Just yesterday I came across an observation on Erynnis tages in Zone III on 3 May, which I missed to include in this year's list. It has been updated but at the same time I'm no longer satisfied with my season lists, considering the same species only showed up for approximately a little less than a week, encompassing calendar weeks 2023-W17 & 2023-W18 (ISO 8601). The first individual was recorded on 30 April, so just a day before May started.
While I hope that no other species will only show itself for a short period of time between two months, it now is even less in my interest to keep my collection of raw data to myself. On the other hand, I still don't trust public databases such as iNaturalist (due to severe privacy issues) and some local solutions (due to those demanding that all of my observations will be made public alongside my full real name).
I already gave my friend the allowance to use any of my raw data and observations as he pleases, as long as he keeps the pseudonymized credits intact (and shares his potential future profits with me). I will try to replace my current "All Rights Reserved" practice on here with a different license that will be mentioned on all relevant gemtext files and include a proper email address (that isn't pure cringe like... all of my current addresses).
For now, I still have to work on this year's general observations summary. I've only completed a little less than 3/9th of it, so far, so... only pre-season phenomena, March, April and half of May, with the latter currently making up the biggest section.
My math skills are poor, I know.

The shop is opening its doors earlier than expected. While both my personal gemlog and the observation log still are empty, they will be filled with logs over time. One observation log already is in the making.
The only thing I'm still considering, though, is the inclusion of a tiny selection of my photos. All of them already have been compressed but they're hosted on my Medion Akoya and its archive hard-drive only – and I'm currently typing this on my tiny Acer that is incompatible with this HDD's proprietary port (and I lost its tiny USB cable).
Anyway, this is not the most important issue at the moment, in fact all of my shots currently include some metadata that is meant to come in handy in case of copyright violations. While I don't think Gemini would be vulnerable to this, I'm not exactly comfortable with leaking my full name. Not that many people on here would care, though, but I already had some interesting experiences on the WWW that got... rather risky, to say the least. But I disgress.
For now, this capsule is open to visitors that don't mind the lack of photos, despite my camera being listed in my setup gemtext. Once I decided whether or not to create more pages, I might add my capsule to either LEO or the Space Elevator.

One more list to go and one post in need of some tiny adjustments. Still need to figure out what to do with my index page, though.
Considering that I'm growing to love Gemini more and more, it's no longer unlikely that my capsule won't just host some ecological observations. For now, however, this shall be enough until I'm fully comfortable with Gemtext.

Still working on a bunch of gemtexts that may be ready for publishing near the end of the year, given that some involve some basic info regarding the ongoing research I'm working on. Due to the lack of support for tables, I have to get a little more creative, which consumes additional time.
Meanwhile I ditched Tumblr. I don't miss that junk in the slightest, yet I couldn't use this new free time to work on the writing part of my research, so far. First a messed-up sleeeping schedule due to partying neighbours, then an appointment I didn't expect to take half a day, closely followed – just two days after the appointment – by a serious family matter that will keep me on alert for quite some time until everything's settled.
At least I already got the toughest stuff done prior to this. One description needs a minor correction and some addtional information, while two location descriptions still need to be written and one list needs a new addition. But for now I need to collect a little more data and clean my car.
