Yesterday I whiled away my afternoon touching up my CSS skills. I took the general look (and some specific graphics) from the default Phorum template, Emerald, and turned it into a skin for the Twine Encyclopaedia. I ran into some trouble with margin collapsing, but I got it sorted. The result is, I think, pretty good; what do you thinkI am very ( Read more... )

I haven't written anything on my little roleplay-lite story since last week. I've been sick (though it's down to an occasional sniffle by now) and apparently, when something eats into my energy and free time, writing is the part of my life that takes the hit ( Read more... )

My computer is having a good day today. So far it's only frozen up once. If that holds, it'll be the all-time record. For comparison, yesterday was three times; Thursday was eight before I stopped bothering to tally them ( Read more... )

I've been procrastinating, just now, by going through my internet bookmarks at random. One such page was archived from years gone by. I saw a familiar name, clicked it, and unexpectedly found myself reading what appears to be the real-life name of an online friend from back then.

Curious, I plugged it into Google.

I tried playing the demo of Undertale and found myself firmly ambivalent: I appreciate a lot about what the game is trying to do. Also, I sort of want to light it on fire and watch it burn to ash, then scatter the ashes so it can never mess with me again.

Yesterday, my 3DS flashed a green light, meaning it was exchanging StreetPass data with another 3DS system. It's not like I've never StreetPassed before; my husband, brother, and several other people I know all have their own 3DSes, and I make sure to visit StreetPass relay points from time to time. But StreetPassing someone I've never met, ( Read more... )

I've started about three different entries this week; I think it's about time that I finished one, so long as I keep the whining to a minimum ( Read more... )

Man, I keep forgetting to write here ( Read more... )

Today was going to be all about recouping energy after The Weekend Of All The Stuff. (Not bad stuff, to be clear, just Stuff-that-requires-energy. It was actually a surprisingly laid-back, comfortable weekend; just a busier one than I'm used to.) But, in a surprise turn of events, I need to rearrange some furniture to make room to get an old, ( Read more... )

Lately I've been reflecting on some shit that went down in 2004 or so. At the time, I was part of an online roleplaying group. (Haven't I always?) The group's leader went and founded a second, very similar group, which was trying to co-operatively write a novel (or several) and get it/them published ( Read more... )
