There's been an odd lack of feedback about my Neocities after sharing a link to it on ...I'm going to interpret the silence to mean that my Neocities site is so bad that nobody wants to say anything lol 🤣

@noellemitchell Neocities is radio silence for me. Been there a year and a half under an alias, lots of page views (apparently), but like, no interaction.

Why do people still use ? 😩

@noellemitchell Because they're some combination of lazy, uncurious, and/or fine with everything going on there.

I'm sorta working on a poem based on an afternoon in a little coffeeshop in Old Montreal a quarter century ago, and I'm sorta working on a triplets-over-eighths Glass-style piano piece for SotW. I'm sorta working out plans to have friends over for fondue tomorrow night, and if my life is quiet, and I think it is, well, my life is also good.

Re: Astrology, I wish I'd been prepared for just how many people fill the void religion used to occupy with star magic woo.

@orionkidder I gave up on that years ago. Arguing on the internet is a losing game

@krst Yeah, I learned about that in my intro Astronomy course decades ago. Ophiucus, and how it slots in near Sagittarius.

I've had a few Mastodon accounts. One of them seemed to run its course, so it's done. Keeping up with this one. May create another later, and this is what makes the Fediverse so good: identities are weaker, shorter-lived; you can be yourself or just pick a name and go. It feels the old net again.

@turgon You've overthinking it, it's not hard, just turn off your brain and go.

2-day poem contest done. We'll see, I guess. Feeling good about my piece this year, but, I say that most years.

Grateful now and forever for the bots that archived the things I never thought to

CV2 2-day poem contest time. Got most of my chores out of the way, just need to take Wally to the vet for some bloodwork and to pick up the dogs' heartworm meds. Then I brew some coffee and get crackalackin'

Worst workout in these past 6+ years of obsessively doing it---UTTERLY INEXPLICABLY lost about 40lbs worth of performance capability in an exercise....several months to nearly a year worth of progress just up in smoke despite all these advancements in the same and tangential areas over the past 2 months since I last dealt with this specific set on the rotation. WTF

juliancday,
@juliancday@writing.exchange avatar

@getter7seven Oh, I have days where it's like that. One week I could do 45+ pushups in my first set. And then the next week, just, gone.

juliancday,
@juliancday@writing.exchange avatar

@getter7seven Progress is non-linear. You'll get back there! And anyway, by just lifting things off the floor you're already ahead of just about everyone else, anyway.

Just woke up. My brain pulled up the name of a goth club I went to once in 1999. What on earth...

My big project, my lifelong-project, is the roguelike Shadow of the Wyrm. But I also have a little puzzle game I wrote a couple years ago at Christmas. The game is quinze (French for "fifteen"), and it's a 15-puzzle.

Today I noticed some build issues around the premake file and in calls to mvprintw. I've pushed fixes to these, incremented the version. Lucky 0.13!

If you're into console Linux gaming, maybe give it a try? You can find it at https://github.com/prolog/quinze

Can't explain it but this came up in Duo this morning, & is my favourite Irish word so far: Féinphic ("self-pic"), "selfie".

Watching the ball game with C. and the dogs, nursing a poor man's mocha (hot chocolate, instant coffee) while it rains hard outside. Just one of those nights where I'm thankful for how things turned out, for how I'm here.

The world's kind of shit right now, but I went for a long walk earlier, then chased my 13-year-old dog around the back yard as he just gave'er.

Met yesterday to do some editorial selection. Have been doing some composing.

Small things.

i have to mobygames credits. one is for my clint bitsy and one is for being a kickstarter backer on hypnospace outlaw. who sat down and typed up every single backer of that game. who the hell would want to know.

@IANMART1N I wake up. I check mobygames: I am credited as a composer on Skyrim. That's weird, I think, I don't remember ever —

My phone beeps. A notification. I'm late for a meeting. Morning standup? Bethesda?! I look around. I'm in the office. Everyone is waiting for me to speak. There's a PowerPoint, and it says, Any Questions? I'm wearing a speedo. I'm holding a ham sandwich.
