fluffy rambles: Crowd Cow: experiment end
The other day I received what I think will be my last Crowd Cow box. There’s a few reasons for this:| beesbuzz.biz
One of the main things I do in VRChat is live performances, mostly doing guitar and vocals. One spot where this has been lacking is that I don’t have a satisfying way of tracking my hands while I play guitar, though. Here’s some things I’ve tried and things I’ve yet to try. At some point I’ll make a YouTube video about these different things.| busybee
I’ve changed my Lyrica dosing schedule to take it all in the evening, which has helped a little with my fatigue but I’m still just so very tired throughout the day and can barely get anything done.| busybee

Just had a realization that this massive current big-fatigue problem started right around when I started on Lyrica, which hasn’t helped with my pain at all, and I do recall mentioning the fatigue to my doctor and her suggesting some other things to try, but uh, maybe this is just as useless for me as gabapentin was| busybee
Updating this thing I guess| busybee
I’ve been struggling with my fibromyalgia + chronic fatigue lately. So hard for me to do any of the things I want to do. I can push myself into it for something especially compelling but that ends up wiping me out for days afterward. And I feel like I’m missing so much time, too.| busybee
Just keeping track of stuff with my old and new VR PC.| busybee
Here’s some things going on these days, since it’s been a little while since I’ve posted here.| busybee
I finally have a disability hearing tomorrow morning. Feel free to send positive vibes, if you’re into such.| beesbuzz.biz

Things seem to be moving forward, except for where they aren’t.| busybee: fluffy rambles
Just some stuff to get done| busybee: fluffy rambles
I had a long-overdue physical with my doctor last week, and after explaining my various struggles with fibromyalgia, long COVID, and suspected ME/CFS she put me on two new medications, Singulair, for the persistent shortness of breath, and Lyrica (pregabalin), for the chronic pain. I’ve only been on them for a few days but here’s some observations so far:| busybee: fluffy rambles

I finally found the song I was looking for: it was “Lolita” by Moneyshot off the album Bliss.| beesbuzz.biz
Y'all probably know that my views on AI are somewhat nuanced. I’m not 100% “AI BAD!!!” but I’m also hesitant to rely on AI for a lot of things, and generally do not care for generative AI or any situation where you need AI to “reason” on things.| beesbuzz.biz
I (not so) recently finished Echoes of Wisdom and after a ramble about the Zelda games I’ve played and enjoyed, Star implied that I should do a tier list.| beesbuzz.biz

I only just learned from eladnarra’s blog that May is ME/CFS awareness month, which I guess is fitting given that throughout all of May I’ve been getting painfully aware that I may have been developing it on top of everything else.| beesbuzz.biz
Hey y'all, the Furality dealer’s den is open early this year, and this year it’s also free to the public. It’s a pretty incredible world and I’m glad to be a part of it!| beesbuzz.biz
I got very little done this week and I’m feeling pretty bad about it.| beesbuzz.biz
Some comments have happened on certain other sites from my last post about the Comma. Most of them are in the form of, “This person is insane/irresponsible/reckless for doing this.”| beesbuzz.biz
Wellp, my whack-a-mole approach finally got to be too much to maintain. The last day or so my server has been absolutely inundated with traffic from thousands of IP blocks, all coming from China, and I got sick of trying to keep up with it myself.| beesbuzz.biz
About a week ago I bought a Comma 3X from comma.ai, based on seeing a bunch of quite glowing reviews of it (and other FSD systems) from a number of car and tech reviewers I trust. In particular, since Kate of Transport Evolved has one and also has the exact same car as mine (2019 Kia Niro EV EX Premium in Galaxy Blue) and speaks highly of it, I decided that this might be a useful thing for handling my ongoing driving anxiety and vertigo issues.| beesbuzz.biz
Whoops, it’s been a little while since I’ve posted here. Well, okay, here’s some of the stuff that’s going on.| beesbuzz.biz
Okay so here’s what was being replaced:| beesbuzz.biz
This video about cutting down on phone dependency has been making the rounds:| beesbuzz.biz
I’ve been accepted into Furality’s Dealer’s Den as a musician! I have a month to get my booth together and I’ve already got it like 90% done. It’s actually in an acceptable state already but there’s some more little things I want to do with the background video, and I’m learning so much DaVinci Resolve stuff to do it.| beesbuzz.biz
I’ve reorganized my bedroom and as part of it I decided to finally address the ongoing issues with my audio setup in there. I have an old AirPort Express which I was using as an AirPlay receiver so that I could play music and podcasts and such on the (rather nice) hi-fi speakers, but it’s been super unreliable as of late, and even when it does remain connected, it generates random popping noises on the speakers — not great when I’m trying to sleep!| beesbuzz.biz
If you are actively hiring for positions in a company that is friendly to transgender people, in a country that is safe for transgender people, and you are willing to sponsor visas for people seeking to emigrate for these positions, I would like to hear from you.| beesbuzz.biz
Stuff’s going on as usual. Here’s some of it.| beesbuzz.biz
