Candice

I'm so happy to hear that it's working out so well!

Been having so much fun with the hypno triggers that the lovely @candicemakes.bsky.social was able to install in just one session!! Didn’t expect that just a few words from a friend or partner would be able to get me feeling so small, carefree, and cozy, and right in time for CAP too! 💖

Cuties and fuzzies, this fox has recently reversed engineered the 20kbps COOK (RealAudio) codec, and created a C# based audio encoder that works decently well!

The stereo window shifting is making it echo in the lower tones, but still need to tweak it!

This is like a huge accomplishment for me!

If you're not dancing in the kitchen with your cat to 50s style love songs, what are you even doing?

Day 2 of my week off and for a second time the fiber installer has failed to install fiber in my house. Guh.

I mean, pretty much anything can be used as the basis for a suggestion, especially if it's something that's been on your mind frequently.

Sometimes a simple noodle dish is very comforting. My riff on the peanut noodles from one of my favorite Thai places

I have some vacation coming up starting tomorrow and I am hyped. I have needed some time off.

Part of me would drive the heck out of that.

Uggghhh, apparently its migraine time.

Huh. Apparently air frying a slice of spam makes it puff way up.

Yesterday had a fun impromptu session with @candicemakes.bsky.social 💖 It's always a good time when people put you down into a soft and plush mindspace. 💖

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

Having to keep reading news like this is terrifying. My heart goes out to all of my fellow trans folks in Kansas. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Oh dear... This just made me realize that my first character will be 30 this year. 😵‍💫

I got my workbench cleaned up today.

Accurate. 🫠

Frankly getting into both VRC and Hypnosis has been great for me. I've really made some amazing new friends through both.

Frankly I just love the whole aesthetic that you've cultivated. I know it's very "dad" sure, but it's also very old school cool.

I'm going to call the network upgrade a success; the old router struggled to give me 400mb of download throughput.

For serious. It was so good to see you yesterday and hang out with everyone. Had a lovely evening afterwards too thanks to your head tinkering.😉

Don't trust people who don't sleep with at least one plushie.

Bah, last night's fitful sleep is catching up with me today. >⁠.⁠<

I had the same nightmare all night. I woke up several times, but every time I went back to sleep it would continue. Guh...

The stack of soon to be installed new network hardware is really getting out of hand.

Gotta keep learning, keep iterating, keep growing. Thriving is resistance.

I've spent countless hours recently learning about hypnosis and the joys of using it to connect with folks, copper working for jewelry to add yet another skill to my arsenal, and I've dug into LLM security and output vetting. None of these are easy, but they excite me because they are difficult.

As I settle into my 40s I have realized that the most important thing in life is continuing to learn and grow no matter your age. Just because a person has achievements or comfort doesn't mean it's time to rest. If anything the stability of half a life worked now means its more important to explore.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Doing a dry fit of the new network hardware. The fact that this is its start up routing is borderline hilarious. Also, can't believe my home network is to the point that I'm using direct attach cables.
