Damn man I'm so behind on everything. / _/ / /
Jeez. I'm just gonna cram as many short \_______/_\___/____/\___/____/_
updates into this file as I can. / \/ \/ / \
/ _/ /_ _/
Firstly, I started a second regular /- / _/ /
streaming radio gig, like, three weeks ago \________/\________/\___/____/
hahaha. It is called Soft Ash and unlike LOW
WIRE, where I play whatever I feel like, I'm taking a shot at sticking to a
few narrower genres, specifically gloomy stuff like goth rock, darkwave and
post-punk. I'm sure I'll play some loosely related stuff down the track but
it's proving interesting to approach a show that way. You think you know a
genre pretty well but when you really sit down and think about it, sometimes
you just listen to a small part of it on repeat. I'm having a lot of fun
though, hope you'll tune in! I do it every Friday at 21:00 UTC on the
Tildeverse Radio stream, check out tilderadio.org for more info.
LOW WIRE trucks along on aNONradio's stream, getting a bit bolder about
what kind of stuff I play on there. In a way the drama earlier was a blessing
in that it reset my mindset of the whole thing. I kinda tiptoed around playing
anything too far out of left field because I had this idea that LOW WIRE was
bigger than it was but now I've been reminded that, like all my online shit,
it is low-visibility, disposable and I should use it how I want, not how
people expect it should be used. It made it more fun as soon as I stopped
giving a fuck about levelling up listener counts and fussing over who did/said
or didn't do/say whatever. Now I just play music and talk shit for an hour! As
it should be.
Overall my streaming radio game is getting stronger, I'm getting more
confident chatting on and better at picking tracks, overall timing, etc. It
makes me happy. I do need to work on my setup though because wow is it
starting to hurt my neck hunching over that desk haha.
What else? Shit I knew I should have written stuff down.
Trying to get my head around some project management stuff, I have so much
shit on the go that none of it gets done, I just look at the pile and lose
interest because I have no idea where to start.
Very slowly working on a thing I can't talk about which is frustrating.
Need to work on doll things before I lose the motivation.
The "baby" for baud.baby fizzled out because it's too hard to find a cheap
blinking doll so maybe I'll try doing something else for it. I saw a Gopher
server a month or two ago (I forget who it belonged to sorry) that was running
on a 486, maybe something along those lines.
A bunch of other stuff I don't have time or space for in our tiny
apartment. Bleh.
Not to mention wanting to find the time to help out or get involved with
friends' projects too.
And at the same time getting really impatient with social media, the
fediverse just seems to have its obnoxiousness level turned up lately. I'm not
even involved, it's just a bunch of ridiculous people firing ignorant or
narcissistic shit over my bow endlessly.
And work is work, as greedy towards its staff as legally possible. I don't
think I'll last another year here.
And at the same time still frustratingly trying to get back on track with
the diet and also out of drugs again. Emphatic shrug.
