Now It's Dybbuk's World




    While the internet was off (well technically it still sort of is until I pay the remainder of our bill Monday) I resurrected a website I found printed off two or three years ago on a full color sheet of paper that inspired me to instead of running two completely seperate websites, one personal as Jerry Lehr and the other gamer alias site Dybbuk81, I'd just use the alias for my personal site and have lehr.me lead to all my site projects instead.

So behold, Dybbuk's World.

Everything is made.

All I really need to do is make seperate music pages for each album having full descriptions to every track, having each embedded from bandcamp to the page. Right now only a few are like this, and the rest just link directly to bandcamp instead. I want it to be thorough and complete, and I'm very damn close ;)

A Week of No Internet

It's been roughly a week since we had the outage across the town and I've decided to part ways with Endeavor Communications for the only other service available way out here in my area, Spark Light. My birthday happened June 9th and I did get my sweet steampunk USB hub shown in the last blog post, the light is just blue not orange.


I recently discovered a little desktop widget app called "Rocket Dock." It reminds me of MacOS the way it gets bigger as you hover the icons. I have everything on my PC set up simplistic and surrounding this little program. So yeah, it better not fuck my shit up ;)


So far out of like 72 "My Favorite Things" pages I've made just 7 layouts and quit already for a while once the internet quit too. Today I finished the outer shell for the PC version of the site, making it look more like a website with something to go along with the dropdown menu above. It is also making it for some reason easier to design. This is possibly due to the fact I only click once and I'm there, instead of hovering under a dropdown menu.

Since the outage has occurred, I've been working diligently this half-work-day and the past week and offdays offline on this full site. I am hoping that when the internet comes back I won't be tempted to upload for at least the small amount of time it will hopefully take to finish my main personal site "The Land of Noise and Fun" minus the "My Favorite Things" section. Mainly I want to finish up "The Noise Vaults" and "The Absynthium Collective" websites.

As My 42nd Birthday Approaches

Playing some Doom64-ified mod by ENJAY years ago that has the down2.wad level from the Master Levels for Doom II's "Maximum Doom" portion, only with 29-31 other levels ;)

Doom 64ifier makes every old 90s wad look ten times cooler I swear!


Doom 64ifier plus NJDOOM2.WAD from Doom Accessory Pack IV

Today is Thursday, June 8th. Tomorrow I will turn 42. I'm not sure what's in store if anything but I AM getting one small thing I asked for from my parents on a whim...


So far... my wife has gotten me these:


 
The one on the right has a code to open (and is based off of the work of Da Vinci) while the one on the left is a 128GB steampunk light bulb.

Soon I would like to get ahold of this fucker:


These are all the better-designed way to make up for the deliberate yard sale loss (or goodwill loss at that) of this uselessly large collection:

I also have a couple 128 gb sandisk cruzer glides and a couple 256 gb's of the same.

Tomorrow we shall see if anything else suprises me, but due to lack of fundage lately I'm not expecting anything nor will I be upset if I only get the hub from my parents and just a kiss or something from the wife. I'm spending the night possibly adding a few minisites to the "My Favorite Things" future pages list:


I may redo the KMFDM one, to be better of course, instead.

Another Friday...

DOOM4GZ

Doom4GZ Ray Tracing

My, let me just say!!!! This is A-Maz-Ing!!
I haven't played it much yet, but a doom mod being over a gigabyte in size that ISN'T that one Terrywad made to be large on purpose with no content is bound to be BADASS. This is basically the original doom remade graphically and game-play-wise to function like 2016's reboot of DOOM. The levels are the originals intact so hopefully no cease-and-desist letter will occur and this shit will move out of its Alpha stage and be a real thing. I downloaded it anyway just in case. My classic doom folder is over 600 gigabytes in size now and the classic game was 0.012 (12 Megabytes) lol. Maybe I have an addiction or something.

In other news I am currently just enjoying my lack of computer usage and spending time with my wife and kiddo while I relax from work with a bad back. I have one offday instead of two this week per request to make up for missing two days and only making eight hours each paid time off. Saturdays are usually my "computer stuff" days so I'm spending my Friday with my wife doing house stuff like my Friday should be.


Doom4GZ Ray Tracing

Oh, and playing MORE of this beautiful shit!

My name is Cherry Rounders and I....I Eat Poop!

 


New Site with New Album coming!!!

This was that old character from 1999 that this past month has scored me $71 in monthly revenue and I've decided to try to make that number higher. Hey, I paid my electric bill!

The new album will connect song to song and somewhat tell a story. I have other album ideas already too ;)

HyperNation, Classic Gaming Sanctuary, Triple Monitors


I was just playing a mod that won a cacoward a year or two ago for classic doom called "The Magenta Spire."


For now, until I can get a monitor that supports DVI, my laptop-only has a dual monitor. Soon it will be my main computer, or I will just have three computers (including the one laptop as one of them) on my long ass computer table for two.

Other than working now on the "Classic Gaming Sanctuary" including four classic video game-related sites including the classic doom megasite project, I am also redoing "The Ville" to be "Hyper Nation."


All of the graphics, instead of being hosted elsewhere, are now all included on the forums site! Now all I gotta do is buy a domain and route it straight here and it's done. Since there are for some reason visitors on occasion to the original "Ville" forums website, I've decided to make this and not stop until its finished, which will only take a couple days work, and just let it be.

Date Night!!! Parts One and Two

 

For our Anniversary on January 28th, 2023 we had a nice date night complete with Leon's Mexican Restaurant in Indianapolis, Barnes and Noble spends, The Flying Cupcake (Also in Indianapolis right down the road), and the AMC Movie Theatre to watch the new movie M3GAN we've wanted to see for months.

And if this wasn't enough, so that the kids didn't feel left out, we repeated the same exact date night, kids included, one week later.

M3GAN was pretty good even with the kids, one of whom is terrified of horror movies easily.
For a horror movie with a PG-13 rating, I liked it.
The Flying Cupcake had large $5 cupcakes, which were also amazing.
