I'm in one of those dry spells with the journal right now where I'm not particularly into updating it. I should get back into it; lots has been going on. I guess it's the pileup that makes it overwhelming. Let's do a roundup quick with the last two hours of the month. nofi nofi is complete! I just need to draw a bunch more Alexis for it and it'll be finished. As of right now, though, all the pages are in place and they work great on Netscape 3.0. Your favorite retro browser will love it too. Read more
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
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
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
If that wasn't the longest pause on journal entries yet, it's probably close. I'm so out of practice with these! For a bit, it was because I genuinely didn't feel like updating it, and now I have a bit of a pileup of stuff to cover, so let's not let that put me off further. I'll split them up into sections. Let's go! Protoweb! I've already posted this literally everywhere, but my first Protoweb restoration has been accepted! I restored imax.com, circa 1998. It was in incredibly good shape for a Read more
Jesus Christ, that's a rabbit hole I don't wish to go down again. cammy.somnol now officially supports Internet Explorer 3 and up and Netscape 4 and up. And Mosaic for the most part, though it doesn't like my images. I seem to get caught up in these occasional 24 hour tech projects, like the 24 hour flu, y'know? It's entirely emotional, it's not rational, and realistically, there's no reason for this one—well, there might be. Also it's a fun story to tell. We have it really really good as Web Read more
Whoops, I fell asleep before I could write that post last night. Here's the fun stuff! So, I've said this many times now: whenever something creative I made becomes massive out of date, be it sites or stories, I have a hard time looking at it. The Somnolescent Gopher server absolutely, 100%, fit this criteria. The last time it was seriously updated was 2021, back when borb and mon were both still in the group. That's legitimately ancient. There were talks of making a GitHub repo and us Read more
Well, with four different people at work sick recently and my sister also having fallen ill, I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise I caught something too. Not too bad, thankfully—I have to keep clearing my throat, but as long as I do that, that doesn't hurt too much, and I feel fine otherwise. I was rather proud of myself for not having gotten sick the entirety of 2023, despite working two different retail establishments, being in four different airports several times and in close Read more
Happy new year, journal folks! Have been getting over the emotional holiday hangover, but I'm pretty close to full speed now. I've had a bunch of things to update the journal about, so to avoid spamming it with a bunch of smaller updates, I'm gonna split it into two bigger updates, one with projects and one with my leisurely pursuits: mari.somnol is officially parked I've had plans for mari.somnol for well over a year now (this journal just happens to be from eight months ago instead), so I Read more
Today marks one year of the journal, and thus, one year of cammy.somnol! I intentionally brought the site back up absolutely bare bones, with nothing except this journal, to see how it would grow on its own. It's been slow, but super rewarding. There's still a bunch of pages ready to go over on the home server beta site that just need a Setter in the header. This includes the score pages, the MIDI stockpile, and one of the timelines (though that one's inverted, the Setter is already done, I Read more
