Hi everyone. I hope that you’re well and good. I’ve got a little bit of free time today, so I thought I would write a little bit here. Sure, I could explain how I’m busy all the time like I usually do, but who wants to hear that same garbage over and over again? Nobody, that’s who!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I’d update you about a few things, so let’s drag out headings and\/or bullet points for this one. I’ve been tempted to record a new podcast episode, but I am not 100% sure I want to do that because of laziness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve visited Complicated Noise lately, you may have noticed that a few things have changed. I have done a few little changes on the home page. The things I update stand out a little better. The red titles are blog summaries, blue are podcast updates and other colours are the events I do (which right now, zero are planned).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am working on the registration and account change system now (at a snail’s pace). Registration is open, but it’s using the old system right now. The new one will be rolling out first. It’s a nice little update to Chromeless (or Cr-). (Chromeless is my registration system. It has nothing to do with Chrome because I think you should use Brave, Vivaldi, or Firefox instead. It has been powering my website for a while, but it needs a bit more work. I know no one cares, but I would love for you to test it out when it’s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, my website’s registration\/account stuff is an experiment<\/strong> and the foundation for other projects I work on. I am not interested in tracking you or being someone who ‘promotes’ it. Use an ad blocker on this website to preserve your privacy (uBlock Origin<\/a> comes to mind since it’s not evil like the other ones). I don’t mind. It won’t find anything except for third-party cookies set by Google because I use Google Fonts. What I am saying is basically that you’re helping me define and refine my projects, and I appreciate that. I don’t design it to extract your hard-earned cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also thinking<\/em> about moving to a different type of hosting. I am staying with Dreamhost<\/a>, though. They’ve been good to me since 1998. (Yes, I’ve been on their servers since then!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life in General<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am perpetually tired and have no energy. I am a shift worker, so I don’t do the usual 9-5, 5 days a week. It kind of saps my energy, but I am feeling fine mostly. Things are getting a bit stressful at work again, but I’ll manage. I’m sure I’ll come here and whine about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am homesick. I’m ready to see the world again. I haven’t gotten my COVID vaccination yet. I think I’m getting it soon, but haven’t heard anything about it lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for being here. Thanks for reading this. Thanks for inspiring me. Whatever you do, thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
