Hello Geocities!

Goodbye Neocities
I am not sure what the life expectancy of Neocities.org will ever be, but they do boast that they wish to exist forever. Google on the other hand, who runs blogger, WILL exist forever. Also, I don't pay $5 a month with Google. I pay nothing. So now with my www.lehr.me domain purchased yearly up to 2037 at the moment, and more to come, I can ensure this will be like a little museum of weird shit when I die for people to still find in the future ;) I'll keep tacking years onto the end while its only 20 bucks a year, and we'll see how long I can make it last. If it ever comes that Godaddy fails, even though my server host Godaddy was on a freaking racecar it was so popular, my address will simply be http://jerrylehrx.blogspot.com. I'm sure some random debris will be leftover on the wayback machine at archive.org or something. Who knows! Anyways fuck it. I'll be off and on this thing here and there. So at the moment all I'm meaning to say with this paragraph is that www.lehr.me now fully goes to my blog and nothing else first.
Note: I still host my files and other websites on my neocities account. It just won't be my main one anymore, as I find it much easier the older I get to just write on a blog or add to a blog page and be completely done! I also don't pay for it now, as I migrated here. I may switch back someday so just bookmark www.lehr.me above all else if you ever want to add a bookmark, or do that sort of thing. I don't.
As for any actual updates, not much, but some. Nothing worth mentioning, just changes to "My Favorite Things" and a few doom additions to the dybbuk81 page. More will be happening after my next work week when I'm off two days again. I'll probably finish some more music. I find that I have less time lately though with it being summer and I'm not inside half of the time, which is completely fine with me.

This site is done, but more to come...
Today my wife and I went swimming at a place called Lake Lemon.
She rode the 9 foot unicorn raft. And since she drove, obviously I etched shit in a book I was going to work on. First and foremost, this blog site is done. That doesn't mean all my projects are done, I just have everything in place for adding to later.
I do intend on doing a "Frustration 2" and a weird coin toss/waiting room/boredom passer game. I had one called Coin slots in 2008 that was just a vbasic test I'm going to include as well. I'm also going to get back into messing around with vbasic to begin with. These games I mentioned will just be printable graphical pages of course, for pocket or home enjoyment by yourself or with others/kids.
I've procrastinated heavily on finishing my last guitar album and last remix album for "Machines and Melodies" before a big break. It seems that I wanted that early, but honestly I have other stuff not computer related to do, and of course time to spend. I know I mentioned stepping away until the fall but I will be here and there doing something at least.
Still contemplating either a vocal album, or a collection of many old lyric sheets recorded today as eps and THEN a modern vocal album. Either these, or nothing at all! Exciting right?! Ok anyways I do want to eventually at least try this out and see how I like it.
As for other incoming blog additions I do intend on giving "Organized Chaos" its own button on the top and full page of informative text about it. A lot actually, and links to everything within. I will also have a full section exclusively for songs with words if that does in fact happen.

Q-Zandronum
Fired up doom seeker. Found a server with "Quake Champions For Doom" amongst other mods last night for Q-Zandronum. Oh and also I might mention, I discovered Q-Zandronum itself. The server I played is not currently running, but it was the best time I've had in a long time deathmatching and I hope to find more like it in the future...
Here is a good one for ZDaemon I just played. I'm not sure when it will come down or if it will stay up very long. [doom.dogsoft.net] is the host, and it usually has some good ones like GreenWar I couldn't get enough of for a while.

New Happenings Here
Welcome back to my blogger website. You may notice if you haven't already a section called "Other Stuff" on the right. I decided to have a miscellaneous section and started to populate it with things I haven't had on here yet since the blog was last used last year.
Firstly, I made a floppy disk-sized album of 15 tracks called "Space Donkeys From Hell." It fits in 1.44MB and has very lofi rendering to achieve 15 minutes of such. I saw an article on a place called theverge.com which I guess now takes a subscription but there are alternate locations online for the same subject. There's this company that runs off of bandcamp and hasn't been updated in a while called Floppy Kick. I submitted this album to see if they'd be interested in me selling floppies but haven't heard back in two years, so here it is, free.
I finally put my 1996 band practice tape up here just because its a piece of uncopyrighted history I felt like I'd share. It was recorded on a cheap answering machine and is the only existing demo we ever had. I had left the metal scene early and started doing my own thing since the year 2000.
I had often flirted with the idea of doing cover songs as a means of practicing vocals, or just to have fun with it. There is also now a ever-slowly-building section today that I added that I will try to add to as much as possible of poetry/lyrics/and song demos. It will have ideas of mine in the realm of recordings, as well as just words I pieced together to say something or feel something. The rest of the page is more or less done or at least has something there. If you run into any problems there are many ways of contacting me, like the comments section of that page, my email, guestbook, chatbox, or even on IRC or some palace chat server I'm sometimes in called Space Palace. Just leave a message anywhere!

Almost Done.
For now, "The Noise Vaults" of course is entirely done as well as "The Absynthium Collective." All that is left: "Machines and Melodies."
Within "Machines and Melodies" I am done with the first four of six albums. All that's left is the rest of "The Structure" and "Refabrications." It may very well be that the 12 tracks that exist for "Refabrications" are enough to complete it. However, I still am only on 8 tracks on "The Structure."
On this website, all tracks that have been completed as of June 25, 2026 have been shared on their pages for all to freely hear since I am finishing the music later and that will not be today or tomorrow, etc. It'll be a while before I pick my guitar back up once I have a creative streak again.
After all is said and done, I will be releasing Organized Chaos. It will be my official release of all this music. If you would like more information, see the link "Organized Chaos MP3CD/USB" above!
