I’ve got the final volume of the Mayfair Chronicles completely recorded and will be putting the final touches on it this morning. I’ve been using Audacity for converting my Audible books I definitely will be listening to more than once to MP3 because it makes them easier for me to access with JAWS for Windows and eventually only Narrator, using these screen readers with a player I can efficiently run in the Windows environment.
Unfortunately, Amazon seems to suffer the same disease with their software for Windows that Apple does. Their idea of accessibility is a joke, and I’m tired of being punished for daring to live with blindness. So, converting things to MP3 for my own personal use is my best solution.
I slept somewhat last night, using Tummo and a few other tricks to help things along. I know I traveled, me vaguely recalling a vision in which I was talking with one gentleman about buying real estate. We seemed to be in a parking lot in front of a single level office building during midafternoon. It was overcast and raw out. This weather condition seems to be setting itself up as a kind of theme of late.
What it means? “I don’t have a clue.”
Maybe I’m about to get another offer in the mail from a realtor to sell my parent’s house in Delaware? I’m not even sure how the hell someone from New Again Homes connected my name with the address. “There’s no reason I should be receiving any solicitation from anyone involving that address.”
But, if it happens again, I’ll start making phone calls to find out what the hell is going on. If Dad put my name on something without my authorization, he and any other parties involved will be dealt with severely. “I will not be taken advantage of.”
It sounds pretty icy out there. I might attempt a trip out this afternoon, depending upon how intense the sun is. But for the moment, I do believe that after yesterday’s slushy event, I’m just going to stay put.
My sense is that, after I wrap up with my audio project, it’s time to begin back posting more of my journal to this website again. I’ve already taken care of the server regarding the latest kernel update for the system and WordPress 6.9 update, and everything seems to be running smoothly.
I’m thinking, too, that I should probably be ready to continue work on my own custom built WordPress theme by the new year. I’ve got a lot of work done on it already so completing it shouldn’t be too much trouble.
Do I need to put all of my journal online? Probably not, but I’ll more than likely do it anyway, sanitizing what I need to hear and there along the way. My policy for posting online material is simple. If you are a licensed professional or business owner, I’m more than likely going to use your first and last name. In a case here and there, I may deviate from that. But generally, I will not worry about anonymity there. If you’re just a personal friend or family member, as frustrating as you might be from time to time, I’ll keep last names out of it. I think that’s reasonable.
Since my beginnings in web development back in 2000, it hasn’t escaped my notice in general how the people who know me largely surf my handywork with a view to criticize or object to what I write, only. Beyond that, they don’t visit at all.
Other folks have always generally come to get information, particularly where technology is concerned. They don’t know me but benefit all the same, “Which is cool!”
I am considering taking posts that have a primary categorization via Copilot but could also fit into secondary categories and posting them there as well. The descriptions for these kinds of posts would have to be rewritten and retitled for each category.
However, I’m not really sure I want to do that to myself, let alone anyone who might visit. It is a way to ensure that some posts have a better chance of getting viewed. But I’m just not that desperate for traffic.
I do enough on Brian Schnabel’s Head Space as it is. But if my inner witch feels there’s a strategic reason for me doing something like this with a post, “I’m sure I will know.”
