    Bronycon was great!

    Last year's was, that is. I didn't go this year. Next year I probably will though.

    This post brought to you by me noticing I hadn't made a blog post since Extended Bronycon Vacation. I did not go on a year long vacation, as disappointing as that is to report.

    Extended Bronycon Vacation

    Just in case anyone is wondering enough about where my comments are to come looking, I'm on vacation visiting family in the NYC area before Bronycon next weekend. It's kind of unfriendly to sit and read and comment on stuff instead of interacting with the people you flew across the country to visit, so I'll have a limited site presence at best for the next week or so.

    Another Half Marathon Down

    This time it was the OKC Memorial Marathon. Last year I did the full and the year before that the 5k, so it only made sense to do the half this year to complete the set, especially since I hadn't even remotely trained up enough this spring to be ready for the full.

    As in previous races, I text-to-speeched some pony fic chapters, this time the following:

    Some More Art

    This is a bit of a follow up to Another December Sunday Morning in Dallas. I was highly amused by the official race shirt, and when I managed to snag a commission slot from Sophie I knew what it had to be.

How to financially support Fimfiction and block site ads in 4 easy steps · 10:49pm Jul 30th, 2015

1. Sign up for Google Contributor (sorry, it is probably US-only at this time).

2. Set your monthly contribution.

3. Change your settings to only support specific websites and add fimfiction.net:

4. Profit! (well, for Knighty to keep the site running.)

I’ve had this running for a couple days now, and so far (in spite of my selection above) I’ve been seeing just the following in place of every normal location on the site:

This is all mobile, though, you may get the actual cats if you are looking from a desktop.

According to the stats so far for about a day of use 156 ads have been removed and I’ve contributed ten cents to Fimfiction. I’m pretty sure the actual effect of this is that I am buying ad-less ads which are served up just to me on just the sites I choose. It’s kind of roundabout to get to the state pictured above, but it seems to work out very reliably if you select just a few websites to support.

You know I have adblock, but I only use it for youtube. I disabled it for this site, at least I'm sure I did. I don't mind ads on sites, though, I do wish the one for this site would not be between the character tags and the chapter links, it makes things not look as tidy.
