It’s indisguishable from basic ASCII, except if you’re blind and you use a screen reader. In which case I hope you won’t mind for the sake of avoiding bots.

Probably as much as 2020 was, and as much as 2022 probably will. I kind of took 2021 leisurely, mostly because of family illness, the Backstreet Boys Reunion Tour*, my day job, and helping family and friends that all took most of my time. I hope it gets better in 2022, so I kinda want to set some goals for now on.

Genesis The first iteration of this blog was basically my Tumblr blog. By November 2018, I became largely disinterested by Tumblr due to various reasons, and I found this blog engine called WriteFreely, written in Go, could do federation so the blog posts would show up in people’s Mastodon feeds, effectively replicating some of Tumblr’s social features.</p><p><a href=/toasters-rocks-4/>Read More...</a></p></article><article><div><h2><a class=title href=/november-updates/>November updates</a></h2><p></p><i class="far fa-calendar-alt"></i>

First of all, thanks to our newest Patron, Terrence Wong, very appreciated :)

So I’m working on and off on this show bible for Zarmina, gathering pages of notes and failed scripts I wrote for myself into one concise document meant to show other people who dare help… As I probably said in every post so far, the worst thing is motivation, I have a 9 to 5 job in the way and I have a family to care of, but eh, I’d say I’m half through the synopsis so far.</p><p><a href=/november-updates/>Read More...</a></p></article><article><div><h2><a class=title href=/zarmina-updates/>Zarmina updates</a></h2><p></p><i class="far fa-calendar-alt"></i>

Almost forgot I had a Patreon and someone is giving me a dollar a month, lol (thanks Pieman7373 :))

Anyway, here’s some updates… It’s been years I’m talking about Zarmina and not much came up out of it. I had some work done this summer, the outline of the story is now finally complete, and I now started writing a bible, organizing all my notes together so someone else can look at it and have a good idea of the whole picture.</p><p><a href=/zarmina-updates/>Read More...</a></p></article><article style=background-image:url(/images/2020/10/tumblr_nf5ohq1Tn01qexvxeo2_1280.png)><div class=metadata style="height:calc((var(--height) - 2em) * .8320693391115926 - 3.5em)"><h2><a class=title href=/why-is-my-oc-a-girl/>Why is my OC a girl</a></h2><p>An essay about gender and ponies.</p><i class="far fa-calendar-alt"></i>

I’ve always worked freelance on some small projects with friends, friends of friends or for myself, comfortably at home, and I wanted to work in a big company that could provide me with a stable job and work in an office, for a change.</p><p><a href=/pandemic-story/>Read More...</a></p></article><article><div><h2><a class=title href=/arch-linux-packages/>My Arch Linux packages: how to create your own repo</a></h2><p></p><i class="far fa-calendar-alt"></i>
