#email appending

[lovelylotusf1]

Had to write a single (1!!) very important email and I feel as if I've stress aged five years. Kudos to all you people whose job it is to write emails all day, you truly are the bravest out of all of us.

i always remember this commission with the new year because four years ago i drove myself to the ER, got diagnosed with appendicitis, and shot off an email to this client like an hour before surgery apologizing that there was going to be a delay with their finish.

[shamebats]

Over the years in my various capacities as an advice columnist and trans person who knows other trans people I’ve had repeat encounters with a family dynamic I call “Just To Be Safe, Let’s Transition By Committee.” [...] Say a transitioner comes out and announces their intention to start going by “Kat.” Rather than respond with, “No, I reject this, you must not transition,” which has no corresponding countermove, a relative (usually but not always a parent) suddenly becomes deeply invested in the long-standing family tradition of passing down the same name with Jr, III, and so on appended to it. [...] You thought you’d done the full rounds of your Top Surgery Apology Tour when you get an email saying your great-aunt’s sister has some feelings about it, and that starts the whole process over again. Much like a new assistant attempting to deliver a birthday card to a departmental colleague in a large company, there is always a surprise new person whose signature is required before proceeding. [...] Relatives who never previously evinced the barest awareness of your gender are suddenly saying shit like “I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become” and “To A VERY Special Nephew” and “But your breasts are such an integral part of what it means to be cousins, I’ve always thought.”

that reaction image you made recently (something of a lesbian myself) made my day :) Thank you so much. I'm so sorry about Lyudmila. There isn't an image in the world that could improve a day like that. However, I have drawn a picture of her in a Russian sniper hat, which I offer to you with my sincere condolences.

(not sure how best to send it, would a deviant art link, Tumblr link or something else do best? also quite understand if it's not something you'd like right now, hence not already appending any link or image)

I... that's just... please. I'd love to see it. If you want to post it on this thread, or email it to spider at nerdykeppie.com... yes, thank you.

Sorry I'm not coherent, I have only slept about an hour.

[fionaostby]

Appending these to all emails from now on thanks. It’s an award because I was brave to send emails

[3liza]

I've noticed that customer support agents who respond to bug emails have continued wasting their first reply on asking what version you're using and telling you to update your app even though all bug report emails I've sent from my phone recently have the version number in the subject line by default, like it's just appended to the subject line by the report form automatically.

The heavenly yard blog infomine, part 8: The Servant of Evil Manga, Impersonations (oh my!), Evils Kingdom, Judgment of Corruption, teaser for Wiegenlied of Green

mothy is still regularly going to conventions and selling CDs, of course. Evils Kingdom takes up a huge chunk of this, he spends a lot of time talking about order bonuses and the added story content coming packaged with it (it's his most ambitious album at this point in time and he's clearly proud of it).

1 September 2010 ~ 28 January 2011

---September 2010---

1st

Page 1

-mothy shares an article announcing the (non-canon) Servant of Evil manga by Nekoyama Miyao. He's exchanged emails with this person and was impressed at how seriously they took the story, including going to France for research on the setting. He makes clear that this will be a different story from both the stage and the novel versions, but he's looking forward to it.

-The magazine publishing this manga will also include a CD with his music and commentary in it.

Page 2

-He releases Madame Merry-Go-Round to Niconico Douga. Incidentally, this song is planned to be included in the collab CD "ECHO~Charity Days~" (which he ignored the concept of when making lol).

24th

-mothy announces Vocaloanthems having reached 5th place in the Oricon weekly ranking.

-he also shares a fan PV made for Evil Food Eater Conchita made by TsuburayaP (unfortunately NicoNico is down for maintenance at the moment I guess, so I can't see which PV it is, I'm guessing something in MikuMikuDance).

---October 2010--- 1st

-Cloture of Yellow has sold over 50000 copies!

3rd

-the piapro Developer Blog used "Servant of Evil" to make a sample for Len Append Power (Beta version). The link to the sample no longer works, unfortunately. Mothy thinks it's good.

14th

-mothy announces the Evils Kingdom album (with details to come later).

23rd

-mothy shares a link to the teaser website for Evils Kingdom (which is sadly no longer functional). It's his first major album so he has a promo video and everything. There's also a little bit of purchase information.

28th

-mothy shares the PV for "Evil Food Eater Conchita (revised)" which contains some blurbs detailing her history with a little bit of detail (stuff that eventually makes it into the novel).

29th

-apparently some people have been taking on songwriting requests on his behalf, claiming to know him (or other songwriters). Apparently they have been doing this requesting that the commission fee goes to charity and that the songwriter's name isn't revealed?

-Anyway so mothy clarifies that he does not take commissions through a representative. He will always handle doujin-requests himself, in the cases of official corporate work he'll work directly with a representative himself, and in general he will always personally get in touch with whoever he's making a song for, even if he was introduced to them through a 3rd party beforehand. He will also have all of his communications go through his personal email or other social media accounts. Any other addresses is someone impersonating him.

---November 2010---

1st

-the ECHO Charity Days CD is now open for preorders. Proceeds for the CD go to the Japan Red Cross Tokyo Chapter

5th

-mothy announces some pre-order bonuses for Evils Kingdom (looks like playing cards with the character art on them?) depending on the retailer you buy them from.

12th

26th

-mothy is participating in Ikemen Voice Paradise 2, with Servant of Evil.

---December 2010---

3rd

-The official full website for Evils Kingdom is up, containing sample clips and character profiles. He mentions how the CD booklet will contain a bit more info on the setting and story as well.

-He'd like to get the new songs uploaded to NicoNico with PVs soon before the CD comes out, but everyone including himself is very busy so he's not sure he'll be able to.

16th

Also comes with a cellphone charm.

---January 2011---

7th

-mothy summarizes the events of last year, and shares his thoughts on the songs that he uploaded over the year. I'll give highlights of this.

-Daughter of White is his longest song to date. The concepts and story beats in it are things he came up with while making Daughter of Evil, but didn't get to work into the song before. Originally he'd intended to make it from Michaela's POV, but switched to Clarith's midway through.

-Full Moon Laboratory was made to feel sort of like a sequel to Wordplay that went a different route from Clockwork Lullaby (as in--Clockwork Lullaby is a "sequel" to Wordplay, and FML is sort of an alternative "sequel"). He liked it but it wasn't very popular.

-He says that for Last Revolver he really likes the setting of a love affair with an assassin, and that it's not part of the Seven Deadly Sins series.

-Desert Bluebird, like Screws Gears and Pride, has the feeling of a canceled Shounen series.

-Lunacy of Duke Venomania--he'd experimented a little with the beat and rhythm of it. He also thinks the ending might have been a bit lackluster? (wanted it to feel more hopeless? Not sure I'm 100% understanding here)

-Twiright Prank is not the kind of song he's good at making, but it turned out alright.

-Madame Merry-Go-Round--just like Conchita, this is the kind of song that he has fun making, even if his enthusiasm meant completely ignoring the theme of the CD that it's on.

-Flames of Yellow Phosphorous--JounetsuP wrote the music, mothy wrote the lyrics. He thinks they might be a little too dark. This is an inversion of Red Shoe Parade, where mothy wrote the lyrics first and JounetsuP added the music second, which was a novel experience.

-Frog's and My Love Romance is a little bit like "The Frog Prince".

-Master of the Graveyard is his favorite song from 2010

14th

-mothy shares his plans and booth details for Vocaloid Master 15. He'll be selling the ~court of greed~ album, among other things.

20th

-The event is over and it went well. Apparently there was an incident where mothy ran out of change though so some people had to wait to buy the album. Online sales will be available soon.

-He responds to a fan about something, I think something relating to their Evils Kingdom purchase (he mentions he'll be contacting a vendor personally so I think there might have been a problem with their order).

26th

-mothy finally unveils Wiegenlied of Green, which is now available for preorder.

-He suggests people read up on the vessels of sin through the Evils Kingdom booklet as they'll play a role in the novel.

28th

-mothy shares some of the early purchase bonuses for Wiegenlied of Green.

Weird low-stakes drama at work today.

So I'm at the retail job, keeping an eye on the fitting room and jewellry because (1) morning fitting room called out, (2) afternoon fitting room is on bereavement leave and I appended her shift to the end of mine, and (3) I was originally scheduled for jewellry, when this lady comes up to me. She's been dubbed Hair Lady for reasons that will become obvious.

Hair Lady: Hi! Are you satisfied with where you get your hair cut? Me: *usually either cuts their own hair or asks a DSP to do it* Me: *is at work, which has a no soliciting policy, so my brain is not primed to deal with this kind of situation* Me: ...uhhh...? Hair Lady: *begins a sales pitch about her hair salon* Me: *RUNTIME ERROR: work social script interrupted* Me: *BACKUP PROTOCOL ACTIVATED: autistic bluntness* Me: -I'm working. Hair Lady: Oh! That's okay. *continues her pitch, leaves me with a business card and coupon, moves on to harass the customers*

At about this point my brain catches up and I radio the boss-on-duty to let her know, since kicking people out is Above My Pay Grade. Boss-on-duty politely tells Hair Lady she can stay and shop if she wants but to stop pitching her salon to our staff and customers, since like most places we do have a no soliciting policy. Hair Lady apparently takes this with grace and leaves.

A couple of hours later, Hair Lady calls back, and from what I hear she was pissed at getting politely not quite kicked out, raging that We Didn't Have A Sign Up. Apparently ours fell or something? But, like. Say what you will about the world we live in, but it's not exactly Advanced Economic Theory that stores don't want you advertising within them if they're not getting a cut.

And I may have trouble with social skills sometimes, but even I know that physically handing out coupons to people either working or shopping is, uh. Let's say frowned upon in 2023 America. Physically handing out things for the actual store you're in puts you on thin ice, let alone unrelated ones.

Anyway, Hair Lady actually got the same person who told her to stop on the phone, too, who informed her this is a corporate policy and offered the store manager, but Hair Lady asked for the district manager's number. Since we don't give that out, boss-on-duty had to email the district manager about The Incident, mentioning everyone who came in contact with Hair Lady.

From what I understand, this includes the poor sap Hair Lady initially talked to in order to ask if we had a no soliciting policy. Apparently she said she'd ask the boss but I gather Hair Lady just took that for a 'go ahead' and barged through before anyone could get their bearings. Then it was me, then it was one of the floorwalkers who was just a hair more diplomatic than me and so got harassed for longer, and finally the boss-on-duty.

I don't expect anything dire will come of it, particularly not for me, but it was, uh. Odd. I'm really curious to know Hair Lady's thought process here.

Work blows…always asking questions like “did you read the thirteen emails I sent you this morning?” and “why are you googling ‘how to give yourself appendicitis’ on your work laptop?”

How to help Jimin this week

This is for US/PR ARMYs. International puppykitties, please keep going with whatever you know works in your countries. Fighting!

So last week, you might have bought Jimin's two physical albums and/or digital versions at Target, Amazon, iTunes, and WeVerse. And when the alternative covers for the digital album dropped on the BTS US store, maybe you got those too. If you didn't? Please do that by this Wednesday night at the latest.

So what happens this week, to avoid free fall?

Welp, you can buy the digital album on Qobuz using your Facebook login if you want, it's very easy. You can go pick up the 4 physical single CDs from the BTS US Store, if you wanna do that.

You definitely should make use of Jimin Funds, which will help you use PayPal, or you can go buy your own gift cards (pre-paid VISA or iTunes gift cards), and then you make new emails and just pick up the 5 digital versions of Like Crazy, which cost a whopping $3.70 all told. You can do this on iTunes and the BTS US store!

You should sign up for free trial premium streaming if you haven't already with Apple, Amazon, Spotify, and YouTube--and then a JRJ-OT7 Face-focused playlist should be playing on your computers, tablets, phones, and smart TVs 24/7 this week. On Spotify, you swamp accounts after 20 plays and on YouTube you swap accounts after 50 plays. Remember you can buy a song for 69 cents or you can play a song 150 times on a premium account.

And you need to tweet or call your local radio stations and politely ask for them to play Like Crazy English Version every morning and every evening.

Finally, please turn on notification for VoteforPJM and follow their instructions. You'll want to watch videos every day on the idol apps (Mubeat, FanStar, IdolChamp, etc.) so you can gather up free tickets to vote for Jimin to win awards. TMI? I literally do this when I go to the bathroom. I'm a captive audience anyway and it only takes a few minutes.

Listen...

I know you're tired. I know it's been a hell of a week. I know we have other members we will need to support soon. But from now until April 21, we fight and fight hard.

When you get tired, remember that Jimin used to diet until he passed out. Jimin used to work in the studio until 4am and then go to school at 6:30am and get straight A's. Jimin used to go on world tours while also getting his BA and MA and being a UN ambassador. Despite COVID and appendicitis and mail tampering and apartment seizure and death threats, Jimin worked hard on concerts and his album and Expo duties--even falling asleep in the studio most nights. For 10 long months, Jimin quietly took his pain and his loneliness and he turned it into art. He coded and he hid a love track... and he paid to do music shows and did fan calls... all for fans because he had something to share with us... and those of us who love him clearly see what he meant us to.

He did all this, and he made history. And the first thing he did was come live to credit BTS and ARMY.

Of course ARMY will have his back now, right?

[kremlin]

you know, i don't do the super longform posts like i used to, i mean to say, i don't post them anymore, but i still do write looooong ass walls of text, they don't ever make it to my blog. idk. on re-read they all have a very distinctive, unmistakable smell of "bus stop crazy" to them, and even after fixing all the grammar mistakes & forgotten words & etc they graduate from nutcase scribblings to "manifesto"

all those posts go to pastebin, anonymously, and then on to reddit, which is a huge pain, i have to farm throwaway accounts for like a year, not posting at all, before i can post a pastebin link and not have it be spam filtered, just to gauge how accurate my self-assessment is. it doesn't work because nobody reads it, unlike this blog, where 5-6 people read it.

and even that isn't working due to a wild phenomenon. when you write about niche subjects unappetizing to a normal audience, it only really makes its way to the same freaks that you're already friends with. in my case, these are people i've spoken with at great length solely textually over the internet, for like, twenty fuckin years. it probably wouldn't surprise you to know that they can clock something i've written like eight sentences in. and this sucks, it defeats the purpose of trying to hide my Shame Posts from the world with anonymity, so let me tell you what i did.

i tried just, you know, making a conscious effort to write in the most unkremlin way possible, and the result was indifferentiable than something i wrote normally. like, didn't even fool them any longer than otherwise. sure. fine. i guess that isn't interesting. but i wasn't satisfied.

so i call in an owed favor to a buddy that has zero language skills, like, unless you are speaking to him and standing in front of him, every message, regardless of platform, will read like a business email, signature and all. total dingus. he's like 26 & perpetually on welfare, (like all elite programmers) but writes like he's your dad sending email with that fancy corporate-branded-outlooko client that auto-appends some long ass disclaimer to all your email. anyways, that's besides the point, i gave him something i wrote & asked him to rewrite it in his own voice. no dice. "this sounds like something kremlin wrote but he's doing some kind of joke i don't understand, or maybe he got hit in the head". fuck. so i write a WHOLE new thing, not even solely focused on some niche subject that auto-reduces the potential culprits to like 5 people, and i give his ass the broad strokes of what i wrote and asked him to flesh it out. only a marginal improvement. they still nailed me after just a bit more thinking.

so fuck it. i hit up "Gunther" which i don't have the right keys on my keyboard to type properly, there's two dots over the U. gunther is very clearly a german guy, which you can tell on account of him speaking German, and when you speak to him in english, he's all "wast ist das" and shit. so i try giving HIM the broad strokes and having him re-create it, which was an idea/concept he did not grasp fully or understand on account of us not really sharing a language exactly. guess what. it wasn't immediately recognized, at least, it took about an hour for them to deduce i was the author, and at this point i have given up, i have lost because these increasingly cartoon antics have become my signature, and i will never be able to escape the shame of my Weird Bad Writing. they even figured out it was gunther sort-of-ghostwriting it, since it didn't have the quirks of software translation & was sent using some fucking ISO/IEC charset that europeans prefer over utf-8, at least the ones i talk to, for completely unknown reasons. they try and explain it, and i can't figure out what they're talking about, not because i don't speak french & german but because i don't speak ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ

i will never -- and this is a solemn promise -- write in any other way than to bang out the whole thing in 1 hour, never organizing anything, never looking backwards even 2-3 words, never *ever* proofreading (i get someone else to do it for me with explicit instructions to only fix grammar & highlight completely incomprehensible gibberish that they couldn't decipher for my reluctant fixing). i will also never stop posting it.

[ipsl0re]

Ok, so; there's a project that I've been rotating in my head: for a TTRPG setting (using the system DURF), consisting of a mass of loose dungeons, for players to freely run and explore- making it as simple as throwing a dart at a map.

That's a lot for one person. So why not get more involved?

If you're a mutual, and want to help come up with some histories, spells, places, weapons, traps, tools, monsters, people, ruins, cities- or just want to have a look- please drop me a message, and I'll send you the link, so you can jump right in and add/use whatever you want.

(There is also a supplemental discord channel, for anyone who wants in.)

As a heads up, I’m using the website Nuclino to run it- which needs an account. (All that means is name and email; but this is to let you know.)

I hope this 'sales pitch' of a kind is convincing. If it's not convincing enough to sign up and join in- here is a link to a google doc (which is not the software the project is using, just more easily accessible) containing the general worldbuilding details- to which you can append whatever you wannt below, if that's more comfortable.

Either way, I hope to see some of you there- and hope you enjoy!

(One more addendum: here is DURF.
