Chloroform Days - Cammy's journal from the end of the Multiverse

The twelve shards of data retention
September 21, 2023

Ever since the Fusion Drive Crash of 2019, I've been eternally paranoid about losing stuff. It sticks in my head at all times. I refuse to ever lose data ever again. I've been making random copies of stuff I feel like I'm gonna lose on random drives for years now, on top of the DVD-R site backups I already do and my two externals filled with random garbage I've been using since late 2019. Of course, a backup solution is only as good as your ability to find anything in it, and I've just had shit Read more

It's not for the season
September 18, 2023

One of those fabled long-term Cammy projects has just appeared on the group blog: a First Draft entry focusing on last year's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot boxset, exactly 22 years after that album streamed for the first time on wilcoworld.net. I wrote the majority of this thing back in June, and with that anniversary just a few months off, I knew I had to hold it for today. Paired with that is a boxset and bootleg reference on cammy.somnol, showing you the overlap between each set of Wilco demos. Going Read more

9-9
September 09, 2023

(Conversation fear.) Let's do a site content update, because it's been a bit. I finished up that Setter and I'm starting to get my photo galleries online! I've got two for you so far, shots from some of my local parks and scenes from the West End Fair, which is a week-long gathering in my area for produce, animals, crafts, history, and lots of fried desserts. You'll wanna see the rabbits especially. I do have more galleries I wanna put together—one for the zoo trip I took back during Read more

Cabytember!
September 05, 2023

Hope everyone's September is going swell so far. I'm really keeping my head down and working a lot, and it's paying off. Customers dropping $2200 my store in one go tonight. My manager was impressed, and after I learned he's just hard to read and doesn't actually hate me, I've been a ton more comfortable in my job—and I mean, that's what you need in retail, to feel good and be able to chirp at customers. It helps that I'm a lot more excited about what I'm selling now than I was about Read more

eMachines Box update!
August 28, 2023

So, as you've probably seen in some of the photos I've been posting lately, the eMachines Box finally has its own setup. I already had the PS/2 keyboard that went to this machine, and I bought a cheap wired mouse from work partially because I needed another mouse, partially because I needed a spare even after I upgrade this one, and partially because the cheapness of the mouse seems to complement the low-end nature of the eMachines Box anyway. I also needed to get an extra long ethernet cable Read more
