I found out yesterday that the server my capsule is hosted on has a guestbook feature! 😁So I added it to my capsule

I started watching The Jungle Book on Laserdisc. It looks and sounds great but unfortunately, side A is scratched, and it’s caused one of the scenes to keep skipping and pausing… I thought my player was going to give way trying ti play it!

I dunno if it’s my browsers I use or the capsules themselves, but sometimes when I try to explore Gemini using LEO or Gemini Roulette, some links don’t work at all, and it really gets in the way of the fun…

My throat has been sore all day, I think I have tonsillitis…

I opened up a minidisc and put some songs on it, and noticed one of them kept skipping. I listened to the source file. Sounded fine. The rest of the tracks played fine as well, so I decided to copy it over again, and now it plays perfectly. I have no idea what happened.

I got a new phone today. (Galaxy Z Flip 3) I didn’t sign into anything when setting up and then immediately proceeded to “ungoogle” the phone, deleted the Google apps and set F-droid as my main storefront for apps. (Set up Aurora as well for apps I can’t get on F-droid)

I got Spiderman on VHS from a market yesterday, and noticed the lid had snapped and was hanging on one edge, so I grabbed the lid from a donor tape I didn’t want, and did a swap job, and it worked, though it no longer snaps back into place, but that doesn’t seem to affect anything. The film plays fine, btw. It’s Open Matte and the transfer is fantastic, almost DVD quality!

I was at music practice, when someone I know from there approached me and asked if I’d be a drummer for his band. I figured why the hell not? He then said that he wanted to contact me online, but couldn’t become I wasn’t on any social media. I thought to myself “Mission accomplished!”

I got a cassette tape job lot a while back, and went to open up another tape in it and realised that it was a type II! I don’t know how the compatibility with tape types work, but it worked no problem with my deck. So I put some songs on it, and sure enough, there’s definitely less hiss than Type I!

I saw Aladdin (cartoon movie) for the first time yesterday. Loved it!

Since quitting social media, I’ve noticed that a lot of people who still use it are unnecessarily aggressive and sometimes quick to insult in an argument. Would make sense given that social media makes us angry for engagement. I don’t know if correlation equals causation here, but on the SmolNet and BBS, both of which are full of people who hate social media, it’s way more chill. Arguments happen, but they fell less heated and usually end on good terms. I’ve found myself to be a lot less judgemental and short tempered in general, too.

Just finished watching Aristocats. I thought it was excellent!

I’ve noticed that since I’ve been using a dip pen for my diary and taking notes (Which I’m getting the hang of now!). I’ve been looking forward to writing, and sometimes if I have ink left, I try to find an excuse, any excuse, to write something.

I was watching the special feature on my Toy Story Laserdisc about the making of the film. As a game dev, I found it super fascinating! A lot of the things they were doing I also do!

The recording session went very well. We all had a blast, and the dialogue turned out great! 😁

I have a voice recording session with some actors I’ve casted for my game tomorrow. It’s the first time I’ve ever done something like this. I’m really nervous but at the same time, excited!

I finally got my hands on a Laserdisc player! (CLD-950) Been watching some films on it, plays great!

I just watched The South Park movie. I’m not normally a huge fan of the show, but I love the film!

I got a dip pen set while I was in Italy a could of weeks ago and have been using it to write my diary. It makes you realise what we take for granted with modern pens. I love it, though. Really makes writing feel like a craft!

I’ve been going down a rabbit hole of modern attempts at inventing new time measurements. Like decimal time, metric time and beats, I honestly kind of want to start using them.

I was about to digitise a MiniDV tape I made over the past year, and the tape inside snapped. :| Hope I can find a professional to fix it without messing things up.

Just came back from my Holiday. We had to spend a night in Germany because our first flight was late and we missed our connected flight. Was fun otherwise, got some good Italian practice in. Feels like we’ve been in Germany/Italy for way more than a week. I’m still getting used to life back home.

My “new” camera arrived. It turns on, reels the film in, and all of the mechanics for the lens seem to work. So far so good, though it seemed slower at taking a photo than the previous one. I hope that isn’t anything to worry about.

I managed to win a camera of the same model that got ruined in Italy off eBay for £15! They say it’s untested, but in good condition. Hope it works!

I came back from my holiday in Italy. It was fun exploring the second hand shops! They have all sorts of things that thrift stores never do at home! Although when I went to get drinks from a convenience store, and stuff them in my bag, it leaked, and totalled my film camera and most of the photos I took… I hope to Christ it can be fixed…

I’m going to the airport to fly to Italy first thing tomorrow. Kind of nervous, because it will be my first time going on a flight by myself. 😬

I’ve been delving into 3DO homebrew, have managed to load some images and make the controller cycle through them. Compared to the PS1 and Sega Saturn, the 3DO dev has been a much smoother experience so far. The community welcoming and helpful, too!

I got this game called “Virtuoso” on the 3DO the other day. The game is objectively terrible, but I can’t help but love it for how quirky and how early 90s it is!

I’m going through my backlog of games, and played through Parappa the Rapper 2. Feels like it improved on everything from the original, and it has an amazing soundtrack! The game does crash on me on one specific cutscene, though.
