There was a fight involving a weapon at the smoking section last night. In response, the man in charge of the shelter shut that area down permanently, and also the parking lot adjacent to it. It’s where I parked my car all last year.

A year ago I went to sleep for the last time in a room by myself. Tonight I’ll be sleeping in the presence of about 30 other strangers, as I have for all of 2025. None of us should have to live like this. Next year I’m determined to get out of here. Then, revenge. #homelesslife

The rain has been nice lately; I’ve had a little bit of privacy sitting in my car since the streets are mostly empty. I’ve been struggling though. (1/4)

Bunkmate is coughing up a storm. Overheard him say he had bronchitis while we were standing in line for bed. I usually just sleep in a surgical mask but this seems like an N-95 kinda night. He’s not loud or fidgeting, so not too bad overall tbh. #homelesslife

I was really angry last night. Someone stole the pillow off my bed when I left to put my toothbrush back in my car. First time that’s happened in almost a year here.

The shelter is letting us rest in the dorms today since the main hall is serving meals. It’s mostly empty. I’m loving the peace and quiet. It was foggy and serene outside for my morning walk.

It’s a nice reprieve. I’ve been overstimulated for what feels like an eternity.

I’m working to create a roguelike/MMORPG hybrid where players succeed through helping eachother. It’ll be played through Twitch chat! (1/4 🧵)

I’m thinking a lot today about blogs, and how a return to personal websites would benefit all of us. I think we’d need to make some new tools (or reinvigorate some old ones, like RSS).

Mario Power Tennis: This game consumed my life for a couple years; had a roommate in college who I’d play against for hours on end, multiple times a week. Other friends would stop by and we’d 2v2. If you disable special moves the game is SUPER well-balanced.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the coworking space I was thrown out of recently. Today I saw a post about disseminating a “how to work with me” document to other people in a professional setting. I think it would have been helpful to me. (1/7) #coworking #neurodivergent #etiquette

Had a good chat with a friend last night. Helped me reframe a lot of the thoughts that’ve been getting me down. Things are rough but I’m making little bits of progress every day. Still have hope.

Hoping the county’s employment services are helpful this week.

I’m trying to continue the daily habit of posting about my life (and my work when possible). I’ve been using Snapchat because I’ve used it in the past and the interface is simple. I’ll try to mirror the videos here for at least the near future. (1/3) #homelesslife

I got banned from Threads. No reason given for why. I’d like to think I’m a pretty tame person: I don’t advocate for violence, or do anything else that’s against TOS. Given all the other bad news I’ve had recently this is really frustrating. #threads #meta (1/7)

Glizzies for lunch today. I got seconds. Started walking in the mornings again, and posting a thought of the day on Snapchat. Will repost here when I refine it a bit. Happy Halloween! (1/2) #homelesslife

It was hard to move out of the space. It took the longest to disassemble my car’s contents and rearrange them to fit my computer, monitor, etc. If they won’t let me come back I really need to rent storage space; I want to avoid further damage to my PC from sitting in the car. #homelesslife

I re-evaluated how and where I ack/nack messages and implemented some self-healing for StreamerBot's connection to the RabbitMQ server. This was the last of the ack-based errors.
October 23, 2025 at 10:14 PM
I was mishandling "acks" which caused this infinite looping yesterday. I tried banning my bot temporarily to avoid hitting rate limits for the site. I unbanned it a little early: StreamerBot had hundreds of messages in its queue. I've been meaning to write a rate-limiter for the bot... soon!

I've been wrangling with @rabbitmq.com all morning/afternoon: I think I finally got the new setup for quests figured out. I'll share some screenshots in the replies. Gonna try to send a stream soon to test it out: stop by to see if the server melts down! #gamedev

I had a wonderful weekend. I was able to stay at the coworking space today and yesterday. It was a hell of an upgrade to the curb (pictured) and the crate I posted in the past. I did my laundry on Friday. Starting to feel human again.

I implemented the first #Achievement for my stream! It's a limited-time recognition for early participants in my game, Comrade Connections! Type "!groundfloor" in chat when I'm live. Available through October! #Twitch #MMORPG
September 29, 2025 at 8:10 PM
I didn't stream today, but I DID finish a key component of my achievements system: creating the first Achievement in my database! I'm hoping to get the system fully operational by stream tomorrow! See you then! #Twitch #gamedev #MMORPG #MongoDB #StreamerBot

I’m spending too much money on food. I only get $10 a day. This is supplemented with breakfast at the shelter (and lunch on weekends). The weekends have been harder because of the heat outside and lack of running water at the shelter. (1/3) #homelesslife

Thank you to everyone who's been lurking as I try to reach affiliate! Two more streams to go (allegedly, Twitch can be silly with these things)! See you in a couple hours. Probably continuing to work on some emotes and maybe testing new features with #StreamerBot
August 21, 2025 at 6:51 PM
I also made some progress on #StreamerBot Client: I implemented caching for user information to reduce database load. I included a screenshot of the server output. Tell me if you're curious about the code! (2/2)
