Scanned all of my CD liner notes / booklets / inserts. 334 total pages, all of which I need to compress / rotate / get in order for archival purposes...this is going to be "fun", but it's probably something that isn't archived anywhere else and it's one of my favorite collections.

too damned much stuff on this website...it's all staying I love all of it but the number of ideas sloshing around keeps increasing and is not at the same rate as the rate of updates...need to get back into actual story writing.

graphics page is now hosting images onsite, and there's some new stuff on there I previously forgot to add
New scene podcast episode, and also a cry for help re: what the fuck went wrong with OBS. Hence why this is an audio-only entry, because OBS won't record for more than a minute and XSplit broke my video after 17 minutes. Woo, technology. https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/musicscene/podcast
Anybody know any good alternatives to OBS? Preferably free / libre but not required to be. I need a screen recording program that can layer multiple windows and do audio mixing from them for the scene podcast, and OBS still isn't working despite my doing the recommended graphics driver fixes.

Well. XSplit worked. Except that the video got corrupted after 17 minutes. So I'm gonna be uploading it as audio-only. Damn it. Wish that OBS didn't decide to break NVIDIA graphics cards. None of the recommended tips from Reddit (reinstalling, checking my system clock, moving to the last reliable version of the driver) worked.

If there's something physically and/or software side wrong with my graphics card, then there's basically nothing I can do about that. The new versions of the driver definitely don't work with OBS, and the "last reliable version" is still getting the same issue, which was not a thing last time I tried it in October '24.

I guess I'll keep using XSplit and try splitting the videos into multiple segments and hope that avoids the corruption problem?
Although reading through all of these will actually be fun. Just in the glimpses I got whilst scanning, I'm impressed at the variety of layouts and density of art / information you can do even with something as small as the size of a CD jewel case. Many of them fold out into cute horizontal posters (wish I had more wall space).
This is what my physical music library looks like, by the way: https://file.garden/ZvBqN3lQEnLVuczj/CDs_grid.png -- very proud of that color / vibes gradient. The page is going to be this grid, but you can click on each one to open up its full set of inserts and maybe they'll have some fun little CSS animations when hovered over. The monologue suggested it and I was like "oh no, that's really cool...more work for me"
