I've created a new button, if anyone has linked to me using the old one and would like to swap it out. It's at the bottom of my main page, as usual. I finally dropped $19.99 + VAT on Aseprite. The learning curve so far has been steep but I hope it's going to be worth it.

I haven't taken the plunge (maybe I'll commit to doing more pixel art one day) but I love Aseprite.

Thanks. I can only take credit for the text effect, really - the base if from Foollovers. I actually didn't have a difficult time animating the letters and moving them INTO Aseprite once I had that in GIF.

Interested in astrology? Many people know the basics of it and looking into charts for an individual, but why not think a little... bigger? I'm starting to look at the "natal" charts of certain corporate and technological entities. Is anyone else curious about the astrology of Unix? Amazon? Twitter? https://fabled.day/future/astrology

I am really, really struggling with finding the locations where some of these corporations were founded, which would make chart generation easier. I use Hellenistic whole sign astrology, in case anyone is curious, but I'm such a newbie.

Thank you, but I give primary credit to https://foollovers.com for providing the gorgeous materials and initial template. I just changed a few things.

This is a note to whoever messaged me pleading. I've removed the audio from the main site as requested. You made cogent points, no lies there. It was, indeed, a frivolous, annoying feature. Now, it's gone. Sorry to those who found the chimes annoying. They won't return!

To be honest, my inclusion of audio when someone hovered over a link was just because of my sheer joy at the ability to quickly and easily do so, rather than the morass that would've been required in the Before Times. That was the only reason. And yes, it was annoying. Sorry.

"I'm thinking I'll write a list of all the reasons the 2000s were somewhat terrible" - Please do lol, I notice a lot of people in this sphere were single digits around then and don't know the full scope. The internet was (somewhat) better and so was media (IMO), but that's only so much...

You might notice this is a semi-major update, but not why! I've added a few lines of Javascript which expand the text and central column when displayed in neocities's screenshots, and also have finally combined most of my Javascript into a single file.

thanks for the follow. i like your writing style and website layout. i’m enjoying reading your stories
