Don’t know if you’re experiencing the same thing, but recently, the bookmarklets have stopped working. I click on it, a pop-up window would show up (as expected), but it would ask me to log in and then won’t proceed further.

If you haven’t been tracking your subscriptions (especially during COVID-19 quarantine and all the streaming services we’re subscribing to), now might be a good time. MacSparky has a great spreadsheet for this.
I’m so completely new to Twitch (as a viewer), but watching all these PAXonline videos has led me to some interesting Twitch streamers. Lara6683 is a Sydney musician who plays old-school video game music on the piano.
It’s great to listen to this while working.
If you’re attending PAXonline this year, you have to join the Discord channel. They have this text adventure thing going – go to the #pax-explorer
channel and type !look
to get started. #paxonline
I apologise to everyone on micro.blog who got spammed by my gaming posts recently; I completely forgot I’d added that feed to my MB account.😓🙇🏻♀️
What I am up to as of… 11 September 2020
COVID-19 ⚛️
- Since Melbourne has entered Stage 4 quarantine, I am at home every day 🏡; I have discovered that I am perfectly happy squirrelled away like this. 🐿️
- This has led me to do a lot of the following…
Website 🌐
- Finally changed the name and tagline of my site – the previous one was always supposed to be temporary
- I got a logo designed for the website (I discovered Fiverr via YouTuber/Muralist, Ten Hundred). If you're willing to shell out for a domain and a server, a logo isn't that much of a stretch.
- Changed my theme to GuCherry Blog; it's not an officially IndieWeb-supported theme, but it seems to work fine.
- Considering how long this Now entry is, I'm setting a reminder to update this monthly, so I don't have such a huge backlog.
Podcast 🎙️
- "Trigger Point FM" is on hiatus for much longer than expected as my co-host absolutely refuses to record remotely
I am playing a lot more games 🎲:
- The original Vampire: The Masquerade game I was playing moved from face-to-face to being played via video chat, to not being played at all. Instead, I've replaced that with a play-by-post VtM game hosted on the Seattle by Night Discord Server. Instead of writing up session summaries, I am now sharing my posts from the Discord game.
- Pathfinder is still happening once a week – we are now facing a world-ending event that requires us to do some tomb-diving, and my character spends 1/3 of the time as Chaotic Evil, and no one notices…
- I spent two weeks playing No Man's Sky again, but that resulted in some serious sleep deprivation, so I decided to shelve that for now.
- I am playing Thousand Year Old Vampire – too early to share my thoughts on this…
- I've rediscovered Nile Online, a browser-based worker/resource management game. I forget how much I enjoy these games – especially when there's no warfare involved – This led to me discovering GreaseMonkey/Tampermonkey
Analogue stuff ✍️
- As I'd mentioned, I'm currently trying out some stress-transforming journaling. This is a very recent endeavour, so more updates to come.
- I'm taking Amy Tangerine's "Fresh Takes on Traveler's Notebooks" course to try to use up some of my Traveler's Notebook inserts / scrapbooking supplies I have lying around.
- I've brought out my typewriter again – my other-half is not happy with the noise
iOS 👩🏻💻
- I've created a Shortcut that keeps track of the web-series I'm reading (webcomics, web novels etc.), and which chapter I'm up to – I just need to write it up
I am watching 📺
- All fourteen seasons of Supernatural – currently onto season 12
- Recently finished:
- Suits
- Nashville
- Nirvana in Fire (again)
- Mystic Pop-Up Bar
- Lucifer – Season 5

I did this class on Monday (or at least the Laneway Learning version of it – it’s hosted by the same teacher, just a shorter session) and I have to say, if you ever have trouble working through stress, or want to work on your journaling skills, this class was pretty helpful.
Her online journaling community – where a group of people get together twice a week to journal – is a good way to keep you accountable.
