Monday, Leyland's Tour, Backup Reads, and Stream

My days are just packed. On Saturday, we were all over everywhere, and one of the things acquired for Adorable could not be juggled on the train.

So I took Beloved and the stuff on a lengthy drive through rush-hour wet-weather traffic. Whee fun.

Obviously, I made it out alive, but holy cheez whiz... some folks just believe they can clip through other cars without harm.

As Da would say, the weather got into the sawdust in their skulls.

The writing group backup reads are on, in their new home - A Moth in the Archive. Which is also the prompt we're reading today.

At a later point, I shall be running a stream, and I hope to remember to let all my socials know about it.

Fingers crossed it all goes well.

And then I do all the side-project stuff.

Tuesday, Patreon, Shopping, and the Big Move

[AN: Forgot to publish this last Tuesday. Whoops]

I'll be putting my new writing rants on my new blogging site tomorrow. I've removed the link to Wordpress in my menu. It's been replaced by my new blog centre.

I think I'm capable of moving five old blog entries a day. Since I've been blogging on Wordpress since 2017, that's going to take me a while.

The good news is that I can back-date the archival stuff, so the move will be imperceptible

Thursday, Aiming for Progress

I shall be delving into further education in Stencyl today. Not doing programming, but doing learning. Working out how to do a thing rather than making said thing go.

Not a lot of visible progress there.

I'll be moving five more blog entries out of Wordpress and into my new blogging site as well.

And the regular series of offerings, of course.

...which I'm now doing single-handedly because Jolie demands the company of my left hand.

I might be able to get

Monday, Moving and Sundry

No, I am not moving house. I am moving my Wordpress blog to new digs. I shall be replacing everything on my Wordpress with a screed against using stuff to feed LLM's without gaining permission nor paying the original artist.

But I gotta do the stream for this week before I get on with the big move.

Which is happening soon, because administrivia on various things has absorbed ALL of my morning.

This techno-luddite is trying to trust things again, and the

Saturday, Parkrun, Dune, and PLNs for Tomorrow

Did the parkrun pretty well. Then I got the announcement that we're watching Dune 2 tomorrow. Which means I had to watch Dune 1. Which, because time windows, meant watching a copy we just happened to have at Adorable's place.

And that's why I'm writing this blog at 3PM.

I have to bake my bread, but there's not enough time in the rest of today to do two loaves. Because preheating and proofing time.

I'm keeping half the dough refrigerated and sincerely

Thursday, Date Night of Sorts?

Beloved has a Business Thing(tm) that involves a dinner and company, so I'm fancying myself up and meeting her and Adorable at place where we will go do thing.

So my priorities are to get my offerings out as soon as possible whilst also somehow ticking a side project off my little list.

I'll be checking an album whilst I work on a flash fiction, in case you're wondering.

Chapter Count: Just completed ch 384

I'm still looking for a refuge

Wednesday, Wordpress Moving?

I do not like the idea of having my hard work being used by some lazy-arse ideas person who can't be bothered to do their own firkin writing. Ideas people have been the bane of creative types since time immemorial. All generative AI is doing is cutting the conversations out of "I have an idea."

The good news is: it might be dying very soon.

I'm still determined to move my rants out of Wordpress and into somewhere else, but the move

Saturday, Parkrun and PLNs Disrupted

I was supposed to take Beloved home with me, today. Alas, her meds have "stepped up" and she was literally throwing up on the ride to Adorable's place. So I could not do that.

I allegedly get her to share my air tomorrow. Which, in turn, has cancelled my D&D game tomorrow morning. All so I can be conscious in time for her to come to me.

Last time we made that arrangement, the plans fell through.

The good news

Friday, Tentative PLNs

I am going to gradually move all my Wordpress nonsense over to indieweb.org and that means I might have to gather some scratch to fund the hosting. Because Indy people need help to go pro.

BUT I'm not doing that today. Today, I'm cleaning out the catio before getting on with the day's offerings. At some point, I will sort some vinyl.

I've hit an impasse with the Invaders game on Stencyl, in that the bullets are not hitting anything they

Thursday, Stencyl PLNs

I have instructions. I am going to do things to work with them. This may or may not be a breakthrough. It should at least get me moving onwards with the next exercise in learning how the thing works.

I am not going to be an expert in record time. Maybe the world's record for world's slowest programming student. We shall see.

Learn how it works, first. Figure out how to program the game, later.

My first loaf turned out to be

Saturday, No Parkrun, But...

I have Beloved with me and a relaxed attitude towards carbs until she goes back to Adorable on Monday morning.

I shall be making my offerings and doing my weird things and henceforth being absent from the interwebs so I can share airspace with her.

There will be the D&D stream tomorrow morning and -for me- a lot of lazing around and intermittent work on anything of significance.

Since I'm excited about A Devil's Tale again, that means I shall

Friday, Meds PLNs

I finally got my pregnenolone delivery in. Tracking information not available in the process.

My PLN is to create this day's offerings [remembering to do the starting sentence thing this time] and then get me to the Post Office locker where my meds are waiting.

And then I can relax about being properly medicated.

Beloved is coming to stay for the weekend, this afternoon (all being well) and my PLN is to spend as many hours as possible in her presence.

If

Saturday, Interference With PLNs

Parkrun is flooded. Beloved is laid low with her meds. I am staying on the Keto Wagon for all the hours that my Beloved is not with me.

I got some Stencyl refinements in, but there's little things that still annoy me about the final product.

I did try to get the ship to be hurt when the enemy hits them, but things are going askew with that. For example: My player ship spontaneously blew up on the last test.

Solve later.

Friday, Let Me Check My Notes

Day firkin FOUR of my GD cyclone headache and at least the painkillers are helping. My bread turned out a little bit doughy and I think I know where I went wrong.

I forgot one of my folding processes just before the long proof.

Then again, I was very much disorganised this week. Distracted, diverted, and delayed in almost all my PLNs.

This effort of bread has way more visible chia in it because the chia I bought has a lot of

Tuesday, Patreon, Tyres, and More Delays

I was planning to start on new bread today. Have some nice fresh loaves by tomorrow night. That's delayed.

Because I am getting the TYRES!

For way less than the price my Beloved gave me. And that even includes some service for the others. Huzzah.

All for less than the initial price of one tyre that I was given. Bonus.

On the other hand, I have my day split because those new tyres are going in close to midday. Hooray.

I will
