Looks like me not doing any commissions will have to end, I need 2, probably 3 commissions to take care of a bill.
I haven’t been taking commissions for a few reasons, but there might get not be much choice.

Well Environment Canada issued a watch (or was it a warning) for freezing rain today, and of course today is the only day I’m scheduled to go into work.
Let’s get the day started, I guess.

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

I was going to stream tonight, maybe I still might, it’s only 7:15, but going to two grocery stores and getting rent taken care of, has tired me right the frack out.

So I had an idea for an animated short using Blender. But now I have to either figure out how to adapt armor to the Darbi Otter model or build my own and I have never felt comfortable making assets like that -_-

With 2026 upon us, I cannot believe this February, it will be 4 years since I got Twitch affiliate.
Struggling with being chronically sick, I have not gotten as far as I'd want (streaming as much as I want), but I'm happy to have met the people that I have along the way.

But I have gotten some work done, fleshed out the database for a new version of sudokitty and perhaps I can start getting some work done on the routines.
I’ve also been looking into a more comprehensive solution for voice synthesis and perhaps even to get sudo to sing.

So I had a colonoscopy on Monday and today, I restarted taking my pill based chemo again.
I have felt fine part of the day but now, not so much. I’ve also slept more today than I have in ages, an extra 8 hours and I feel like I am not rested from that extra sleep.

Voicemeter drivers were stopping me from upgrading a computer to 25H2, not that I care for the upgrade but with security breaches being something Windows love having, I like to keep things up to date.
I had to use an app to remove them from the driver DB, since they weren't in Device Manager >.<

At 1:30PM, I looked at my office and said "I hate it", knowing I couldn't move my equipment, rearrange furniture and have everything up by 9:00PM, I decided to clean up and rearrange, and to temporarily store stuff in the storage area until I figured out if I needed it or not.

So the other laptop came in, it's a X1 Carbon 4th Gen. Which admittedly I kinda wanted an X1 Carbon a few years ago, but it has LPDDR3, which means can never upgrade the RAM.
Neither a great for my husband's goals, so I am going to offer him my old trashy Ideapad, which actually would work well.

The HP Elitebook 820 G2 that I got only has a TPM 1.2, so for a modern OS, it’ll be Linux.
However, it has an easily replaceable 2.5” SSD and two RAM slots that can do DDR 3, 1600Mhz 1.35V RAM, comes with a cell modem and a GPS module.
So while I barely travel, would be a good travel machine

So as a little fun thing, I had purchased two mystery laptops for real cheap, only thing I knew is that they would come with 8GB of RAM and a 120GB or 256GB hard drive.
One of them was an HP Elitebook 820 G2 and today we find out what the other one is (when it arrives)

For $0, you can get drawing software and use a mouse, but for less than $100, you can get a drawing tablet.
So…
What good options for $0 music creation software is there?
Music is one area of genAI that I don’t see a lot or any pushback on. We need to, but there also needs to be good options

Okay, found a problem with the rendering farm, every couple hundred frames, the manager has gone and crashed. I haven't seen a crash log, so perhaps I just have to run it full tilt on one computer for now. But I was also running in cycles, but since it didn't look different, gonna try EVEEE.

Welp sent something to the render farm. First time it failed because it wouldn't generate a video. That's file, I changed the settings and have it making a 72000 image sequence now....

So ages ago I kitbashed a kinda cursed vrchat avatar that was an awtter body with nardoragon arms and legs, called Bevrley.
Not that I would do it but I was just wondering how much more cursed would a nardoragon body with awtter legs and arms be?
