so glad i decided to go to my school library when i started feeling sick during class this morning because otherwise i would never have found a rare copy of a room of one’s own by virginia woolf and borrowed it and have it at home with me right now ready to be continued oh my god

#i love libraries #they also have like a gajillion copies of the percy jackson books so cool of that for them #(they also have a copy of lockwood and co and i want to read it but they only have the translated version #and i just always find them very odd to read :/#translators are awesome and they make so many works of fiction from all over the world so accessible in so many different places #but i always prefer to read a book in its original language if i can understand it well enough to be honest)#AND they also have a copy of the picture of dorian gray #this is great #i’ve always wanted to read a room of one’s own #and i actually had once started a digital copy of it and abused the highlights/comment features at 2 am in the morning #but NOW i can actually read it from a physical copy and read the annotations the previous owner had written #AND take photos of my favorite quotes to have them rejoiced and remembered in my full storage phone gallery #anyways #this is a silver lining #a room of one's own #virginia woolf #booklr #library #nadirants

Writing as a medium

Cons: Restricted to silent words, never able to truly communicate the beauty of a landscape, the emotion in an expression, the serene sound of a bird's song, the tone of voice with which a line is spoken

Pros:

#original #i've put over 10000 words on my neocities site and yet not even a single megabyte #i could store my life's work on a floppy disk #the only files in my stories folder that are over 50 KB are .odt files which i don't use anymore #my big stories (CH and RTR) would be probably over 100 KB in pure .txt form but that just proves the point because 100 KB is nothing #100 KB is the size of a meme in .jpg #plaintext is so so tiny that even my biggest works are barely a speck #storing every individual letter instead of every individual pixel is so much more space efficient #and between hyper-efficient storage and the use of keyboards the digital era is the best time to be a writer #WAIT ACTUALLY #on my neocities i have a jpg of my paper robot battle game and it's over 100 KB #i made the paper robots in an afternoon and scaled the photo way down specifically to save space and it's still massive #oh wait wtf i just copy+pasted Childish Harmony into a txt and it's bigger than as an odt?#went from 130 KB to 200 #there must be some compression in odt that makes it more efficient for large files #but it's definitely way less efficient for small files because i tested it again with the Retired Villain short and it went from 28 KB to 9 #so good to know! use odt for big stories and txt for small ones #i wonder where the tipping point is?#oh hey i found it immediately lol it's around 15000 words or 70KB

Just randomly thought about checking my Scratch account from elementary school and there's a photo of my family's old cat Peaches that I have only one other one of :')

#ik we have lots more of her filed in storage/at my mom's but very few digitized for me to have access to #also reminds me I need to get a SATA-USB adapter sooner than later to make sure I copy my photos of Ebony (and all the general ones lol)#off my laptop's old drive before it breaks fully since I recently purged my Google Photos backups of them for more space #actually digitized is the wrong word semantically i think bc like they were taken digitally but then printed #but then original savefiles were lost for many so scanning them back in would technically be *re*-digitizing? idk lol anyway

Week 43.4/52: October 24th - October 30th 2022 | Day in KTown 🥔

Haven’t gone to Coquitlam for food adventures in ages! Went to try Arirang Hot Dog with Jesslyn and it was pretty huge and yum!! I got their poutine corn dog which is basically just potato corn dog with gravy and cheese curd on the side.... LOL.... but it tasted quite good. Had a cheese pull for days. A bit bigger than Chungchun but it’s also more expensive so it evens out lmao. We only ate one corndog each so we went to have early dinner at Kimbap Cheonguk. Got cheese gimbap & beef gimbap. Also got a plate of spicy rice cakes - long time no eat. Their rice cakes were super spicy and yum I LOVE IT. The rolls kept falling apart when I was trying to pick it up LOL FAIL. WAS SO FULL AFTER. Ended the day with green grape ade from Cafe Bono. I LOVE GREEN GRAPE! 💚

Bro's adopting his 34th cat (as he should)

For the rendered drawing, I used the Autumn Morning background on IbisPaint X

I spent two hours drawing the cat. I think the most terrifying part about this was getting the hands right lmao

My iPad that I basically only use as a drawing tablet at this point apparently has my photos app taking up 5 gigabytes of space of my 10 gigabytes of space. I have one total photo in there. Does anyone know what I can do about this? I really need this thing to work. I don’t really want to delete the entire app because it’s the middle ground between most of my drawings but I will if I have to

#iPad #apple #tech problems #help please #suggestions?#the thing is just under a decade old and it works great outside of having no storage #are my drawings being saved into my photos and just appearing in my drawing app?#drawing #digital art #drawing tablet #tech issues #tech support #seriously if anyone’s got anything #I really don’t want to worry about having to replace this thing and it’s literally only storage that’s a problem #photos storage #storage #storage issues #digital storage

My boyfriend and I went to the storage room (in both garages) and I found a folder with a lot of drawings I made when I was around 13-14 years old (I'm 28 now).

And while it made me feel good to see them because I LOVED to draw back then (and I barely can now...) and because I would remember some of them to be worse tbh I have one complain: what the fuck was wrong with my teen's self???? I was OBSESSED with Naruto and most of the drawings were about Sasuke. It was like elf, elf, elf, vampire and suddenly BAM only Sasuke Sasuke Sasuke. I'm concerned.

#some other day i would like to pick this folder and make a photo of every drawing #then i could save them digitally and keep them in storage again

What's your decision making process like for thrifting pieces? I've started looking at thrifting more earnestly, and at antiques in particular to add a bit more character to my otherwise midcentury-influenced space, but I always struggle with envisioning if a piece will "go" with everything else. But you seem like you've got the mixing and matching of pieces down pat, do I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I've gotten a bunch of asks in this vein so I'm going to go a little broader than this ask to cover the general topic.

On a purely practical level, you need to know what you have. I keep what I call a house journal, which is a notebook where I've drawn out room layouts, with measurements for available space, lists of what I'm looking for, dimensions for things like doorways (do not buy anything larger than your doorways) and even fabric and paint swatches. I also keep a digital photo album of house pictures, so if I'm trying to see if something will go, I don't have to rely entirely on memory.

So, important note: my background is not in interior design--it's in set design, studio art, and graphic design, so for me, I fall back on narrative. When you're designing interior spaces for theater or film, the room is not primarily functional: it is, first and foremost, an extension of the character that inhabits it. The room exists to tell you about the person in it.

And often, that's the tack I take in my house--not using my home as a framing device for myself, but for imagined characters. For example, my living room is The Adventurer, or the Archaeologist. The character for that room is someone from decent money in the late Victorian period, the sort of person who spent their live traveling for no particular reason, and brought home all manner of oddities. The room is rich in color and texture; the furniture is mostly late 1800s, and it's both formal and lived in. Choosing things for this room, I ask if that character would own that object. I also used unifying wood tones, and a similar depth of color, to tie things in. Pick a color palette and stick to it.

My drawing room is the Alchemist. There are lots of celestial elements, but it's a workroom, so most of the furniture is very practical and simply designed. It's beaten and worn in, showing marks of use. There is lots of storage, and curious little things in jars, and plants and bones and the tools of my trade. The Alchemist uses this space to make impossible things.

The question then is not "does this match" but "would the character that embodies this space choose this? Why? What does it say about them?"

And what all of that tells you about me, is, well....I don't know, really?

How to Buy a Computer for Cheaper

Buy refurbished. And I'm going to show you how, and, in general, how to buy a better computer than you currently have. I'm fairly tech-knowledgeable, but not an expert. But this is how I've bought my last three computers for personal use and business (graphics). I'm writing this for people who barely know computers. If you have a techie friend or family member, having them help can do a lot for the stress of buying a new computer.

There are three numbers you want to know from your current computer: hard drive size, RAM, and processor speed (slightly less important, unless you're doing gaming or 3d rendering or something else like that)

We're going to assume you use Windows, because if you use Apple I can't help, sorry.

First is hard drive. This is how much space you have to put files. This is in bytes. These days all hard drives are in gigabytes or terabytes (1000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte). To get your hard drive size, open Windows Explorer, go to This PC (or My Computer if you have a really old OS).

To get more details, you can right-click on the drive. and open Properties. But now you know your hard drive size, 237 GB in this case. (this is rather small, but that's okay for this laptop). If you're planning on storing a lot of videos, big photos, have a lot of applications, etc, you want MINIMUM 500 GB. You can always have external drives as well.

While you've got this open, right-click on This PC (or My Computer). This'll give you a lot of information that can be useful if you're trying to get tech support.

I've underlined in red the two key things. Processor: it can help to know the whole bit (or at least the Intel i# bit) just so you don't buy one that's a bunch older, but processor models are confusing and beyond me. The absolutely important bit is the speed, in gigahertz (GHz). Bigger is faster. The processor speed is how fast your computer can run. In this case the processor is 2.60 GHz, which is just fine for most things.

The other bit is RAM. This is "random-access memory" aka memory, which is easy to confuse for, like how much space you have. No. RAM is basically how fast your computer can open stuff. This laptop has 16 GB RAM. Make sure you note that this is the RAM, because it and the hard drive use the same units.

If you're mostly writing, use spreadsheets, watching streaming, or doing light graphics work 16 GB is fine. If you have a lot of things open at a time or gaming or doing 3d modeling or digital art, get at least 32 GB or it's gonna lag a lot.

In general, if you find your current laptop slow, you want a new one with more RAM and a processor that's at least slightly faster. If you're getting a new computer to use new software, look at the system requirements and exceed them.

I'll show you an example of that. Let's say I wanted to start doing digital art on this computer, using ClipStudio Paint. Generally the easiest way to find the requirements is to search for 'program name system' in your search engine of choice. You can click around their website if you want, but just searching is a lot faster.

That gives me this page

(Clip Studio does not have very heavy requirements).

Under Computer Specs it tells you the processor types and your RAM requirements. You're basically going to be good for the processor, no matter what. That 2 GB minimum of memory is, again, the RAM.

Storage space is how much space on your hard drive it needs.

Actually for comparison, let's look at the current Photoshop requirements.

Photoshop wants LOTS of speed and space, greedy bastard that it is. (The Graphics card bit is somewhat beyond my expertise, sorry)

But now you have your three numbers: hard drive space, RAM (memory) and processor (CPU). Now we're going to find a computer that's better and cheaper than buying new!

We're going to buy ~refurbished~

A refurbished computer is one that was used and then returned and fixed up to sell again. It may have wear on the keyboard or case, but everything inside (aside from the battery) should be like new. (The battery may hold less charge.) A good dealer will note condition. And refurbished means any flaws in the hardware will be fixed. They have gone through individual quality control that new products don't usually.

I've bought four computers refurbished and only had one dud (Windows kept crashing during set-up). The dud has been returned and we're waiting for the new one.

You can buy refurbished computers from the manufacturers (Lenovo, Dell, Apple, etc) or from online computer stores (Best Buy and my favorite Newegg). You want to buy from a reputable store because they'll have warranties offered and a good return policy.

I'm going to show you how to find a refurbished computer on Newegg.

You're going to go to Newegg.com, you're gonna go to computer systems in their menu, and you're gonna find refurbished

Then, down the side there's a ton of checkboxes where you can select your specifications. If there's a brand you prefer, select that (I like Lenovos A LOT - they last a long time and have very few problems, in my experience. Yes, this is a recommendation).

Put in your memory (RAM), put in your hard drive, put in your CPU speed (processor), and any other preferences like monitor size or which version of Windows you want (I don't want Windows 11 any time soon). I generally just do RAM and hard drive and manually check the CPU, but that's a personal preference. Then hit apply and it'll filter down.

I'm going to say right now, if you are getting a laptop and you can afford to get a SSD, do it. SSD is a solid-state drive, vs a normal hard drive (HDD, hard disk-drive). They're less prone to breaking down and they're faster. But they're also more expensive.

Anyway, we have our filtered list of possible laptops. Now what?

Well, now comes the annoying part. Every model of computer can be different - it can have a better or worse display, it can have a crappy keyboard, or whatever. So you find a computer that looks okay, and you then look for reviews.

Here's our first row of results

Let's take a look at the Lenovo, because I like Lenovos and I loathe Dells (they're... fine...). That Thinkpad T460S is the part to Google (search for 'Lenovo Thinkpad T460s reviews'). Good websites that I trust include PCMag, LaptopMag.com, and Notebookcheck.com (which is VERY techie about displays). But every reviewer will probably be getting one with different specs than the thing you're looking at.

Here are key things that will be the same across all of them: keyboard (is it comfortable, etc), battery life, how good is the trackpad/nub mouse (nub mice are immensely superior to trackpads imho), weight, how many and what kind of ports does it have (for USB, an external monitor, etc). Monitors can vary depending on the specs, so you'll have to compare those. Mostly you're making sure it doesn't completely suck.

Let's go back to Newegg and look at the specs of that Lenovo. Newegg makes it easy, with tabs for whatever the seller wants to say, the specs, reviews, and Q&A (which is usually empty).

This is the start of the specs. This is actually a lesser model than the laptop we were getting the specs for. It's okay. What I don't like is that the seller gives very little other info, for example on condition. Here's a Dell with much better information - condition and warranty info.

One thing you'll want to do on Newegg is check the seller's reviews. Like on eBay or Etsy, you have to use some judgement. If you worry about that, going to the manufacturer's online outlet in a safer bet, but you won't quite get as good of deals. But they're still pretty damn good as this random computer on Lenovo's outlet shows.

Okay, so I think I've covered everything. I do recommend having a techie friend either help or double check things if you're not especially techie. But this can save you hundreds of dollars or allow you to get a better computer than you were thinking.

been busy with work and school, but yet ofc i still find time to draw the boys! this time as a human AU!

(btw, i wasnt sure which background color to go with, did i choose the right one?)

a little more info on the deisgns!;

Donnie;

• dreads or die, both for sensory reasons and because thats just very him

• eyes match with his twin (leo) and they both have vitiligo to represent their markings!

• his shell is now just a backpack, both for storage and his extra ams

• eyebrow slit

• utility belt!

• jacket around the waist! personally thats a big sensory comfort for myself, but also in case he every needs an emergency sweater (there wasnt room in the bag)

Leo;

• matching eyes with donnie, vitiligo for markings

• this boy dyes his hair blonde and you cannot convice me otherwise. its also naturally straighter and silkier and his brothers, and he takes great care and pride (ha) of it

• hes the most mixed race!

• red eyeliner!

• ear piercings and black nail polish (hes gay)

• his belt has a medbag

• his shirt has his shell markings!

Mikey;

• he couldnt sit through getting his hair done, so he ties is with a bandana and prayers

• paint everywhere, apron and a digital artist glove!

• his nailpolish is the color of his brothers, as well as a greenish-yellow for April

• his markings are freckles, though they're also on the larger side

Raph;

• he has box braids! this is to keep his hair back and out of the way for fights

• his chest piece is based on his shirt from the turtle tots episode

• scar on eye from the krang, arms wrapped because hes a brawler

• gold eyebrow piercing

• his armour is based on a turtle still, giving him his sharp edges in his frame as well

• he seems the type to peace sign icorre- *ahem*, with a thumb

also, all of their pupils reflect their shape theory! (circle, square, rectangle, and triangle).

now.. should i draw human!leo holding this photo in the prison dimension? (ignoring raphs post-movie scar..)
