Merry Christmas Eve everyone. Some real good stuff™‘s coming next year that I’m excited about, and in about a week I’ll have milk from last decade. Nice. I’m hoping everyone’s been having a pleasant time this season.

A day or two ago, I set up my Flickr account, another place where I’ll keep and share my photography. The backlog’s there, with some tagging and stuff, so check it out and give me a follow perhaps. One of my pictures from Wisconsin blew up (at least to my standards) for being my submission to Flickr’s Your Best Shot in 2019 group, so that’s cool. It was a tricky pick, to be honest, but you don’t get to go to a place like Cave Point every day.

Oh yeah and I beat my webmaster at SNES Ghost Valley 2 today so 

(It’s privated now, but come midnight this embed’s going to turn into the Uno soundtrack automagically! Isn’t technology wonderful?)

Semester one finals are finally over, and what’s more, I’ve gotten Windows Spotlight Extractor to a solid 1.1. I uploaded the current version of AutoSite to the site (about time), and am prepping for a proper rewrite of the page and readme.

I’ve also posted a couple of my projects, namely Pituophis and Windows Spotlight Extractor (currently pending as I’m writing this), to CodeProject, which is a site I’ve looked to for .NET libraries and docs in the past. More of my stuff will go up there as well because the more reach the better, especially when AutoSite goes gold.

I’ve been in a very experimental mood lately (combined with lynx fever™ :OOOOO) so expect more stuff from me over break (with some photography opportunities in store, I hear). Am expecting to play a lot of WiiWare and Wiimmfi as well, because Tetris Party is fun and Uno’s ok. (I’ll beat you at SNES Ghost Valley 2 next time, Cammy >:3c.)

Speaking of which! Through a relatively straightforward process (I did get tripped up by not realizing you had to extract the .app files as well with ShowMiiWads) I’ve extracted the Uno soundtrack. A real funny thing about that is how when Gameloft developed the game, they didn’t use BRSAR/BRSTM files (as is usually standard for Wii titles), but ogg files right in the open! The full Uno OST’s going up on my channel on the 25th, but you can get at the oggs now if you’re so inclined.

THE SOMNOL BLOG’S ON WORDPRESS, LADS. Nucleus, our old CMS, was being a pain and we made the transition over early. You might not see much of a difference at first glance, but it’s a huge upgrade with proper avatars and a editor that doesn’t suck. End of the year posts are trickling up, so make sure to keep up with it. Bless Gutenberg.

As for this place, I’ll still update it. I always had the group blog reserved in my mind for more fleshed-out content, and while much, much more’s going to be coming from me there throughout 2020 (starting with my end of the year post, as I said, keep following) this is more unfiltered.

Thaaat said, I’ve been neglecting the microblog. Not a lot’s been happening to talk about as it’s mostly pre-finals work. Maybe it’s not that; maybe it’s that I haven’t had the time or thought to write them down. But hey, I managed to finally draw a particular lad so that’s something, and mariteaux’s stream has gotten me into playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon again. Facing my fall 2015 fears, once and for all.

Anyhow, the next thing I’ll probably jot down is the end of the year post, so again, keep a lookout. I can’t explain in words how much being in Somnolescent’s been influential to me, but I can try.

12/14 Edit: End of the year post is here.

Headed west now from the blighted plain
It’s kind of gorgeous in a georgic way
Staring outside, watching every change
I think it’s just a type of way to explain how I miss you
