Update - Good news!
🕑 Added 2023-06-26 05:23:20 +0000 UTCYes, it's another update but this is, mostly, a good one, for a few reasons and topics. As many of you know I've been having some issues with my jaw recently that had a major impact on my ability to focus and do work. Whilst I *could* work it wasn't at a level I was happy with. Now that's sorted I am catching up with things.
PDFs
Because of how I work and design stuff a month or so ahead, it does mean that next month will only be a quick gen/pdf as that was the last thing I was able to make before things got REALLY bad, after that output should be back to normal.
Site Things
I've begun the process of site migration to a new host inc domain name. The older one had some pretty decent customer service, but, the product I had was getting more expensive and I'd outgrown it and needed a little more.
The vast majority of it is done, just waiting for the domain names to fully transfer over, which always takes up to 10 days I've read, often faster.
Once this is done, the tweaks and changes include, in no particular order:
- A dark theme
- Optimisation for mobile and tablets
- Adding more free-to-use gens
- Updating the products/pdf page
- Some behind-the-scenes tweaks inc older post reposters and so on
Will take time for sure, being a one-man and his fuzzy overlord operation, but it now CAN be done.
Streaming
One of the major downsides with everything going on is my health took a hit with things after the dental surgery. Although I healed quite quickly and quite well due to how good the dental surgeon was, I've been left with little energy/constant fatigue as it compounded with the og health stuff AND the heat and humidity here in the UK right now, which long time readers will know its something I've struggled with all my life.
As with the above, I'm ramping back up to my original streaming schedule, but keeping Mondays on standby for now for when things calm down, weather/energy level-wise.
So the streaming schedule is:
- Tuesdays & Thursdays = Games
- Wednesday = Watch Party
Mondays will return at some point, hopefully soon, but, I don't want to say "Oh yes it will be this month" and then have a relapse with things. When you have been chronically ill for a while but start to recover there is a tendency to overestimate what you can do and set things back. That's the stage I'm at right now, recovering, feeling amazingly good, but knowing that I can't afford to rush/push things.
Conclusion
I'm very optimistic about things are going right now. Before the constant pain was putting a major dampener on my mental health (which was also compounding with the ADHD/ASD) and ability to work to a level I was happy with.
I just have to follow the advice I give my pals in simular situations to take things easy (well easier than before).
You hereby have my permission to tell me off if you see me being too harsh and pushing myself to hard work wise heh.
TL: DR
Things getting much better, but having to go slow for now.
