Crime Of the Week status report: this weekend I did re-takes of troublesome lines. Once those get edited into place, the majority of the audio work will be done. Music is lined up and I have a logo image I'm content with.

My current hope is to have a trailer out by mid-June, for a July release.

It's wild how much better your audio will sound when you remember to turn your mic around and speak into the front of it.

A tale of two Taytos: How an anthropomorphic crisp became a symbol for Irish identity How a half-man half-crisp in a suit became a symbol of the Irish diasporaβ€”and an important part of the Brexit deliberations

In advance of #stpatricksday, here's a thread of essential articles about Irish stuff which you can present to international friends who wish to understand us better.

First up: a tale of two Taytos, by RΓ³isΓ­n Lanigan.

This ground-breaking book came out in 1974 (back when fantasy by women was still thin on the ground) and so many writers of my generation were hugely influenced by it, as well as by her subsequent work. She was an absolutely master of fantasy literature, and deserves to be more widely known as such.

Pre-show music for Murder On the Orient Express is all songs that talk about trains, which is... a choice.

Currently I can't install the YT app in Kobi, nor play YT links in VLC. It runs ok in Chromium but any vid w/speaking does not line up with video. YT in Firefox is depressingly bad.

I think I can get the thing I'm missing for Kobi from github, but I've never used it, so I have lots of reading to do

My biggest issue seems to be coming from YouTube's unrelenting enshittification - all the easy solutions from years past appear fucked for now.

It does lofi videos in browser fine enough for now. A problem for another day.

Me, a fool, who has not done any programming since Windows 95 was a thing: I'm going to get a Raspberry Pi for my home entertainment, that seems like a much simpler option than what we're currently using

I got my copy early, and will be finishing it this evening. I can tell you that this will easily be one of the best books I read this year. She is setting an incredibly high bar for everything else I read this year.

I turned off Google Gemini and other smart features on my Google account a few days ago. Yesterday I noticed my Gmail inbox has switched to a non-default view and won't switch back.

OH HOW ODD

I wonder if my Hotmail account still works...

Tonight my husband and I saw a play we did together 20 years ago! I am legally obligated to say my husband's performance was better, but it has the benefit of also being true.

I am a 100% full Scrivener girlie, but I've been noodling around in Ellipsis as a way to get off of Google Docs, and I'm a little stricken by how much I love the UI. Looking forward to using it for co-writing.
