comix64i want to write differently. i guess to start writing anything i've got to have something to write about. which i considered a challenge before i clicked the little Post button on the top of my cached HTML file, dedicated to the Latest page of the Dreamwidth webbed-site, after reading a biography claiming to have subscriptions entirely based off of the subscribee's post in the Latest page. my post, i mean. but then i remembered while typing that i have a serious ability to begin typing at any point, with no need for pre-context or preparation. im damn good at typing, i tell you what.
yesterday i played more of the NEOTOKYO° pugs, and they indirectly caused me to remember the hex code for the degree symbol, which is xb0, because i was typing "NEOTOKYO°" into my discord status, and i got real tired of being dependent on google and weird Unicode websites for my degree symbol. so i stopped copying it from there and just looked up how to do the Linux equivalent of the Windows ALT-Code thing, where you hold alt and type a code on your numpad, which is converted into a symbol. and now when i type "NEOTOKYO", i also push CTRL+SHIFT+U, and then type "xb0" and as a result an underlined lowercase u appears, and then once "xb0" is typed and the enter key is pushed, my result goes from NEOTOKYOub0 to NEOTOKYO°. hopefully i can remember whichever miscellaneous unicode symbols i use, like the í, which is "xed" but shows as ued because it denotes the strange entering of the "type a damn hex code" category with an underline. linux is weird! also, i suck at NT°!
well, anyway, while on the Latest page, i found the blog of someone who, it seems, only begins posting about christmas, when it's near christmas. like a strange yearly-advent calendar. but i digress, they had linked a beautiful little Flickr gallery, and it makes me want to make one, like how opo did. it's exactly what i meant by little flickrs from or to the style of 2000-2010. also, i guess flickr shows what camera you use. that's cool! and their photos are cool too. i don't post any images or links directly, at least not with my usual style of posting which isn't a chat log. so maybe i'll happen to send it in that Garry's Mod server and then decide something poetic was written and the reader shall be graced with coincidental photography whenever i decide to copy/paste a given log to my blog here. and i don't want to post it now anyway, not to gatekeep, but i remember a few more or at least one more in particular and i want to compile them before i post about them.
after a few moments of scouring, i found the other in particular, and if i ever do compile them i'll add opo's page for good measure. but hopefully i'll first assemble a good few photos of mine in their style as well. i want to be a part too. :-)
