Stuff! And things!
Hello! It has been a hot minute! I should probably post things here!
Show went well
My first full VRChat concert went pretty well considering it was my first time doing such a large set. Previously I’d done single-song performances or song-circle gathering type things, so there’s a bunch of stuff I learned during the process of doing this.
TODO
Just tracking stuff for my own reference and also so y'all know what I’m up to too
Bandcrash updated
Well, this is silly: I just discovered that Bandcrash doesn’t properly escape HTML entities in the web preview player. Or rather, it didn’t. It does now, as of v0.7.9.
Upcoming VRChat performances
I have two upcoming VRChat performances happening.
- On Wednesday, August 28, at 7 PM PDT, I will be performing a song off my upcoming album Transitions at the Trans Academy’s “Moonlit Academy” concert series. Join the Trans Academy group for access to the instance.
- On Friday, August 30, at 3 PM PDT, I will be playing a full set of my songs in-world. This will also be streamed to my owncast instance for folks who are unable to join in VR (and I’ll hopefully record it for YouTube as well), but for the best experience, join my VRChat group for the easiest instance access.
UPDATE: I have made a separate VRChat group for my music stuff, MUSIC.1138. Please join that one for my VRChat concerts!
I hope to see you there!
Album conundrum
Okay so, let me explain a thing about my two upcoming albums, and then a thought about a possible change of plans. I’d like to hear folks weigh in on these ideas.
Statuses and such
Does it count as navel-gazing when my fursona canonically doesn’t have a navel?
August 19, 2024
Wellp it’s another day that I feel like talking about.
Trying out Zed
The other day in a chat about text editors (you know, the most important thing to anyone who spends a lot of time at a computer) someone recommended Zed and I figured I’d try it out. So this blog post is the first thing I’m writing in it.
My editor of choice for the past 10 years or so has been Sublime Text, although I’ve stayed with version 3 since I didn’t like some of the changes made in 4 (more in terms of features than in terms of licensing structure, although the latter was also a disincentive towards upgrading). At a glance, Zed looks like it’s a bit better in general.
So here’s some ramblings as I get acquainted with it.
Upcoming livestream
As part of the Fediwave Artists Streaming Series, I have a concert scheduled for Tuesday, August 13 at 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-0700). To watch, join my personal Owncast server. I’ll be playing acoustic versions of a bunch of my songs, and answering some Q&A as we go! And maybe sharing previews from my upcoming album!
