A really nice article that spells out all the pros and cons of Pixel and EM/REM in terms of both fonts and element size. A lot of this I already figured but a few areas I was less clear on but this lays it out really nicely and is a nice reference.

I currently have the ComicCtrl engine installed for my future but with Hiveworks blowing up as it is and service itself having not been updated in several years, I went ahead and backed this project. It's another crack at a standalone comic host that is easy to use. They're also offering hosting services and you can donate to other's hosts as part of the backing. It's been fully funded and then some but they're keeping late backing open until some time in Feb. When it's completed it'll be free so the backing is for early access. Something to keep an eye on.

This has been going around but also sharing here, the site as more info. Personally I prefer to just use Waterfox, but it's a nice option for those that don't want to switch their browser.



Oh and

My birthday is on the 7th of February.

Greetings from western Canada

Feb. 1st, 2026 07:51 am
jonw: (Default)
[personal profile] jonw posting in [community profile] addme
Name: Jon (JD) Watson

Age: let's just say I was a BBS SysOp before the internet existed.

I mostly post about: day to say stuff. I tend to lean geeky/tecchy and Canadiana, but I think a lot about lots of things and post topics can get pretty random. I keep it clean, mostly, so you can safely check out my content to decide for yourself :)

My hobbies are: journalling (privately, not necessarily online, but there is definitely overlap), writing, nerding out on home tech projects, self-improvement, and caring for my three dogs. If anyone ever asks you how many dogs is too many dogs, the answer is three.

I'm looking to meet people who: are Canadian OR have geeky job/hobbies OR see normal things in deeper ways OR are sane Linux users (AKA, not the alpha-nerd type of boor) AND are tolerant of the incredibly diverse state the world is in AND kind to things and people that can do nothing for them.

My posting schedule tends to be: Dailyish. Usually more than weekly but I doubt I can consistently hit daily.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: right-wing crap in all its forms, both overt and covert. And, honestly, politics in general. I firmly believe that social media is the worst place to get news or reliably accurate information on anything, and politics has emerged as the most divisive topic to date. Thus, I am not interested in getting involved in political discussions as a general rule.

Before adding me, you should know: I overthink everything and will probably eventually bore you with some deep indepth post about the merits of square toothpicks versus round ones.

2026 personal goals

tozka: title character thinking with a small smile (lady lovely locks thinking)
[personal profile] tozka
I don't usually do yearly goals or whatever because I inevitably get bored and give up on them, but I think I'd at least like to make a list of things I'd ideally like to do for this year, and keep them in the back of my mind.

Here's what I've got:

1. Don't shop on Amazon, with an exception for a Kindle Unlimited sub if/when I get a discount offer
2. Buying used is preferable, when possible
3. $50/month allowance for books (paper or ebook)
4. Learn new skills (tbd)
5. Go on walks
6. Try something new/be open to new experiences ✨️
8. Don't worry about money

Some of my though processes for these under here: Read more... )

Pimp your Small Fandom!!!

spikedluv: (mod: smallfandomfest by candi)
[personal profile] spikedluv posting in [community profile] smallfandomfest
It’s time for another new round of fandom pimpage! Remember, the pimp-your-fandom button is reset to zero, so every single small fandom is up for grabs. Even if someone else had previously signed up to pimp it and failed to deliver. *coff* Not me, of course. *g* *coff* Even if it’s already been pimped once before. Of course, we don’t want you to rehash everything the last pimper said, but we’d love to get your own unique take on the fandom.

Pimping Rules )

So, if you’d like to pimp your favorite fandom, please sign up in a comment to this post with your name and the name of the fandom you’d like to pimp.

(If you’re wondering what people have included in their pimps in the past, check them out here.)


List of Claimed Fandoms: )



Don’t forget to track our Missing: Have You Seen This Fandom? post! Any assistance you can offer your fellow small fandomites in their search for small fandoms will be appreciated.
sisterdivinium: the garvey girls as seen from jp's coffin (bad sisters)
[personal profile] sisterdivinium posting in [community profile] halfamoon
Title: Who did it? Follow the thread
Fandom: Bad Sisters
Characters: Eva, Bibi, Ursula, Becka, and Grace Garvey (JP Williams also shows up).
Rating: T
Length: Eight total pages displayed in pairs.
Warnings: Depiction of canon character death. Spoilers for season 1 of the show.
Notes: 100% handmade minizine done with Chinese ink and red gouache. Taking the "innocent" prompt literally seeing as this zine I made last year fits the theme rather well... :)
Summary: JP Williams is dead. Despite the circumstances, a mystery remains: there must have been foul play, right? Who dies like that? Surely it was one of the Garvey sisters...

(Over here!)

Could I maybe have a Bad Sisters tag...? There will be more of them to come, hehe.

Title: Waking Up
Fandom: Disney (Sleeping Beauty & Mulan)
Characters: Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) & Mulan
Rating: G
Summary: The true love of friendship works just as well as anything else
A/N: I loved "Sleeping Beauty" as a kid and still enjoy it as an adult, but in trying to find a fit for this prompt, I realized that Aurora doesn't do a whole lot on her own. She's the very definition of innocent. So I found her a friendly counterpart who was the opposite of that. Please ignore any imagined time differential between the two worlds and just let it happen.

SFFest38: Round Thirty-Eight Closed

[personal profile] spikedluv posting in [community profile] smallfandomfest
I’m sad to say that the thirty-eighth round of Small Fandoms Fest has come to an end, but we’ve had so many great submissions, and now we get to look forward to next round!

For those of you wondering we had 53 submissions this round in 32 different fandoms, as well as 3 fandom pimps. Thank you so much to those of you who made the move to DW with us and to those of you who are just finding us. I appreciate that you chose to play in this sandbox despite all the other holiday challenges and exchanges you have to choose from.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in this round, whether you submitted prompts, wrote fanfic, created fanart, or pimped your fandom, your involvement helped make this round a huge success! ♥

Participation buttons will be available shortly, and the call for prompts for the thirty-NINTH round will go out on May 1st, so mark your calendar! *g

Welcome to HalfaMoon 2026! We're kicking things off with the theme of The Innocent.

Here are some ideas to get you started: When I think of the innocent, I think of someone untried by the world. Whether she is a young girl, testing things out for the first time, or maybe someone older enthusiastically venturing into a place or situation where she hasn't taken the time to think of the consequences of her actions. Is the innocent always the damsel in distress or does her lack of cynicism help her find a solution more easily?

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Want to get a jump start on tomorrow's theme? Check out the prompt list in the pinned post at the top of the page. Please don't post until that day.

Please label your posts in the subject line by type (fiction, vid, recs, icons, etc.), fandom, and the names of your female character(s) and/or pairing. If you're writing for a particular day/theme, having that info in the subject line will be helpful to the mods. (Example: Day 1 - Fic - Star Trek - Nyota Uhura).

Have fun and enjoy this year's fest!
