There was some kind of reason I started doing this again sporadically, but the reason escapes me. Maybe it was really just to talk to something that doesnt really talk back, or a place to organize thoughts, or somewhere to scream into the void.
The weekend was bonkers and I dont feel like we've gotten anything done. I have to go back to one of my client sites next friday to redo some stuff that we did because we didnt have the right parts yet, but the time was scheduled and we had to get things moved over. Maybe I shouldnt talk about work here, but I'm not getting specific about who or what or where really, just that it was a lot of work and it's not quite done.
I've been playing with using JellyFin instead of Plex, but since I've got friends that watch my plex (they paid for their own remote pass) maybe I ought to keep it. Right now the only real problem is the fact that it doesnt work remotely. Yet. There is a bunch of crap I have to do before it works right, and none of it is working right. There's just not time to put into it, maybe this weekend on sunday I can poke it a little. Locally it works great, or rather mostly great. I think it uses different formats for naming and ordering files, so of course since it's sharing with Plex I can't make to many changes yet.
Boops has been driving on the road a little now that we've got parking mostly dialed in. She's getting a better idea of how big the car is, hoe much to turn the wheel, when to start slowing down, but we are working on all of that stuff still too. She does come into some corners kinda fast, but i guess i do too so maybe it's just me freaking out because im not the driver. When i taught her brother it was a bit like that too. Once she's done I just have to get Mrs Potato driving and everyone working and then maybe i can just lay on the ground for a month. I've always wanted to just have time to do nothing again, i dont think i've had that for more than a few days at a time (which honestly, cmon, does that even really count?) since i was about 17. Maybe thats a whiny thing to think about. But I'm 38 now so....yeah its been a little while.
In the mornings I want to start going for a walk, even if it's just for like 10 minutes. Just to get the legs moving and the blood pumping, maybe i'll even quit drinking coffee again completely. i've gotten pretty good with it since i stopped drinking it like water a few years back. It was honestly wrecking my brain i think, but i needed to be awake, and active, and fast. That worked for a long time but i think i burned out my body, and my brain. I feel like sometimes i'm just losing my mind. Remembering things and doing more than one thing at a time, and my hearing. I wonder if i can work on any of those things. I mishear a lot of things any more and sometimes things aren't quite loud enough for me. I've avoided my earbuds for a while and turned things down at the mixing table to help a little, but it's just quieter. May be one of those things that's too little too late and it's just fucked as it is.
We moved RoskaDJ into the cabinet. She needs a physical box to run on or else the sound doesnt work right. I've been thinking about trimming that instance down a little, or maybe virtualizing it and seeing if it'll work that way, just to have one less computer running around here. I feel like I just add new ones all the time. Michiru (physical server) will be good to have for jellyfin, if i ever get it working right, mainly for the hardware transcoding. Maybe I will just keep both Plex and JellyFin, jelly for me for when im home and plex for those that pay for it to work. I mean they dont pay /me/ but thats besides the point.
Streaming hasnt really been going at all. I couldnt do my normal saturday thing, nor play with the dudes on friday this week. I was going to try and do something on sunday but i was just wiped out and laid around. I want to gt back to doing something more often than once a week, but i also think i need to change up what i do on saturdays. We can play some games, or jam out, but i wanna watch a tape, or do something different, i just dont know what yet. The game night thing has been fun but we've been doing it for about a year now and i think its time for something new. Maybe if i think of something good I can do every other week or something for games like we used to, or once a money? I like that, just not every saturday.
We'll be back, and we'll do stuff, time just will tell on what we are doing.
