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 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 »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 »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

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
Read more »I am not working on ADT nor Pseuducku today. I'm also not working on them tomorrow. That is something of a relief, as I need a break from my own expectations.
Burnout prevention is very important.
Mayhem got a start on the first loaf, and I'll be finishing it off and working on the second one later today.
The offerings should be happening shortly.
...probably slower because a cat just settled on my left hand.
Read more »I have starter in the incubator because Chaos has discovered the magic of pan-fried bread. Looks like I'll be making bread on a weekly basis. Maybe even bi-weekly. I aim to finish one chapter of ADT this week, and I want to make some significant progress on Pseuducku.
Then there's the usual daily offerings, the video production, and maybe even some time for myself.
I also have a catio to clean, which I will be getting to the instant this blog is
Read more »Yesterday was pretty much a wash. Most of my time was exhausted in spinning my wheels. I have a lot more time today now that I've got an idea of where I'm going.
Fingers crossed, I have something of a prototype by tomorrow. Because tomorrow... I have to start bread again.
Yes, my lovely readers, both the kids have discovered the wonders of fried toast. So it looks like I'll be making bread once a week.
Not a bad thing, to be

Today is going to SUUUUUUCK...
I'll be recording a story for the videos, editing and posting an older story for TubeTube, and talking to my fellow writers in the Archives.
According to my internet investigations, the best place to get Rona jabs is Priceline Pharmacy, so that's where I'll be calling tomorrow before I stop by. I'll even ask the kids to get their refresher needle too.
My primary focus is

Beloved uses it for coding and I've been shown how terrifyingly good it is at doing that. And if I want Pseuducku to be playable this decade... I'll have to do that.
I still don't know how ethical it is, but... it's here to stay. If Beloved trusts it to write code, I
Read more »I almost forgot to finish off the video I made myself have due, last night. But I made myself get up and finish it, and then post it. Which means that I am free and clear to start sharing on my socials.
Next week, I record a little outro advertising my Peertube posts earlier than whenever they find them on TubeTube.
Maybe it'll work. It's worth a shot.
But my lovely followers get the Peertube video before TubeTube does.
I have to
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
