I usually file these end-of-the-week posts under "Websites" since, well... they're mostly about my site updates. But this week, I’m getting a bit personal, so I’m putting this one under "Random." This one will be short and sweet, so let’s get started...
Let's start with Wisedocks. I spent a lot of time this week refining the AI Images and Wallpaper sections. I realized I wasn’t handling categories well in the AI images section, so when I built the Wallpaper section, I made sure to structure it properly. I then moved that updated code to the AI Art section. Now, categories work more like tags, which should help once the gallery expands. This setup will also make it easier when I finally implement a search feature.
Speaking of which, I’m going to start referring to AI images as “AI Art” since I consider it a form of art. I know there’s room for debate on that, but that’s just my perspective.
While I did fix several bugs in the code, most were on the backend. My time was primarily spent writing a few articles for Stellar History, and I finally finished "Lost In Arkansas." I originally planned for 10 chapters but decided to wrap it up with 8 since I was starting to lose interest in the story.
I spent quite a bit of time adding AI art as well. Be sure to check out the gallery. They actually make great wallpapers for phones and I may even label them as such later. Here is one of my favorites.
Now, on a more personal note. My wife and I separated about 8 years ago. She left me for another man, and they’ve been together ever since.
This week, my daughter texted me to say he passed away. He was only in his early 40s—way too young. I feel really bad for my ex-wife, but I’m unsure if I should reach out to let her know she’s been in my thoughts.
Here’s why I’m conflicted: My adult autistic son still lives with her, and he’s mentioned multiple times that my name comes up in their household—and not in a positive way. That’s why I’m hesitant to express my condolences. Should I reach out, or would it be better to keep my distance? I’ve never been good at reading people, so I’m unsure whether she’d welcome my message or if it would just upset her more. I've chosen to keep my distance.
If she happens to be a creepy stalker and reads my blog, then I just want to say: I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re in my thoughts.
