since i'm doing this during the day for the most part, it'll be more in a timeline. no-lifing it for real.

⇢ put the leaf hammock in aquarium #2 for star, the earl of sandwich. all of my naming themes are just random assortments from different friends, and the must have a title. i've also had demon king guts the old man and princess guts the fretful.

⇢ picked at vn guis again. none really fit, so i'm drafting again. wish i could say this slaps, BUT IT DOESN'T.

⇢ actually, two hours later, it's starting to slap a little.

⇢ it's noon now; i started this day about 9:15am. wish it wasn't a sunday though. had a peanut button sandwich and some iced tea, and got a bunch of writing done.

⇢ 12:50pm, i finished my draft, and made a scaled up version (bad, but it's like. just a draft. to prove to myself that this is a thing i could actually do.) (maybe.)

⇢ don't know what to do with my day now.

⇢ spent about an hour looking at new bsky feeds and then getting rss feeds set up, because i want to see every single tool posted to itch.io or else i will die, apparently. did you know you can just append .xml to the end of an itch url and it'll give you a feed? sick nasty right? https://itch.io/tools/newest.xml is what i used for newest tools.

⇢ codepen doesn't want to be an rss feed so i'm giving up on that one for the day.

⇢ btw, anisota is the bomb on firefox sideview.

⇢ did some laundry.

⇢ i put some tie-dye in a hoodie i'm trying to save (it got bleach on it from work...) (i might just buy another hoodie lmfao)

⇢ looked for a collection tracker cms; the thing does not exist. the temptation to just use etcg and strip away everything but the custom fields is strong rn. i was just thinking of a page where i could see all of the number fields and change them without having to open the files. i'm lazy. i really need to start learning crud because again, i think just the most basic crud forms would make my entire life. but i'm tired. and lazy.

⇢ then i looked for a microblog cms that works like cutephp. like, where you have your dashboard, type in the status, hit publish, and it can embed into your website? i thought that would exist, but there's only status.cafe. thank god for status.cafe.

⇢ trying to brainstorm how to track everything in my media libraries. wish i knew why that sparked joy.

⇢ it's 3:30pm and now i am beating my head against the wall of cms custom input fields again.

⇢ i guess we're trying: grav (it works, but in the end, i am too smoothbrained for what i want it to do)

⇢ OKAY WELL AN IFRAME AND NIKKI.TOP IS APPARENTLY ALL I NEEDED. LMFAO

⇢ https://scary.dog/diary.php aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa finally. good god that was way more effort than it ever needed to be. i'm gonna replace the blog with this ev...entually. sorry cutenews i'm Tired.

⇢ by the way... this is my internet on a normal day. i think it's pretty OK until someone who lives in a city with wired connections speaks up. (i spent too much of my life on dial-up though, i'll always be happy to have a download that isn't in kb)

⇢ i'm fussing around with generators now. i think they're fun.

⇢ https://scary.dog/last.php another rousing success (mitzi it's the most basic js ever) yeah

⇢ kraft dinner & sausages for ... dinner

⇢ i decided the next thing i want is something like piclog ... a photo diary would be nice (but half of the pictures will be memes and/or random screenshots) but iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii don't know how to make this work unless i find something cute that has an rss feed. i was hoping there'd be an atproto thing but i just disgraced grain with my scribbles in an attempt to force that to work. IT DIDN'T. i'll keep trying though. i guess i could use something like bsky or mastodon and just not post on that account? much to think about. i could use another domain name.

⇢ https://scary.dog/photolog.php i was right. it works with mastodon though i was dying looking at all of the rss embeds out there like BLEASE... I JUST WANT PHOTOS TO SHOW UP... i picked ohai as a substitute because i like sharks. mastodon actually seems kind of like a nice idea maybe i should go for it for socials?? idk. we will see.

⇢ i haven't decided which rss widget i'll use so i'm leaving them both on the page to see which updates better. right now they are both... mid. i thought about this one too but i want full images.

⇢ opened freezeframe again but the last few times have been fails so. maybe i should like. do something else today.

⇢ oh yeah i fought hard and put my aquarium backings on. no pics because it was daylight and bright out and my reflection ruined everything. aquascaping is harrrrrdddd

⇢ did laundry. it's raining out, after i hung up my clothes so i had a time with that.

⇢ belatedly realized i probably could have used tumblr instead of a mastodon instance but it was kind of fun, in the masochism way.

⇢ decided to set up my domain email. why? idk. maybe i can move away from gmail for things that don't require labels. unless there's an email client that lets you label based on filters ... oh no! good thing i have to go to bed soon!

⇢ uhhhh unfortunately ^ that was easier than i thought, though ofc the labels/tags aren't as cute as i had them in gmail. mmmmmaybe this can be fixed. fussed with. later. LATER. anyway, send an email to mitzi @ scary.dog for some reason!

⇢ i decided to call it quits. no more. NO MORE. NO MORE SCREEN (except when i go to play balatro in bed). tomorrow will not be like this, as i have to return to capitalism (work) and i'm honestly not really sure how long i'll keep this up for. logging my day was kind of fun, though.

goodnight! ⁀➷
