Edge of Midnight: Base Map Progress XVI
Mar. 3rd, 2024 09:38 pmWhat I've got left to nail down in the Triangle:
R'o
Mantiev
Stork's Rest
Actonn
Altharra
Deerlam
Fooled Again
Freeman's Port
Newlin
Overlinn
Passarra's Dream
Fenris
Soroya
The last two have to fit with the maps in Firewall. Not sure whether I should pick stars for Vashti and Qiris as well.

Pandemic: Mask-Shopping
Oct. 4th, 2023 06:19 pmHas anyone on my friendlist here tried this company?
https://www.ppe-supply.com/
A stranger I encountered at a Shoppers location over the weekend was wearing an orange KN95 that she attributed to them, and I finally tracked down the website. Looking for opinions on their product...

Which would you say is going to be easier to remember for a layperson? An SAO catalogue number or "BD ##º #####"?
I'm betting on the SAO number over the Bonner Durchmusterung.
Yes, this is for the Edge of Midnight base map project.

Music for the Good News from Toronto
Jun. 26th, 2023 10:02 pmMusic to celebrate the news from Toronto tonight by:
1. "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang

That should do for openers.
Willing to consider other/additional suggestions!

Offers to translate to other languages are welcomed. I won't be able to pay anything for them, let alone what the translations will be worth, mind you.
Oh, before I forget: if you want, feel free to print this out for your own usage. I might change up the font, and if you want an SVG or PNG or whatever, please let me know.

Tech: "Generic" Stylus Question
Feb. 14th, 2022 06:44 pmAny recommendations for "generic" styluses for use with tablets of multiple origins?
On Saturday, one of the places I visited was Staples on Innes at Tenth Line. Some of the products I saw on offer were "generic", house-branded styluses.
I was hoping some of you might have actually tried such devices with whatever tablets you make use of.

Mask Shopping - October 2021
Oct. 4th, 2021 03:26 pmOkay, if I start shopping for new masks, here in Ottawa, where do I go and what do I need to get?
Because I'm thinking that while I still have money to spend, I want some of it going to masks.

Comics/Illustration: Seeking Supplies
Jul. 5th, 2021 02:50 pmThe last week or so has seen me binging on instructional videos for comics artists. The point - pun, somewhat intended here - is to get back into practice as an illustrator. I'm using both traditional and digital toolkit here, as I believe well-rounded artists ought to be.
Consequently, I'm looking for supplies. Specifically sources for 2 mm mechanical pencil leads, 4H and harder. Which is proving somewhat difficult right now, since the major North American and European suppliers seem reluctant to make and sell any leads harder than 4H these days. Recommendations of new sources are most definitely welcome.
(Yes, I continue to look for office work jobs. Can't afford not to!)

File Transfer Service Question
Feb. 13th, 2021 08:55 pmOne of my relatives swears by it, but I want a wider range of knowledge and opinion on this first.
Okay, it works.

Who on Dreamwidth should I be reaching out to read regularly that I haven't yet added to my list?

A Map of Fictional Great Britain
Nov. 22nd, 2018 09:11 pmHey, British friendlisters. This might catch your attention. Thanks to Jonathan Crowe's Map Room blog for the clue.
Also, does Canada have enough mythology to build a map of its own? I'd think Geist Magazine already did such a map, but I can't be sure yet.

Exoplanet Count - 18 October 2018
Oct. 21st, 2018 05:30 pmAs of two days ago, the count at exoplanet.eu was 3869 planets. I'm led to understand that other sites have a higher "confirmed" count...?
More Games Musing
Oct. 20th, 2018 03:59 pmI may be on my way to wanting to get a games console. This could be my Excuse. The article's four years old, but I've seen a lot of screencaps and some YouTube videos focused on this game in the last few months.

Can anyone on my friendlist recommend good news sources re: whatever's going on in Brussels in particular and Belgium in general? I keep track of BBC News, the Guardian, and the like, but would be glad of sources from inside Belgium.
Looking for more recommendations...
Jul. 18th, 2017 10:12 pm...of people to add to my Reading Page here.
My Facebook feed shows me a bit of a fuss about his candidacy for leadership of the UK Labour Party. What's up with that? Is he not pro-corporation-state enough for some (or most) in the party's upper ranks or something?
