Jun. 8th, 2026 10:57 pmirilythA pretty good day at work today, in that I finally got enough brains together to figure out the last few vexing problems on my current big project, and am ready to go live with it tomorrow. Then comes the long tail of getting individual things moved from the old system to the new, but I'm looking forward to it and none of it seems intimidating, so hey. I went shopping in the early afternoon, and made Northwoods chicken and broccoli for dinner, and now am going to bed before it gets any later.
2026 Ignyte Awards
Jun. 8th, 2026 10:00 pmpsocopteraNote that they've dropped the Artist and Comics categories: "Energy around the Artist and Comics categories has flagged over the years. From judges, voters, and finalists, we've consistently seen low numbers in noms, votes, and responses to emails. We've made the decision to eliminate those categories this year. This is not about their validity or significance as contributors to the field! Those things are indisputable. We hope to see them recognized in meaningful ways from other award entities."

Jun. 7th, 2026 11:05 pmirilythQuentin and I did in fact managed to get up early enough in the morning to bike to Trader Joe's, and make it back to still have time to go to REI to shop for shoes for him; the sneakers we've been getting him have been wearing out alarmingly quickly, so we wondered if some hiking shoes would be a bit more durable. He likes them so far, but the real question will be how long they last. :^p Anyway, we made it back from that in plenty of time for him to have lunch and get a bit of homework done and head to D&D, which Juniper drove him to on her way to a friend's birthday party, a first that seemed to go fine. :^ ) I took a nice nap while they were both out, and feel much less vastly behind on sleep, but I should get to bed now in hopes of starting the week on a good note.

Jun. 7th, 2026 12:45 pmirilythA pretty chill day... I think? I've been writing these the following morning, and I remember very little about yesterday, so probably nothing too weird happened. Quentin and I were talking about going for a bike ride to Trader Joe's in the morning (a recently recurring weekend activity, about a 3.5 mile ride each way, pretty steadily uphill (but only slightly, like 150 feet of gain, but enough to notice) on the way there), but didn't get our act together in time, and then the day got too hot. We watched a couple of episodes of Season 2 of Hazbin Hotel, and are still enjoying it. I took a nap in the late afternoon, and made tacos for a late dinner -- or rather, I coached Quentin through making them! His FACS class has been in their cooking unit, and he's been interested in learning how to make things lately. There was a brief power outage (ten or fifteen minutes?) towards the end of dinner, but not enough to cause significant trouble. We made it to bed early, hoping to get up and bike tomorrow!

Jun. 6th, 2026 09:58 amirilythA very sluggish day today, I was up too late last night and never quite got anything in gear. A bunch of meetings in the morning, made progress on some little stuff at work but not the big stuff. In the evening, Quentin and I watched the rest of Season 1 of Hazbin Hotel, which he liked a lot (and I enjoyed re-watching); we'll probably plow through Season 2 over the weekend...
