I touched on progesterone (P4) in my last transgender update post. I am not quite sure if progesterone is working in the way I want it to. My biggest annoyance with it is feeling like my brain is on fire just before trying to sleep...

Ohhh that little cicada was such a survivor. Resting and laying eggs for almost every day for ten days while in captivity.
These events happened one year ago. It doesn’t all end here though as Flicky’s children eventually hatch. 🪲

A few milestones have been achieved this month. I’ve reached my third month of gender affirming hormone therapy and was able to get an estradiol implant (200mg, compounded). I kicked pregabalin as it wasn’t helping with my anxiety. 🫠

We had a giant blue tongue turn up randomly on the lawn. No doubt here for the snails and slugs I keep finding at night. I picked up a tray of beef dog food with minimal grain content and he hasn't shown up since! 😭

Technically I’m still the same, but my hammock is weirdly outdoors. For the first time in years I have an outdoor area. I’m no longer trapped in a box. I hate apartments. At the same time...

CG-NAT defeated! The Cloudflare Argo Tunnel works and has done so for about a week. However, due to the way the tech behind it all works…
…I might have inadvertently locked myself out, with help from botnets spamming...

Here comes the downtime. As my NBN regresses to 4G home internet. Expect this site to be down for at least a few weeks while I get my head around consumer grade network address translation or CG-NAT for short. 😅

A quick look at HTTP requests on really old browsers. It was interesting to try and get a modern day CDN – Cloudflare in my case, to play nice with browsers such as NCSA Mosaic which are now almost older than time itself. 😀

Exactly one month ago, on the 18th October 2023, I came to the realisation that I am transgender. Two weeks later I had an appointment with an endocrinologist. And one week after that a prescription for estradiol valerate 6 mg a day.

7th October 2023. Picture the date, picture the time. Walking along a major arterial road. Out of the corner of my eye, a monitor. E-waste? Maybe. Dumped? Definitely.

Oh my sweet WD Blue SA510 M.2 SATA 2280 blade drives. You are such trash. Since I took GeoCities offline I thought I’d erase and sell the drives. But look at what I found...

For the past three years I’ve been vegan. A junk food vegan. Processed foods have always been my friend. They’re cheap, full of energy and bad for you? I’ve dusted off my cognitive dissonance...

Silos needed. I used to love Command & Conquer as a teenager. My Athlon 500 MHz sure did clock a few hours as did Andrew’s PC. Then came Red Alert 2 and the Yuri’s Revenge expansion. Such great game play. 😀

A few months ago I decided I was finished with donating blood. A few factors decided into why I would no longer donate.

I have been listening to my three or four drives go clunk, clunk, clunk for the best part of a year. Initially I thought it must have been something in TrueNAS... 🤷♀️

The latest update in a series of updates it seems! Recently I had the fun of being injected with a chelated form of gadolinium, affectionately known as an MRI contrast agent.

Today we’re touching on what happened to my GeoCities Archive. A while back I had an idea to dockerise my Apache-based web server.

What the actual fuck Australia? When it comes to politics I am very left leaning. But what the hell are we doing voting no on something that benefits the First Nations people – with no disadvantage to anyone else?

This all started a bit grim finding a flattened cicada being attacked by ants and a dead beetle who probably couldn’t get to soil. But there’s always a story to be told and her one lies in the video. 🙃

We’re on day 25 of the never–ending headache. The good news, however, is that I have been to a neurologist who prescribed some indometacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), like naproxen or ibuprofen.

We’re on day 11 of having a headache on the right-hand side of my head. It does not respond to ibuprofen, naproxen, paracetamol, or diclofenac. Just my luck. The only thing that seems to be having any effect is pregabalin.

After having a headache for nearly a week I figured I should get it checked out. I did some looking but couldn’t see anything, well except for the big diagnostically irrelevant but neat looking, calcified falx cerebri.

Clocked in at 2 days, 14 hours total total. Wow! Overall though I would recommend this game if you enjoy killing dragons and stuff. I don’t know, I guess I am very keen for the Final Fantasy VII Remake parts two and three to be released. 😍
