I've got some colorful dreamsheep icons up over at

dreamsheep in celebration of

3weeks4dreamwidth! I'm also taking color and color combination requests.

I'm aiming to get a Mood Theme in a Hurry calendar done and posted by this evening, but I've also got Surprise Cramps to deal with, so we'll see what wins 😑

Edit: Mood Theme in a Hurry Calendars are now available! They only cover the Minimum and Medium mood tracks, because I am not currently prepared to either stick six or seven moods on a day, or pick and choose which of the remaining 98 moods to include on the calendar. (I'd probably want to go for at least 72 moods total, including the 34 already on the Medium Track calendar, but that's still 38 moods to pick out!)

Current Mood: happy dreamwidthiversary!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

Finally made an appointment for my "spring" dental cleaning!

So I go to the local dental school, because that's what my insurance covers, but I also think it's kind of fun and neat to be helping dental students learn. I also take fairly good care of my teeth (thank you, Habitica, for making me a regular flosser!). Apparently, I'm such an easy patient that I qualify for first year dental students to practice on! Which I, at least, think is pretty cool and a neat way to affirm that I keep my teeth in relatively good condition. A fun little (sugar-free 😜) treat for the day!

Current Mood: accomplished

A monster collecting game where all of the creatures you collect are somehow hidden and/or mimic-style creatures. Some of them are still mimic-style treasure creatures (pulling examples from Pokémon, this would be Voltorb, etc), but some you have to solve puzzles to reveal (Spiritomb), and some appear to literally be part of the scenery until you interact with them, either in general (Stunfisk, both original and Galarian) or in specific ways (watering Sudowoodo in Gold and Silver).

I just think it'd be a neat twist on the idea. (Possibly because, of the two dozen or so fakemon I've come up with, two have been mimic-style 'mon a la Voltorb, which is a bit disproportionate!)

Current Mood: dorky
