  • 68 and Counting

    Tallied up the feeds I’m tracking with Google Reader. 68 blogs. And I read each and every post they release. Good thing they don’t all post every day. But because I do read them, I’d like to promote them, or at least admit that this plebe can handle the occasional hard word. ~looks at Blogroll…

  • A Public Answer

    Dear Person castigating me for (re)turning to “low magic” & “demigod enslavement”; Who the fuck are you to tell me how to orbit? If you’re so high advanced as your email pretends, then you’d know we all have to travel through shit before getting to the temple. I am where I need to be in…

  • Just One Lie

    Many years ago, I worked in a train yard. One night during my probationary period, I was tested in what was supposed to be just a matter of stubborn will. I had to pick up a crew from this train over there and be given conflicting directions by the conductor and engineer to see how…

  • Some New Old Stuff

    Cleaning out some unnecessary files, I came across a dream archive I had posted at a forum a few years back. When my participation on the forum went south, I made a backup of the posts and filed them away. Because the writeups have been posted to their original dates, they will not show up…

  • Always Something To Do

    Moving the blog from Blogspot to Katalytis has been easier than I thought it would be, and tougher than I thought it would be. For some reason, I’m reminded of quest chains from my MMORPG days (years). In order to have the key to enter the dungeon and save the dipshit of the day, you…

  • Fixing Things: Unpacking The Boxes

    Hey, you made it! Excellent! If your feed reader didn’t already pick up the RSS, you can find it here. There are still some things for me to clean up, going through all my self referential links and pointing them to katalytis instead of Blogspot, for instance. Also making sure the images point to the…

  • Fixing Things: Upcoming Changes

    Just a heads up. In the next several weeks, Three Different Ways will be moving off Google’s Blogger Platform. I just have to decide which platform to go with. While Google gives a lot of features for the pleasant cost of $0, I find myself wanting features that Google just doesn’t offer. Full control of…

  • Fixing Things: Different Screens, Different Sizes

    Playing around with Blogger settings, I decide to see what this “Blogger in draft” is all about. First thing that catches my eye, “Option to turn on Mobile Formatting”. Oh, I’ve been wanting this for a while. Let’s see what happens.

  • Fixing Things: I Can See Clearly Now

    Changed the template and color scheme. Increased contrast between text and background. Changed font. Still the same ol’ drivel, however. Just easier for the brain to recognize how bad it is.

  • Fixing Things: This Place Be Jumping!

    Did some digging and found how to post “summaries” to the main page. So those occasional long posts (read: 95%) will have a few paragraphs to allow you, dear reader, to determine if clicking through to another two thousand word monstrosity is worthwhile. I’ll be going back through the (thankfully) short archives and adding the…
