Neocities Rings

Now is 2020-09-21

Priority Zero: Daily Tasks

Staying informed

I am keeping up to date with (almost) everything posted by YouTube and VidLii channels I follow, as well as mutual followers on social media (Mastodon, Neocities, Discord).

Priority One: Weekly to Monthly

Making that cheddar

Taking surveys, watching ads, and using cashback and passive sites to earn Amazon.com gift cards because I like free shit.
Want some referral links?

Website Wednesdays

Every week or so, I publish the progress I've made on my sites - CD5K, Bytemoth's Brook, and the MothZone.
Current task: (Re)creating the rest of the Brook.

Priority Two: Occasional/On Hold

Plundering the Archive(.org)

In order for my website to have an authentic 1997 aesthetic, I am gathering GIFs and scripts from abandoned Geocities homepages.
Perusal progress: 320/951

Securing sysop status

I am (slowly) setting up an oldschool BBS, web forum, and Pleroma instance on some spare computer systems.
Current task: Reinstalling Windows 98.

Reading webcomics

Homestuck aside, I have not read webcomics since July 2015. Should probably get caught up and see if it provides any inspiration for my own stories.
Recently binged: Gene Catlow (RIP)

Priority Three: Serving Temporal Jailtime

Expanding the collection

I want to continue to collect games (physical and digital) and systems that interest me. Expensive, though. Instead, I'm currently picking up some old digital cameras for cheap. Used camera acquisition has been suspended in favor of reviewing soap bars for the duration of the pandemic.

Growing lemons

The erotic writing projects are currently taking lower priority, but the ideas for them are stacking up.
Hypothetical future lewdfic count: ≥240

(Not) making videos

I have the equipment to start doing reviews and gameplays, but finding time to record and edit is another issue.

Build More Computers

PC-5014 has served me well, and will continue to do so, but its AM3+ hardware is beginning to show its age. I'm waiting to see if DDR5 becoming available results in CPU socket changes before getting any parts, though.
Alternative Idea: Go full whyTFnaut and make a PC that multi-boots every generation of Windows.

But Bytemoth, what'd ya do today?
