I've been seriously all over the place lately. I've just decided to start doing absolutely everything that comes to mind, y'know, be an impulsive little shit about making stuff like I'm always tempted to do, and here's how that's going. I've got two First Draft posts scheduled to the blog! First Draft was a series I was writing for Letters about early and alternate versions of albums, the first one having dropped back in February on the Dandy Warhols' Come Down predecessor, The Black Album. I Read more
I spent maybe way too much time today on a project that will actually be unveiled in September, so let's talk instead about me having to replace all my shit! So in the interests of full disclosure, I've had my setup for roughly ten years now. I know! I've really been interested in making this iMac, this keyboard and mouse, and this optical drive work for me for as humanly long as possible, and it more than went through its paces. I was wondering if it'd last to the ten year mark and I'm pretty Read more
Of course, right as I switch to using a journal engine that can be automatically posted to the group chat through a bot, we start toying with another chat service where our resident chat bot doesn't quite work right... oh well! I was warming up with my own tablet again drawing a Setter last night, and he wound up becoming a site graphic for a page I made before I left, a behind-the-scenes look at how I make cammy.somnol and some of the aesthetic choices for why I've made it the way I have. I'm Read more
I mentioned the other day I was looking at a flat-file, low-overhead PHP blogging platform called HTMLy as a way to automate a bunch of shit for this journal. We're on it, baby. Lemme explain in slightly less hurried, delirious detail why I've chosen to do so. So before now, all journal posts were written as raw HTML directly into Notepad++. No AutoSite, no automation at all, just what I wrote is what you see. That worked fine, but it became a gradually bigger pain in the ass month after month. Read more
Welcome to a weird future! RetroZilla didn't know how to handle the admin panel, but Firefox ESR 52.9.0 on XP can do it just fine. This makes it a fairly viable solution for blogging on XP and Vista, and possibly even 2000. Writing themes, as far as I can tell, is as simple as WordPress; there's a PHP "loop" for post formatting, and I think you can do custom HTML per post type (which there's basically every post type that Tumblr has, which is nostalgic). I suppose this would've been really good Read more
