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

Returning home
May 17, 2024

Lots more work on nofi.mari.somnol has occurred since my last blog post! We're getting fairly close to having everything moved over from the old site—only the modding section really remains. Even better is that, with the stories and, in a bit, music sections implemented, this is actually not just more fully featured than mari@macintosh.garden was, it's actually everything I wanted on mari.somnol implemented. Like, that's it. I was pondering some kind of Web design gallery, showing off some of Read more

Kevin and Theo is now up for reading!
May 13, 2024

So as I move further into getting nofi.mari.somnol filled out, I realize that I've been putting off a story section. Stories used to be a huge part of the mari.somnol stew, but it's been so long since I've written anything now that bringing stuff that old back feels a bit unflattering. I was still growing as a person and also just plain gaining confidence in my work. When you're scared of failing, you don't do things to the greatest extent you could have. You don't sing loud, you don't draw Read more

PHP has won my heart
May 10, 2024

Hello, journal people! I haven't really been updating this because there's kinda been a dearth of coherent Cammy updates. I can say I'm definitely doing better than my low point last month. No buts! Definitely feeling a lot better. It just hasn't resulted in a ton of stuff rolling off the line that I feel the urge to talk about. Now, though, I have some. I return to my kingdom of webshit to discuss the thing that has reinvigorated my interest in making websites, and that's PHP. I fuckin' love Read more

Distant depots
April 28, 2024

Ah, it feels good to be busy again. I said I'd do this journal post two days ago, but then I got working on starting up the ACNES compatibility list project again, I'm streaming again tonight, I've been chatting with people and actually enjoying it again (protip, mute and hide all the channels you're not interested in in any public Discord you're a part of and your life will instantly feel less cluttered) and I've been going on walks again. Every period of being antisocial comes with a burst of Read more

Disillusionment
April 26, 2024

This past week, and really the month as a whole, has been odd. Frankly, I was wondering if any of this making-stuff-and-posting-it-online business was still worth it. To be clear, it's been a mixture of things—the 25 year itch (I'll be 25 in June), folks in Somnolescent being busy or stressed out with life on their own, alternating indecision and disinterest in my art and writing, my own struggle at finding a job—but the last straw, and where this affects the Internet, a place I'd really like Read more
