I spent a good hour or so tweaking my "Blog-Repost to Socials" part of the script, but things just didn't seem to be working out at all.
-=-=-
Ultimately, I gave up, and opted for good-old fashioned posts of my own.
It sure would've been nice to have the blog post things itself, to Mastodon and BlueSky, but with me posting three things every day even when NOT doing ALChoons and AGameAWeek, it sure would get awfully spammy out there.
Instead, then, I've decided to do what I do on ALChoon-Release day, and combine the three (Blog, Pixelart and Poetry) into a single "A bit less spammy" post.
I'm still going to use my Crossposting script, but will manually type in the contents, likely in the style of ..
Today's Blog : Brief description : Link
Poetry : Link
Pixelart : Link
Though, whether that all fits in a single .. tweet, let's just call them tweets.. I'm not 100% sure.
At the moment, I'm also still struggling to get image posting to work, too..
Perhaps it might just be a good idea to copy+paste the bloomin' thing myself, and then I can post images, too.
..
So, essentially I'd've pretty much wasted a day and a half, then. huh..?
ugh..
So, back to music, and since I hadn't yet started Wednesday's ALChoon .. by Friday.. . I figured I'd better get onto that.
I got a nice melody working, though the joins between the A and B segments is a bit jumpy. I need to fix that.
I also added a single line of lyric, over and over, and .. You know, that doesn't sound all that bad. I'm tempted to leave that as it is!
Would be nice to have more lyrics, but .. Hmmm
I really have to finish that off, today, so again there'll likely be no progress on the Advent Typing Tutor.
.. If I'm honest, I'm starting to lose faith in that whole typing tutor idea.
Would be REALLY dumb to scrap it at this point, though, huh...?
[verse]
The plan I had two months ago,
Seemed perfectly in line.
With the sorts of things I usually do,
During Advent Calendar time.
It felt like it could work quite well,
And bring together ideas.
But ultimately it's feeling like..
.. My worse idea in years.
[break]
[chorus]
Why did I start this?
Why won't it end?
It seems like abandoning things,
Is becoming a trend.
Am I tired,
Or am I just out of ideas?
Don't let me fail.
Let's push on and raise some cheers.
[break]
[verse]
I'll keep onward, then,
On my tutorial quest.
Making up all the elements,
Which make it the best.
And I'll post it all daily,
The way that I oughta.
Your Advent adventure,
Will be just what you're taught-a.
[break]
[chorus]
I know why I started.
To help out a friend.
No more abandoning,
Push it on 'til the end.
I am tired,
But I'll keep on coding it all.
I won't ever fail,
'les I hit a brick wall.
[outro]
My coding will help someone out there, I'm sure.
The lessons of typing are true.
Even if things seem quirky, it's better than naught.
I'll make sure it's exciting for you.
[key change]
[chorus]
Why did I start this?
Why won't it end?
It seems like abandoning things,
Is becoming a trend.
Am I tired,
Or am I just out of ideas?
Don't let me fail.
Let's push on and raise some cheers.
[Dave sits across from Sarah, the estate agent. Green stands behind him, looking worried]
Sarah: So, what kind of property are you looking for?
Dave: Something with excellent ventilation.
Green: He means normal ventilation.
Dave: And reinforced floors.
Sarah: For what purpose?
Dave: For my giant Coke stash.
Green: He means... cola.. He has a lot of cola.
Sarah: I see... and your budget?
Dave: Whatever the insurance pays out for the bunker.
Green: Just show us normal houses, please.
[Scene Two]
Int. First House Viewing
Sarah: As you can see, this has a lovely open-plan kitchen...
Dave: Perfect for the Cola display!
Green: He means... normal kitchen stuff. Like a fridge.
Dave: A Cola fridge!
[pause]
Dave: And a Cola microwave.
[Sarah continues the tour]
Sarah: And here's the garage...
Dave: Emergency supplies bunker!
Green: Regular garage use. For normal garagey things. Like a car.
Dave: I don't have a car.
Green: We'll get you a car.
[The tour continues]
Sarah: The basement is quite spacious...
Dave: UNDERGROUND STORAGE FACILITY!
Green: Dave, no.
Dave: But think of the ventilation possibilities! How much of the land underneath do I own? Can I expand?
Sarah: [To Green] Is he quite alright?
Green: He's had a rough week.
[Scene Three]
Int. Second House Viewing
Sarah: This property has excellent security features...
Dave: For the Cola vault?
Green: For normal, everyday, household security.
Sarah: And the garden shed is newly built...
Dave: Perfect for a Cola Shrine!
Green: For gardening tools.
Sarah: There's also a built-in sprinkler system...
Dave: EMERGENCY COLA DELIVERY SYSTEM!
Green: Fire safety, Dave. Just fire safety.
Dave: I should really get the porcupine to check these specifications...
Sarah: The... what?
Green: Nothing! We'll take the details. Thank you.
