Cammy's Big Rambly Journal

Hello! I notice you're using Netscape (or other CSS-noncompliant user agent—in which case, consider this an easter egg) to view this journal. Because Netscape is so titanically shit, I have disabled image viewing on Netscape specifically. If I didn't, you would notice random images being replaced with each other and similar such strangeness. The posts are still visible, but you'll be missing the images, which are half the context of these posts.

You should use RetroZilla if you can; it runs on Windows 95 and up and gives you a perfect cammy.somnol viewing experience, plus more comfortable Web browsing on retrocomputers in general. Failing that, Internet Explorer 3 (which amusingly also displays this message, since it doesn't support the display CSS property) and up will also work perfectly fine for seeing my journal posts.

The update is complete

This took way longer than it should've


And the aboveground/belowground update is complete. I held out for months because of that aboveground graphic with Bunny and Setter (drawing my girl! scary!), but then I came up with an even cuter and most importantly simpler way to draw it and now I adore it.

I've actually got site content for you finally! This is the first section I completed for the site, a look into all of my consoles and tech gadgets as the list grows, and it's been done for, again, months, just sitting and waiting to be uploaded. There's nothing quite ready in the underground section just yet, but I already have one page's header (the one on MP3 encoders) lined and drawn, just gotta color it and shade it. Same goes for some more of the aboveground section; pages are written, they just need the graphics.

By no means is this cammy.somnol completed to my liking, but at least it's not embarrassingly far behind like it's been since early this year. I should just be able to do it one page at a time now.

If you're looking for some more art from me, try this kitty girl I adopted from Caby! She drew her based on a Beanie Baby (don't know what her name originally was, I've taken to calling her Miranda), and I just loved the design too much to let someone else have it or to sit unused in a FurAffinity submission. I'm aiming to have her be the mascot to an archives redesign I wanna do later in the year, now that the thing is fuckin' bursting at the seams with content, none of which has a visual guide to browsing it, nor context beyond a version number...

(I've been loving the shit out of this pseudo-watercolor style thing. It makes my stuff look so much more legit, it's cute, and it's so easy. You just shade with the colors and leave the highlights white. Actual life hack.)

Speaking of archives, if you want a little shortlist of cool stuff to see on it, have something else that was lying around that I just finished today! A group blog post on five cool things you should revisit (or visit for the first time, potentially!) on the Somnolescent Archives. Telling you, I have a lot started that's cooking up, and now that it's starting to roll out, you can expect a real nice avalanche from me like old times.

I'm feeling so much freer now that I'm just doing everything again like I used to (oh also no job, that helps). Everything's exciting me again! Jake and Connor are now in Somnol! Eight hour group calls every week! Good times, gamers. We'll talk more soon.
