The Day The Earth Got Pushed
Delaying TDTESS, plus replacement titles for DM and my brush with COVID.
Blind Man's Non-Bluff
AKA Why SG-1 is late (temporary blindness). Also my fear of dying in my sleep, how sick I got student teaching, problems with my cats, mistaking a train for Jesus, and why I may have spontaneously become Spider-man.Enclosed is also a picture of my two new kittens, Scout in front, Daniel Tiger in the...
Vacation + Requests
After much cajoling I am giving in and taking a vacation Saturday afternoon to Monday night. Since the fall of Western Civilization has gotten in the way, I've rented a cabin on a lake for two nights, and will be incommunicado during that time. I realize since I'm awful at answering emails i...
Big Trouble with Little China
I'm actually kind of proud of that title.Things are in the default mode - nuts. They're doing an appraisal of my house on Monday, and seeing as how they need to be able to get through it from one end to the other (something even the cats have trouble with from all the junk that's piled u...
Rewards Sent
If you did not receive a message with your reward for the month, let me know. There's a new system, and I know I botched up one aspect of it already.
Hiccup
Hi. I just wanted to drop you all a note. I've mentioned before about my two attacks that were false alarms, believed to be stress. After this past weekend, though, it's been suggested to me that stress might be a symptom and not a cause, because when I'm off I don't feel any better....
Restoration moves slowly
I get into a bit of why uploading the re-upload is moving far slower than planned, and why the politics of the moment is making it so. To lighten it up, I also tell a story of my inability to build a garage.
Choas: Bonus round
I wasn't sure how to get this post started, everything sounded so glib.My uncle who is in his mid 60s, had a sudden, unexplained deterioration. It's not related to COVID, though that is complicating the situation, starting with the fact that his mother - my grandmother - has been kept effect...
The certainty besides death
So, I don't know if you've heard, but the taxing of online goods has reached Patreon. Or it will come July. Fortunately for me, Patreon is handling all of the logistics of that on their end (bad enough I have to be an accountant for me, if I was an accountant for all of you we'd all be g...
I guess I've no excuses left...
...on why I can't start working on reviewing this series.
May Q&A
I thought I'd at least drop this for all of you now. I should be getting you your rewards (both for the month and for the week) this weekend, likely tomorrow. So if you're interested in a few small glimpses into my background and a rambling bit about Rise of Skywalker and Idris Elba Superman...
Video Move SitRep
Today I fill you in on the Vimeo situation, the trials and tribulations of the algorithms, plus a little discussion of the COVID impact at Debris Ranch and a message for those who are struggling right now.Rewards for May will go out early next week. Officers and up can expect the remainder of the Ap...
Not quite your April rewards
Sorry, was really hoping to get them to you today, but wasn't able to pull it off. The irony of the situation is that it looks like the COVID19 chaos has thrown Vimeo's staff off their game so that the videos are still playing, so if I'd spent the week not bothering with the move I'd...
Plan 46 From Outer Space
(Note: I don't do April Fools Jokes)Just wanted to update you on the plan.A not-so-quick census puts the number of videos only on Vimeo as 862. As of yet, there is no single home short of Bitchute where they can all go, and because of the lack of native fullscreen it is there solely as "bett...
One Steadying Breath
Just a heads up that I've decided to take today as a breather. Tomorrow is the last day Vimeo will be hosting, so one way or another I'm going to have to commit to a strategy; I've spent some time exploring options (as this situation is very different from the Star Trek one), so we'l...
Just an update on the move
Just though I'd mention things are going to be harder with this than I thought. I optimistically thought that I could open additional Youtube channels for some of the reviews, to distribute things that way and have a firewall between them and the main channel.However, that won't work. I trie...
Spider-man Preview
So I wasn't able to get you any of your rewards for this weekend, but I had come pretty close to finishing this before the Vimeo stuff anyway, so I thought I'd finish it and share it with you. It's not much, a four minute piece, but it is four minutes more than you'd otherwise be get...
Pending Shuffle
I thought I'd post this here to update you all. The upshot is that I'm altering the schedule and taking a little time off. Details follow:As you know, I've found out that I have to leave vimeo - they're giving me until the end of the month at least, so that helps.What you don't k...
Leaving Vimeo
So, here's the situation with Vimeo.I got an email last week about how, in response to them losing money (despite headlines about how they have proven the non-advertising business model as recently as last summer), Vimeo is changing their TOS so that those in the top 1% of bandwidth are required...
Restoration Progress
The tl;dr of it is that I'm making headway and am hopeful to get back to what I'm supposed to be doing instead of wasting time on stuff that has already been done. That and a whole lot of griping. For anyone who misses the old angry style, it's like that, only scarier because this time i...
Star Trek Update
I thought I'd take the opportunity to fill you in on how the Trek restoration process is going, since that franchise is tied so centrally to what I do.I spent a fair amount of January working on uploads. I've been trying a variety of hosting options for it, and each one requires me to add ad...
The Millstone
I started this year with real optimism. I had a solid plan in place and it was working out, I've been hitting all my benchmarks without a problem, everything is positioned to make this the best year ever.If it was not for CBS actively working to sabotage the show, everything would be perfect. Th...
Stuff slightly delayed, also, what happened
As usual, I can't tell you anything without a long, needlessly drawn out explanation. TLDR, the last thing I need is arriving today, I'm hopeful that I can get your Saturday rewards to you tomorrow and the other items in a reasonable amount of time.Also, in my story I repeatedly mention Dec ...
Positivity
Happy Thanksgiving (early)! Here's info about how I can barely leave my sickbed, plus announcements on the officer level stuff coming next month, and (mostly) positive things to say about life.
Just a quick note about today's rewards
I hadn't anticipated today's problems with The Mind's Eye public release, which has set me back about two hours, not counting, to be honest, the blow to my personal morale. The following is what I was intending to get to you today:Redshirts-Eugenics War 32, Part 1-Lone Wolf Book 1, Part ...
More Problems With CBS
Your rewards are going to be late, thanks to CBS.
Backing Up, Schedule Changes, and Self-Pity
tl;dl The working order is going to be: Gravity Falls 9-12, X-Files Nisei and 731, The Guyver, Gravity Falls 13-20. Unmentioned in the audio, but Short Treks Ep 3: How To Make Beach Life Dull will be in there somewhere.
Tech Problem
I am always paranoid. Ever since the show started, I have had a fear that this will be the week when the Internet gets confused and replaces my new video with a Neo-Nazi rant over illegal images of children. It hasn't happened yet, but I worry anyway that this will be the time (you may remember ...
Psychology, Katrina, Puppets, and Jackhammers
Just a taste of what is part of my average day.
Migration in Progress
There's some technical issue that I'm trying to work past, once that's finished i should be able to start updating the website and seeing your emails. I'm hoping the forum isn't broken. I can post in it, but I don't know if I'm the only one.Anyway, once this is sorted I c...
