Staring at the same problem for three hours now, trying my best not to scream and wake up the neighborhood. When does rubber ducking just become delirium? It's too bad I'm stubborn and don't know when to walk away (besides taking my time to post into the void now).

New new plan... Step one. Create small showcase page on the main site. Step two. Create components individually. Step three. Layout components on a showcase page. Step four. Admin SPA and DB + API prep work. Step five. Site transfers to the same design framework and migrations. Step six. Tie ins.

Why is building a multi-tenant platform with granular controls and features easier than me being able to design and pick my own fursona?

Finished the template, again. This time I kinda like it, but it's generic. Now to do the fitting in of existing sites. Now I just need to retrofit those sites to the new system, finish the new sites, wire up the admin panel and DB, make the actual admin panel, hook all those things together and...

Study for the next exam. Spend 40 hours on project, throw it out because its bad. Study for the exam. Spend another 10 hours mapping out new approach. Study for exam. Do minor maintenance on existing work. Study exam. Revise my new plan. Study. Existential dread. Exam.

You would think that there would be better deals on a VPS with all the damn data centers popping up. Instead you are gambling on performance and trying to find something that is actually cost efficient. The worst part is you won't even know until after you are running it most times.

Even if the news doesn't cover it anymore, there are people still severely impacted in Venezuela due to the recent earthquakes, including some of our favorite artists. Check them out, when you have the chance and consider commissioning them. Every bit helps to those in need.

I’ve overhauled my website! - Navigation menu - New UI for comic buttons - My writing now has its own page - Fresh design (fonts, colors, etc) - Comic pages now have links to their respective Bluesky posts (or other sites, eventually) Check it out on coral.dog :3c

Fun fact, in case I haven't mentioned it before: I usually paint on only 1 to 3 layers. I start with the lines and base colors each on a layer, but typically merge to one when the painting gets more refined. If there's a background, that is also on its own layer. Anyway, here's a WIP! #furryart

A loose digital painting of an anthropomorphic African wild dog character, cropped to just the head and face. She has black, tan and yellow markings, and the background is a medium brown tone.
