Woke up around 0800 this morning to discover it was dark and raining, decided to fall back asleep again for an hour or so only to wake up almost six hours later, around 1400. I have no idea what happened, but it completely threw me off for the rest of the day… I just fucked around with my websites a bit, performing optimisations and the like. One of the more immediately obvious changes was that I switched over the fonts on both the main site, and this Tumblr blog: the former to a more generic monospace (Inconsolata did not end up making that much of a difference in feeling, there’s no need to call an entire font library for such a marginal difference), and the latter to a much more legible Arial/sans-serif. In the back-end, I condensed all the CSS calls for the former to a single shared master stylesheet (the rest is handled with inline calls), which saves a handful of kilobytes; and for the latter, I substantially cleaned up the HTML theme file by getting rid of a lot of unnecessary features I’ll never use. 

While I didn’t necessarily waste the day per se on completely unproductive activities, I still feel a bit frustrated that I couldn’t get much of anything done on the game as well. I know it’s not healthy to think this way probably, but there’s also no avoiding the fact that is the exact kind of thing that’s stifled my progress so significantly all this time. I really don’t know how to address it beyond the ways I’m already doing so. I hope I’m able to work again tomorrow.
