The tech is ready. Now it’s time to think about the actual screens, graphics, and overlays I’ll be throwing at the world. Here’s how I went about updating them all to try to bring a little order to the chaos.

KPotD #100: Nurse Oscar
I’ve been feeling under the weather today and Oscar apparently picked up on it the moment I got out of bed, because he’s been stuck to me like a snuggy little burr. Stan is usually the nurse when one of us is sickly, but I’m happy to see Oscar helping out. He definitely makes me […]
Streaming Upgrades, Part 1: Streaming Tech
If I’m going to stream and expect people to listen and watch, I’d better make it an experience worth their time. Here’s the first of a three part series about bringing our stream to version 1.0!
KPotD #99: A New Trap
Most cats are susceptible to cat traps (aka cardboard boxes), and Oscar is no exception. I think he’s actually more attracted to them than the average house feline, given the speed at which he appears in them once they’re opened. He set a new record today; in fact, I’m pretty sure he teleported into this […]
KPotD #98: Tiny Guardian
Strong Independent Kitten has been hanging out on the dresser lately so he can keep an eye on the squirrels and robins sneaking about in our yard. He also eyeballs the dog from up there, which is how I managed to catch him being still long enough for a picture today. As you can see […]
KPotD #97: Stream Helper
We’ve been busy today and haven’t managed to catch Oscar cooperating for a picture, so here’s one from last night. He decided to help me watch Brian’s Twitch stream in a position he hasn’t occupied since he was tiny. It started as him stealing the lid to my drink and flopping into my seat to […]
KPotD #96: Busy Caturday
In addition to knocking out the housework, we made an impromptu field trip to buy a new microphone for Brian’s streaming setup today. It was a nice mini-adventure and I even managed to cook dinner before the stream. Oscario did not approve of us being gone, however. He ditched me to sleep on the freshly […]
KPotD #95: Rainy Friyay
We had a lot to do today and managed to schedule it all between rain storms (mostly, we hit some rain on the way to the gym). Oscar did his part by being regal on the back of the loveseat after dinner. He looks like he’s posing, but he was actually primed to chase Nutter […]
Elite: Beagle Point, At Last.
We made it. 3 months and 18 days. 100,000 light years. Jump number 2,070 brought us to Beagle Point, and the end of the Distant Worlds 2 Expedition for CMDR Lanids and his flock of Harpy viewers.
I learned something unexpected on the way.
KPotD #94: Cold Boi
Oscario got cold this morning while I was out at the gym, so I set him up on my heated blanket and made him a little fort while I worked. Once he warmed up, he resumed his normal depredations and none of us were safe. All is as it should be.
