Round 3

20260422 - Wednesday

It's been a bit of a long week, but it also went by quite fast... My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent. I think I'm sick?

Web Browsing

⊳ Daniele63: Fun site with lots of coding tips!
⊳ increment: Number gets big.
⊳ Curious Cones: Traffic cones.
⊳ The Columbophile Blog: A blog about the best TV show.
⊳ gneiss place: A cute blog, but it hasn't been updated in a few years...
⊳ Jasm1nii: Another pretty art site that hasn't been updated in a while TT
⊳ Sonic the Hedgehog by Grumpyfox: A page dedicated to this person's Sonic the Hedgehog physical music collection. Reminds me of a friend from high school.
⊳ Reading Project: This is a bit embarassing because it seems to be so popular, but I only found this site through the RSS webring. It's a site dedicated to book reviews, mainly focused on Booker Prize nominees.

Site Updates

⊳ I joined my first, second, and third webrings! The first is no-AI, the second is for having an RSS feed, and the third is for being mostly text-based. Have been having fun looking at others' sites.
⊳ Finally got around to implementing a custom cursor! However, it didn't work when I added it to my regular site's CSS, so I had to apply the code to every page. Did not have the same issue with the Zonelets CSS.
⊳ Have been thinking a bit about changing the theme/colors of the site... I think it's a little too early to do a full overhaul, but the way I transfered the theme was honestly bad & is becoming inconvenient.

Craft Progress

I'm doing pretty well, I think! I'm getting into the latter half of page 2 (of 3). You can kind of see the next animal starting to appear.

cross stitch project

I want to pick up another kogin project, but I have too many cross stitch WIPs in the works. I've also been getting into sewing a bit again, and I've picked up a good amount of fabric since attending my first stitching expo last November. Recently, I made my husband an apron, and there's 4-5 other small projects that have been on my mind. Usually, with my decoritve stitching projects, I just keep the final piece in storage. I find it wasteful, if not a bit sad- I rarely look back at the projects once I'm done with them.

Japanese Progress

Haven't studied at all this week.

Miscellaneous

⊳ This week, as I was browsing through webrings, I encountered my first pro-AI Neocities page. What a doozey... Also, why are so many people such weebs? I don't think appreciating Japanese media is bad, but solely appreciating Japanese media is icky.
⊳ I got my hands on Tomodachi Life & am loving it! So far, I have 20 miis that cover all of the personality types.
⊳ Yesterday, I began working on a custom stretching playlist for my MP3 player. What I've been doing is overlaying songs that I like in Audacity with the pacer test sound effects every 15, 15, then 10 seconds. It's maybe a bit silly to do manually, but I don't know a better way & am too impatient to learn. I've fallen out of the habit of stretching because I find that re-watching the same videos is very boring, but I have finally hit a point where I enjoy/crave a good stretch & need to maintain that feeling.
