Let's get the bitching about work out of the way up front: my boss has been scheduling me full time for the past four weeks now despite knowing full well I'm supposed to be working part time, and furthermore he had me working six consecutive days just now. Any more of this shit and I will straight up quit. Fuck you bro

In brighter news, my finger's pretty much healed. That's pretty much it actually, between work and resting between shifts at work I haven't really had the time or energy to do much else. Remind me to burn down the capitalist system sometime.

2023-05-28 Road to Strange Loop - Devine Lu Linvega's journal

I've submitted a talk about permacomputing to Strange Loop 2023 and it has been accepted. This summer, as we sail north, I'll be collating my notes on the overlaps between permaculture and situated software design practices — And, hopefully, have a substantial presentation by September.

Now, I've got some slides to make.

mid-spring in full swing! i've been turning down a lot of event invites, but i'm really gratified that folks have been inviting me to things. also, ibarra and i have been taking a walk mid-mornings when the sun is full out and the lighting reminds me so much of childhood. i've also begun drinking afternoon tea, it doesn't interfere with my sleep patterns as much as coffee does.

2023-05-20 - NUEDGE unhinged journal

Well, a lot of time has passed since my last update. All I can really say is this: some thing improved a lot, while other stayed almost the same. My mental health is slowly improving thanks to a small but steady dose of therapy. I started to appreciate the little treats ad things even at uni. Maybe I found a girl to love and be loved.

Greetings everyone! Today, alongside procrastinating on homework (help), I am working on a really cool personal project of mine! If you know me too wel, you may know that I am a part of the Countryhumans fandom, and I am working on my own universe/headcanons about them! So, i thought "why not make some weird arg-like ish thing about them?", and so, here I am! I am working on a website about them, and I am trying to make it similar to a plain, old-looking website, like this, except I used Sadgrl's layout maker again XD (it's very helpful!). So, yeah. I'm also working on changing the CSS of this website yet again, as I feel like it is pretty outdated to my own personal tastes. I'm not sure now what to theme it after (except the fact that it's going to be something I like), so if any of you have any ideas, let me know! That's all, thanks for reading!

2023-05-15 - Interipelli's Journal

Life remains a bit busy, hoping to get onto a better project sooner than later. First there are some people issues to sort out and tempers to allay. Once that's resolved, I'd like to get back to writing.

In the meantime, Raindare made enough progress on her Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei II romhack that she's willing to show off more of her work. To that end, she's cleaned up her notes on findings in the ROM itself and started pulling together a screenshot playthrough of what the game is like.

After taking a small break from Skeb requests, Otugei found the time to do a really amazing picture of Raindare's Vivian from the Witches and Artifice stories. We got a few appeals from other artists to do more art of Vivian since, which surprised both of us. I suppose we'll have to figure out a way to showcase that sometime!

So....... Honestly, I'm still not that good until now. Something I really don't want to explain. Anyway, I got into this Nationstates game, and it's pretty cool! The people there are relatively chill too. Nationstates is a nation simulation game thing. Anyway, I made about three nations there, and so far I'm having quite some fun there! Also, I feel like I'd redo the CSS of this website again. Simply because... well, it does not fit me. Not sure why. Though, I think that's alright, at least I'm updating this website to my tastes (and saving the css files on txt files anyway. I feel like animating again. The problem is, I don't have time and motivation. I have a lot of character concepts to put into final designs. I hope I could do it this summer. WISH ME LUCK!

2023-05-12 Type Inference Week - Devine Lu Linvega's journal

For a few weeks now, I've been sketching the basis for a type inference system for Uxntal. I first came across a stack-effect validator when writing Factor, and I've been meaning to make my own since after reading Rob Kleffner's talk notes. Prior to this project, I had a sense of what the different constructions were, but writing a type-checker drew clearer lines between all these different patterns.

We're casting off for Desolation Sound in a few days. Most afternoons are spent stocking up Pino with enough food to last us until we make our way back south next autumn. I'm eager to depart.

today-ish is the spinny game 2nd anniversary! unfortunately i am terrible at time management etc. and the update is nowhere near finished. it's not too big of a problem cause probably nobody cares the exact date at which i add a small amount of content to my very bad webgame, although it means i won't get to start work on the other game for a while longer. stay tuned for the 2.somethingth anniversary i guess.

speaking of arbitrary milestones, i've almost reached 100000 reviews on anki! this means literally nothing but i guess i'm making progress on things??

some cool anki stats, i guess

as usual, here are some cool things i found. the journal entry was delayed a bit because i couldn't think of anything to put here before.

2023-05-08 - journal @ keet.lol

been a while since i updated this! i am actually writing from my new laptop. wiped off windows and installed linux mint. stuff i am enjoying lately: scrapbook/junk journalling ASMRs (love the sound of peeling stickers), eating meals outdoors in the yard, looking at the newly-sprung flowers in the neighbourhood. i am thinking of revamping this website but mostly i think i'll be satisfied adjusting the divs.

Today was another long day, however I am quite proud of the meal I cooked: it tasted good and I used up some veggies that needed to be used ASAP. I also managed to clean the kitchen, do some laundry, and get my stuff ready for tomorrow's commute to the office.

My domain now points to my Smol Pub page. I am quite happy about it as I finally have a Gemini first home that is mirrored automatically on the www.

With my tilde, this place here, the domain page, etc... my stuff is all over the place! I'll have to tidy it all up at some point and maybe even cancel accounts I don't really use.

This will also help with publishing more quality content that could actually be useful or interesting for those stumbling upon my sites.

2023-05-07 - blog

It's been one hell of a month since I last posted here. If you've made the baffling decision to get invested in my life, I've got good news and bad news. Bad news first.

Work isn't going very well. One of my coworkers quit and that's left us understaffed for May long weekend, which is an incredibly busy time. I've been scheduled for 48 hours next week(!!!). To put that in context, I signed up to work part time. 20-30 hours a week they said. Hopefully they can hire someone soon.

Content warning here - the short version is I injured my hand, and I'm gonna talk about that. Nothing life-altering, though. It'll heal and I'll probably be fine. The next awful thing that happened to me is I sliced my left index finger open on a knife at work. I won't give a play-by-play of events, but suffice to say the cause was very embarrasing. Luckily (for a given value of lucky) it was a sharp, non-serrated knife, so the cut was clean at least. I left the hospital a few hours later with three stitches right next to the *pause for googling* Distal Interphalangeal Joint. There was, understandably, disciplinary action on the part of my employer, but nothing major. I wasn't fired, at least, so that's good, I guess.

Also, my Matrix server is seeing about zero use. Once again, nothing has changed in the wake of a scandal regarding Discord. lol


Now for the good news. I've come into some money for reasons that boil down to "the government is simping hard over my autistic swag", which is a sentence I've been itching to say, and I used some of it to get a 3D printer! Blog post about it possibly coming soon, but suffice to say it's been a thoroughly fun and interesting experience.

I also made a fursona. One guess what species it is. You will be able to find out more once I've gotten around to making a spec-compliant information file.


I'm starting to get sick of writing these in raw HTML. Might fuck around and write a custom Markdown renderer in PHP. Could be fun.
