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
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
I've had a bit of a second wind with mari.somnol recently! There was talk on Aftersleep about other people implementing theme switchers on their sites, and it reminded me I put up something similar on hifi and then only gave people two themes to play with. I've now added two more and made a whole ton of improvements to how the style selector works as a whole and how the site loads assets based on the current theme. As one of those projects I intended to get back to when I had more time (and now Read more
If you've known me for a very long time, we're talking the teen years, and even then, you had to be close to me—okay, so basically, only Savannah knows, but still—I've actually had OC ideas and ambitions since I was 14, but a lack of drawing ability really kept me from sharing them widely. I tried to write them, but nobody reads that shit and it wasn't very good anyway. Even since I learned to draw, there's been a certain fear I've had of actually designing them for whatever reason. 2025 marks Read more
hifi finally went live two days ago. I've honestly been looking at it all day, on every single computer, phone, and device I can get in my hands. I'm not just thrilled, I'm satisfied. There's still lots to be done, but I've reclaimed a huge part of the way I present myself to the world, one that's been a two year plus process. I'm still pretty beat from another forty hour work week, and I've been misspelling every word I type here, so I'll keep this brief. (Update from post-writing: I did not Read more
Journal! Why have I forsaken you. I don't particularly want to dump a load of really personal shit out onto the Internet, but I have been going through one of the most unstable mental health episodes I've ever experienced. My mood has been a fucking yo-yo. For extra hilarity, I also decided to start a strict diet and temporarily quit drinking to gain some mental clarity, and while I ultimately think those were a good call, short term, I am down two things that I quite enjoyed in a period of Read more
I have had this unexplainable sense of impending doom over the past week or so. It always gets disproven, I know these thoughts are usually pretty silly, and I've experienced enough emotional upset in my life to learn to ignore it pretty well. Still, vividly imagining my getting terminated at work or spending this morning pondering how all my backups would be completely fucked in the case of a house fire, of course. (Tossing out all my working creative methods to try and make it easier on Read more
Y'know, it still feels incredibly weird to refer to myself as having mental health issues. I think it comes from years of having enemies trying to fuck with me and me going "well, I'm not about to give you the satisfaction of watching me suffah". In all truth, mine are not so bad I can't get up and go to work and have hobbies and friends, but sometimes we careen between the rabbit and the hare ends of the spectrum, to use a niche reference. Fuck all that though. hifi is being built! hifi is the Read more
I had to do some bugfixing of my album reviews section this morning (had to do with artist altnames, which were still buggy), so I took the opportunity to lay some groundwork for some features I wanna implement and polish up some of what was already there. You see, now that I have over a hundred of these things and no intentions of stopping any time soon, I want to turn it from a simple "Cammy talks about albums" section into a way to turn people on to stuff they like outside of simply my Read more
So because I gotta remember that all the people who see what I do only see about 10% of it each, let's start off with some news: this evening, we started streaming Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves! Given that I was able to get through the first two, it felt wrong not to finish off the trilogy, and now that I have consistent days off from work, here we are! It wasn't as exciting or high energy as I would've liked, I was a little out of it, folks were a little sleepy, but that's okay, they get like Read more
