Just Another Day

Recap of various things accomplished on the site this year.

Main Site

• Neverending "Error 503: Service Unavailable, Server Busy" messages. I still do not understand why.
• Contact form disabled due to spam bots. Contact information contained on About page and several other similar locations.
• Links page removed from main site. I haven't touched it in years, half the links have rotted away, and I used to get a lot of spam from jerks wanting free advertising for their cute little articles about their favourite five fonts. Another reason the contact form was removed.
• Tons of bugs and glitches fixed.
• World History Timeline page added to hold all my historical research notes.
• Phonic Chart with Diacritical Marks page has a few new pronunciation guides for letters in other languages.

Blogs & Social Media

• Joined Bluesky.
• Joined Mastodon.

Just Another Day

• Tidied up the novel's table of contents and added back the synopses for each part.
• Multiple typos found and corrected.
• Official prologue pages 01, 02, and 03 have been remastered until life complications prevented continuation on this side project.
• World history page expanded. A lot. It is no longer just six bullet points. And the research notes below it are twice as long, which I later officially added to the main site on the World History Timeline page. JAD is not my largest project, nor my oldest, but it's my most complete.
• Aruné and Éshurna lightly mixed in with the world History page. Oh, yeah. They now canon in JAD world and officially listed on the Extras page, in the territories, and on the timeline, as well as both of their pantheons, which makes three official ones and counting. I need to add a deities subsection in the World folder.
• Creature list renamed to bestiary, and has been reorganized and expanded tremendously. (Also still a work in progress.) Originally, the creature list was divided into "intelligent", "monster", and "beast" categories, but after the naga got put on the snake page, the beastiary became a blended family.
• Territories list is being expanded to better understand Tirhanon's crops and trade routes, particularly for their spice trades. Which also means a new series of maps are on the list, because I finally worked out the continents and continental plates for at least two-thirds of the planet, and now I almost know where the earthquakes and fault lines are. Still need to work out jet streams and resulting tsunamis and hurricanes. Bless Nullschool.net for their amazing wind maps and rotatable globe, it has been a huge help! So now two-thirds of the world is arranged, with another third a blank slate for future endeavors, or, JAD's equivalent of a Pacific Ocean. Time will tell. With Saryria now in the JAD family and technically situated in the southern hemisphere below L'aernth, I'm preparing to bring chocolate to Shanku and the gang. Imagine the look on Ina's face the first time she has cocoa!

Personal

• I have no New Year Resolutions beyond continuing to fight to get full custody of my children and all things associated with that. This case has been going on since October 2023. Over two years of bullshit with no progress. Just deteriorating situations with kids collecting mental and physical scars and hospitalizations. At this rate, they're going to be 18 years old and grown before this nonsense is over, if they live that long.
• As of today, it has been eight weeks and three days since I last saw or spoke to my children. This has not been consensual from me or my children.
