February 2025 Summary

Highlights

Worked on compositing system and applying it to shots in TB-TouringBaikonur, Re-rendered some shots in TB, because I didn’t have the EXR output (some of these may have been rendered previously, but I don’t have the EXRs here, and I do have the PowerEdge server available on site now).

Ink-Masking Example

Worked extensively on editing old WordPress blog entries, fixing broken images, and so on, in preparation for migrating to a different format. Probably want to create a static mirror?

Also made contact with Digitex to change over internet service, and found out we can do co-location through them (possibly). We can also replace our landline phone with VOIP, but this isn’t a Digitex service.

Reviewed ABX code, but didn’t actually make changes.

Finished conversion of Lunatics Patreon to monthly subscription format.

Found out recently that Gumroad no longer supports listing physical products, so I’m going to have to set up a self-hosted storefront sooner than I had planned.

New storage hard disk drive for Sherlock (Rosalyn’s desktop).

Video Log

Made just the one video log on 2/17.

I didn’t edit this one quite as well as previous one, and I do ramble a bit, but since I haven’t made very many video logs this Spring, maybe it’s worth including more here. Also I may have invented a word at one point — I still don’t know what I meant to say, but I hope the subject is clear from context.

Production Timelapse

Although much of February was spent on archival work, I did spend much of the end of the month on compositing the “TB” / “Touring Baikonur” scene. Some of the sequence needed to be re-rendered, and since I have an adequate server available on-site, I used that to render them.
