

I had to sit out parkrun because my ankle is still playing up. I may not be on my feet next week but I can hope. Thanks to that, I got the idea of gaining a camp stool to hold my bad foot up in relative comfort.

It's working gangbusters, by the way.

That, and some tabletop gaming took up a lot of my day. I don't mind. My social battery got a top-up and I am grateful.

Other business included getting

Tuesday, Patreon and Nonsense

I have things to share with the nice people funding a fraction of my lifestyle. I have video content to catch up on making.

I have a game to refine, including making sure that the popups stay within the game board space, minimising whitespace, and making certain the highlights are present. Then I push that as Beta 1.01 before wrestling with the tutorial nonsense.

I have an ankle brace that came without instructions, so I'm working out the best way to

Tuesday, Patreon, Experts, and Shopping

I may have been contacted by another scammer on Bluesky, but I'm recognising the pattern now.

Step 1: Alleged fellow author contacts me
Step 2: We talk shop for a bit
Step 3: They mention their amazing friend who's a marketing expert and will for sure help people notice my books
Step 4: They provide a contact detail for their amazing friend
Step 5: If pushed, they provide some proof of their prowess that might pass cursory inspection by someone who doesn't

Monday, Writer's Group and Stuff

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

Wednesday, Surprise Bread Deficit and Further PLNs

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
