If you head out to any flavor of mari.somnol now, you'll see a story! Potentially more, by the time you're reading this! If you caught the previous post I did on my DocBook story build system, you know that it's been kind of a gigantic process already. It took another gigantic process to get it over the finish line, but I'm happy to say that I've hit all the targets I wanted to: one script to build six different versions of each story from a single double-click. I then put the output into my Read more
Like I said the other day, I've got a small pileup of books—mostly music books, but with a few oddball topics on there as well—that general lack of time and patience has kept me from digging into. Cold anything is a hard proposition, but especially cold reading. Just picking up a book and starting, I dunno, it's not something I normally find myself in the habit of. Desertbound on Kindle did get me going though, and I'm eager to keep it going. I must've been in a Barnes and Noble last year with Read more
Earlier today, my mom told me of a local flea market with metric shittons of vinyl and CDs going for cheap, and well, it reminded me that I hadn't even opened my previous cheap CDs, let alone catalogued them. (40 hour menial job work weeks are nightmarish, turns out.) Let's do that quick. Here's some CDs, DVDs, records, and games I bought this spring that I've yet to show off on here. Quick notes and stories on some of these: Most of the CDs came from a store called FYE (like FYI, but For Your Read more
I have finished reading Desertbound! That's Savannah's still in-progress Pinède novel. She hasn't been too loud about it publicly, but believe me, it's a whopper—and contradicting that, also just a nice, tidy little adventure novel. I have a pretty unique perspective on it, partially because it stars (massively overhauled versions of) some of the characters she was kicking around back when I first met her, and we were just two awkward and sad preyed on teenagers that grouped under this Read more
I've had the idea kicking around for a few months now, but it's finally come time to put it into action: stories deployed on all three of my websites from a single source file. The issue with nofi/lofi/hifi is that it takes some novel ideas to synchronize content across all three. Even though my stories don't change a whole lot once they're posted, the fact that I need to maintain three different versions of the markup for each (owing to nofi using no CSS and lofi and hifi using different CSS), Read more
