Sigh. I got the results from the cat scan yesterday. My right lung has a membrane that's normally the thickness of plastic wrap. It's current 1cm to 2cm thick. That's the tumor. I’ll be setting up a gofundme to help with my medical bills

They still can’t find the source of my cancer. I’ll be undergoing numerous tests in the coming days. It was confirmed it has metastasized, so that’s depressing.

I’m finally in my home office. While I’m still making Becky Juice and coughing up a lung, being able to sit at my desk allows me to reclaim my “normal” #cancer

My new normal, always fatigued, sweating, in pain if I move, and no appetite. This sucks.

They drained my lung cavity of 20ml Becky Juice today, and it seems I’m no longer leaking large amounts of fluid. This is progress. I was leaking 150ml a day, now it’s a trickle.

I can’t handle any more loss. My favorite cat, Rascal, started convulsing and died in my lap. He loved eating fresh roasted chicken and the patties from my hamburgers.

The constant pain is driving me crazy. It feels like my lungs are being crushed in a vice.

It’s adenocarcinoma stage 3. I’m coping right now. Treatments will start soon. Send all the healing energy, vibes, and cat purrs you can spare my way.

Well, it’s cancer. But not liver cancer. They suspect colon cancer that spread to the liver, but more tests are coming down the line

They found something in the liver biopsy. They are staining samples to confirm their suspicions. I hope to know by tomorrow

Shoot! I’m back in the Emergency Room again. Seems I filled up with fluid under my right lung. No where as bad as before, but enough for my doctor to send me to ER for drainage.

My cat of 20 years, Amaya, passed away at the foot of my bed last night. She stood by my side through many ups and downs in my life. I will miss her

TL;DR. I have two masses on my liver. One 5.3cm and the other 1.7cm in diameter. I had 2300ml of fluid in my abdomen that kept me from breathing (drained out now) and there are tiny nodules in my right lung. Test results next Monday, then my doctors and I declare war.

Into the Abyss… BurgerTime at 8pm CST on twitch

Hilarious! My nurse was having to use an AI assistant to call other departments. The AI kept getting it so wrong, I thought I was watching a Family Guy skit. I wonder how much work time is lost fighting AI assistants. Nurse: “Call radiology” AI:“Calling pediatrics”

Oh I nearly forgot! I had an incredibly lucky encounter with the amazing @burgerbecky.bsky.social at PAX West!!!! I’m such a huge fan of her work and I couldn’t be happier at how kind she was in letting me get a picture together

Can we have your liver? Oh, it’s got some ickiness to it. You can keep it.

I hope I have the time to finish all the things I want to do with my life. Sadly, I was given news today that is making me worried that time is not on my side.

What items should I add to my bucket list? The list of things to do before I kick the bucket.

Woke up in Heath Texas, completely covered in cats. This is fine.

Another PAX West is behind me. I’m sad to have to leave Seattle to go home. Jennell and I used to live in Seattle and we missed this city. Until next time!

Try Gorgon brand Marijuana. They guarantee that you’ll get stoned or your money back!

Are ferries crewed by Fairys?

Woke up in Seattle, Washington. How did that happen?

In the beginning, there was the Word. And bird was the Word.

I’m heading to PAX Prime! Anyone in Seattle want to meet up while I’m in town?

I had an hour long call with GLAAD, let’s see if it bears fruit.

Why is it that I find whatever my cat typed in by walking over my keyboard far more readable than C++23 code?

Soon it will be: Year Unknown. Coming soon from MacPlay!

Sadly, I know a friend who is dealing with mental illness and is running to ChatGPT which is making her issues worse. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Is chalkboard chalk delicious and a good source of calcium?

Today, I’m taking a “Me” day. I’m going to stay in bed, watch Netflix, and cover myself in cats.

I’ve learned once again that you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.

Final day of @QuakeCon It was great hanging out with old friends and made a few new ones.

It appears that Comic Control, the software I use for the webcomic Sailor Ranko, doesn’t play nice with PHP8.3. I am looking into solutions for the problem

Quakecon, here I come!

I watched the new War of the Worlds movie on Amazon Prime Video. My IQ dropped 5 points

It’s going to get Weird!!

Today, my son and his girlfriend are flying in today and tomorrow we're all going to a Weird al concert!

Today's "Well, that happened": I've been getting approached by "The Human Gathering" and other similar organizations where CEOs pat each other on the back for owning businesses. Sorry, I'm not a narcissist, and I'm not PAYING to get meaningless self-congratulating awards.

I’ve found Sanctuary! #logansrun

Welcome to the world, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg

Read the Codenomicon! What have you got to lose? You can either go mad with revelation, or be on your knees, begging to go back to the Apple ][.

I have so many cats. I use Litter Robots named “Poop Deck”, “R2-P2”, “Dump Tower”, and “Same ‘ol Shit”

I’m marked safe from Superman spoilers.

I'll be in New York City on October 10th, at the GLAAD 40th anniversary event. Is there anyone in the New York area that I should invite as my +1?

I'm having a background check done on me, and once again, they can't believe I'm a "Distinguished Engineer" while being a high school dropout.

DirectPlay: The Definitive Edition, is now on github. Samples, headers, and libraries are all in one place. github.com/Olde-Skuul/d...

Finally, the master @macplay.com spreadsheet is done. Now I can contact all the companies that MacPlay has licensed title from to make sure all games run on modern macs

I know you’re all counting on me. But would you stop poking my fingers and toes while you’re counting.
