My room is so nearly finished now that Husband has ticked it off his list as done. The cupboard doors went on yesterday, and I'm putting in the shelves as I put things inside them. We're probably going to have to go back and get the remaining two shelves that I initially thought I didn't want, though. I thought, with the layout, they would be too difficult to reach to be useful, but I no longer think this is true. Not urgent, though.

Nearly all my belongings are back in here now. There are still a few things in the lounge, but they will have to wait until I've got these boxes sorted out. It's all quite chaotic.

What remains to be done in here is just some details, like hanging pictures and such. There is also a shelf I want put back up on the wall, which Husband offered to put up for me today. It depends on how far I can get with the chaos already in here. Again, I need to deal with the current chaos before there's room for adding more chaos. I also want to get a cork board and a new bin (blue plastic from the mid-90s is frankly no longer doing it for me in my room of grey and purple!) but I haven't been looking at those yet.

These cupboards have given me so much more storage space than I had before, and they are large enough that I can have the sewing machine, the iron and the big sewing box actually put away and not hanging around on any available surface or the floor. It also makes it seem like I have more free floor space, but I'm pretty certain that's an illusion.

There's a weird empty space in the lounge behind the sofa now, though.

No pictures yet, because so much chaos!

I've been looking for communities that want to center Latinx culture in their posting but haven't found any so I made one!

[community profile] latam is a new community for people to come together to talk about latinamerican music, films, food, culture, fandom, and more!

Everyone's welcome, no matter where you're posting from! And you can also post in your language (official languages of the community are Spanish, Portuguese and English!)

Come make friends! We have a friending meme going on right now :)

[personal profile] oceangrey posting in [site community profile] dw_community_promo
[community profile] warrington_runcorn_ntdp is a new fan-run community focused on the music of electronic project Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan.

Anyone is free to join, even those who have never listened before! Although if that is you, I'd recommend checking out the project's Soundcloud, Bandcamp, and Youtube to get acquainted :D

Discussion on the community will include, but is not limited to, avourite songs/albums/album artwork, physical media, how you discovered the music, recommendations for similar music, etc.

The current rules are pretty standard: no harassment/discrimination against any other Dreamwidth users; no NSFW/explicit content unless it's directly connected to the community's theme; and please keep any posts/comments on topic as much as possible. Anything else can be decided on in the future.

I ([personal profile] oceangrey) am the current only moderator/admin, but if anyone else wants a similar role just message me or comment on the community's pinned post!

[community profile] withnailandi is a community for everything related to Withnail & I (1987). Fanworks/recommendations, meta/discussions, whatever, all are welcome here! Another related community is [community profile] withnailandinsfw, for any more explicit fanworks/discussions.

Although not entirely new (made in October 2025) both communities are unused as of yet, due to most of the fandom being on other platforms. Feel free to join whether you're a casual fan, or if it's your favourite film of all time, or if you're somewhere in between!

[community profile] withnailandi is open for anyone to join, and [community profile] withnailandinsfw is set to administrator-approved due to the community's content.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

We bought the new furniture for my room yesterday. Husband will start assembling later today.

I am in a MASSIVE PANIC about whether it will fit, even though I've measured it several times and concluded that it will be a bit tight but should fit. But what if I measured wrong!

I have a really stupid Plan C if it turns out it won't fit.

Husband doesn't seem worried at all.

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

In January, Bookscorpion over on Pillowfort recommended an app for doing pilates exercises at home. I have today finished Day 43 of the beginner's program.

It continues to humble me. Today I learned I am incapable of 60 seconds of jumping jacks. A full minute is a surprisingly long time!

I'm sticking with it quite well, though. There have been some breaks here and there due to illness and travelling, but I've been doing it every day as much as possible. It's not difficult when it's only ten to fifteen minutes.

I'm going to keep adding days to the beginner's program for as long as possible. It's plenty difficult thank you very much. I don't feel at all ready for intermediate, and I am downright frightened of advanced!
