A slow week for the most part, as I squandered how close I’d got to having one project ready to launch by starting an entirely new other project. Sigh. That said, progress continues, just more slowly than I’d like.
Pharmacoepia Fantastica:
New drugs added this week: Cake, Cloveritol, FX7, Ghostdancing, K-Pop, Love, Nembucaine, NLG, Oleum Martyris, Plomox, Snow Crash, TC-6, TimeSerum and Vertigo for a total of 208 drugs now described on the site.
Finally finished a medium-sized project this week, much to my delight. You can now https://www.thecentrecannothold.net/frontpage/watch-a-random-bluey-episode/ whenever you wish (assuming that you can use ABC iView).
Also, I was more productive than I remembered last week – I added a new Explainer on Something For Cate, mostly for the purpose of clarifying the situation for my American friends: The Dismissal of the Whitlam Government (or “or: Why Are Australians So Weird About November 11?”).
On my other sites this week:
Pharmacoepia Fantastica:
New drugs added this week: Ambrosia, Bynogol, Communion, Drive Right, The Fix, Friends, Gazer Root, GKD, Icpathua, Incredulox, Linoten, Muzon, PRO-Vyril, Triceratops, Turbo T, Tylerin, Ungu, Zembla-4 and Zyme for a total of 194 drugs now described on the site.
A very slow week, as the fact that this is being published on Monday instead of Sunday probably indicates.
Reading Orders:
A slow week, as I eased back into work after my leave ended. In fact, one of the major things I got done was adding the Proudly AI-Free badge, which you can now see here and on my other sites (this is still ongoing on some of them, but should be completed later today).
Pharmacoepia Fantastica:
A bunch of new drugs added this week: Carvati’s Cure, Kosh, Poudre de la Mort Vraie, Provasic, RC-12, Rejuvenex, Returné, Shrilanka and Zydrate for a total of 175 drugs now described on the site.
Reading Orders:
Taking a bit of a break this week for me – I’m on leave from work and I’ve been mostly chilling and riding for the Great Cycle Challenge – which I completed last Thursday.
On my other sites this week:
Pharmacoepia Fantastica:
A pair of new drugs added this week: Aldetox & Praist for a total of 166 drugs now described on the site.
Reading Orders:
Well, you’re probably not surprised that I’ve been riding in the Great Cycle Challenge – I finished my planned 400km, but I had ten days still to go in the month, so I added another 100km to my target, because why not?
More surprising, and considerably more inconvenient, my laptop died during the week, and between replacing it and setting up the new one, I’ve got very little productive work done this week. Two steps forward, one step back.
A slow week for me, between my full time job and my riding for the Great Cycle Challenge – indeed, I did a 40km ride yesterday that caused me to be late posting this week’s update. But I’ll be back to regular Sunday posting next week.
On my other sites this week:
Pharmacoepia Fantastica: A handful of new drugs added this week: Black Forest High, Ca-Fix, fijana, Painaway, Relaxon & Scramble for a total of 164 drugs now described on the site.
Reading Orders: Updated The Saga of the Skolian Empire Reading Order .
This week I have actually done a shitload of work on one of my larger projects… and it was all mostly admin, which while it does help me reach my goals, doesn’t create anything directly visible for you to see. Yet 🙂
I also shared the great Keating! The Musical with some good friends who hadn’t seen it, and got a lot of riding for the Great Cycle Challenge done. And when I say a lot, I mean that on Friday, the tenth day of the challenge, I passed the midpoint of my riding target. I also smashed my fund-raising goal for the year, taking my all time funds raised over the nine years I’ve been doing this to over $10,000.
So I’m not feeling too bad about having very little else to report.
The major thing that’s been happening in this last week, unsurprisingly, is that I’ve been riding up a storm for the Great Cycle Challenge. As of my last ride today, I was at 129.9km completed out of 400km for the month – and I rode that in only 5 days, on three of which I worked a full time shift. I’m honestly rather surprised myself at how quickly I’ve been managing this.
On my other sites this week:
Pharmacoepia Fantastica: A handful of new drugs added this week: Essence of Terror, Sinister Sauce and Tincture of Tenderness for a total of 158 drugs now described on the site.
Reading Orders: Updated The John Wick Chronology.
Another week of mostly working on stuff that’s not yet ready and preparing for the Great Cycle Challenge.
On my other sites this week:
Pharmacoepia Fantastica: A handful of new drugs added this week: Cernadine, Euphorazine, Profillica, Teamocil and Zanotab for a new total of 155 drugs described on the site.
Reading Orders: Added The Marvel Universe 14: The Late Eighties and its attendant event reading orders: Fall of the Mutants, The Evolutionary War, Inferno and Atlantis Attacks.
