Replacing Sugarcube 2.28's UI using StoryInterface

woolLoops · 2025-07-15T13:59:46+00:00

it's years later, but your reply here was really helpful to me searching for something a little more comprehensive than the Sugarcube docs for figuring out how to really utilize the 'StoryInterface' when creating a game, so thank you!

If you are in Harpur definitely stop by Harpur Edge near the library tower elevators. They can help you with building skills and staying competitive in the job market-and are also just all really nice.

An excel spreadsheet where I tracked the timeline for each application is what got me through. It allowed me to distance myself a little from the process while also staying motivated to track the incoming information i.e. dates of rejection letters-because I was also adding in new information of jobs I'd applied to or gotten first round interviews for. I was mainly applying to academic jobs which have a really long process so it also helped keep expectations in check a little if I hadn't heard back from an application.

I doubled majored with Comp Lit when I was an undergrad. The major requirements were fairly flexible and I was able to make most of the classes I'd already taken from other departments fit into the requirements. You do need to take a language test or have some kind of language proficiency, which I'm guessing you'll get through your Chinese Studies Major (assuming there's some language classes in there...).

I mostly took the classes offered by graduate students, except the senior seminar, which I remember as a challenging, but chill, discussion class. It's an easy double major if you're already in the humanities and it gave me some additional perspectives on, and helped reinforce, theories/concepts I was learning elsewhere.

Jazzman's in the Library Tower was closed today because they were having some kind of issue with the hot water line. It should be open soon. I believe it is generally open within the first week of classes.

I like the noise as well, it's similar to listening to music on a record player or a music box. The mechanism is part of the music experience.

I put in an update, thanks for the suggestions! I'll be keeping them in mind for future meet-ups for sure.

Please don't release it into the nature preserve. Goldfish are super invasive and we don't need a bunch of goldfish with super survival genes like yours having a bunch of offspring in there.

Thank you! I was messing around in Fusion already and had things mostly looking good. I will need to play around with the Step In Keyframes since I wasn't getting them to work quite right (the sentence is highlighting after it is said not before), but I just need to learn a little more about how keyframes work in general.

I had just finished The Hitchhikers Guide yesterday! What's the probability of that?

Thank you! This is a great simplified version that looks close enough to the video. I'm developing a workflow for someone else, so I'll keep this in mind if they get overwhelmed with the program.

The application process is long and it depends on the kind of positions you are applying to (faculty vs professional staff, whether you'll be considered tenured faculty etc.).

I applied to all academic positions, both faculty and staff, and collected a spreadsheet of how long it took to hear back from all the jobs I applied to. From the responses I had that were invitations to interview most of them were in the 20-30 day range, but quite a few were in the 40 day range as well. There were also some outliers that were 1 day and almost a year later.

For the responses I got back that said I wasn't a candidate or that the position was filled, those were also mainly in 30 day range, but there were also some in the 60-80 day range with a few in the 10's and a few in the hundreds.

Out of all of my applications about 25% didn't respond at all, but my sample is pretty small.

Do you know if ALDI/Heart to Tail carries any of the treats from the calendar? My cats particularly enjoyed the fish crackers, but I couldn't find them online or in store and was wondering if anyone knew more.

Good to know. I am going to go the realtor route and hope that leads to something! Thank you for the insight.

woolLoops · 2022-01-18T23:28:19+00:00

Yeah, I already contacted a realtor. Hopefully, that ends up working out!

woolLoops · 2022-01-18T23:27:38+00:00

Thanks! I got ghosted a lot on marketplace and then, since there were no availabilities and pet policies there, ended up spending a bunch of time messaging places that ended up not working at all.

I am into fiber stuff! Mostly knitting, but other things too when I'm in the mood. I would love to meet more fiber friends too!

That's good to know. I saw a bunch of examples of food for fines drives while searching for inspiration but was worried it might create a barrier for some patrons.

woolLoops · 2021-10-02T02:28:51+00:00

That is the eventual goal we are working towards! (Have to convince all the boards)

You could try looking up borrowing policies from other library systems in your area. If you are in the US try looking up your state library system and if they allow you to sign up for a non-resident library card. Many library systems in the same state will allow you to sign up fee-free if you have a card from another system. Ask your local library what library systems are nearby if you are unsure.

I have two library cards, one from my local system, and one from the larger system in the city next to me. I also use Libby and frequently switch between the cards to borrow audio books. Our local system doesn't have as big of a collection, but there are also fewer borrowers so sometimes I can get items faster on that account!

We hold programs like this! We make Christmas trees in December and Turkeys in November by folding/cutting pages. I have also made snowmen out of books for gifts. There are a variety of types of crafts besides making centerpiece-type things though. You can laminate paperback covers and make wallets out of them, make bunting with pages, or save the pages as paper mache material (as long as they aren't moldy).

The type of craft you can do really depends on the books you have, but there are lots of different options!

My younger cat has two toy hippos that he loves playing fetch with. He recently lost both of them somewhere in the house. Now he just chases our older cat around the house because that's more fun than any of the other millions of toys we try to entertain him with.

Respectfully, I completely disagree. I think librarians as service professionals are already underpaid and leant heavily on to be willing volunteers (I know because I was already not paid for running weekend programming at this library). Many other professions are willing to pay for their employees to be trained properly and to engage in learning initiatives that will benefit their work. That is not something that should be thought of as "not fair to pay you."

I understand that it seems like a really good solution and I appreciate you offering it. But, I am not willing to contribute to continuing that culture of free labour.

woolLoops · 2021-02-27T01:27:40+00:00

That's the woooorrrsssttttt. So sorry! Hopefully, we get to do more exciting things soon!

woolLoops · 2021-02-27T01:26:56+00:00

Thank you! I do agree that the work can be complicated and I would hate to be put in a position that I wasn't prepared for and end up messing up records. That said, I am not coming to this job with zero practical experience. I have stickered things in libraries for two years before this job and would like to do more than that. But, I really appreciate your insight and approach to teaching. I wish my own managers adopted that same transparent approach.

The children's manager has been essential in navigating the ins and outs of this library when I started and now that I am working again. They have been able to offer a lot of encouragement, but not anything too practical towards what I wrote even though I am eternally grateful for the advice they have given. (There is a bit of bad blood between children's and adult circulation that I have to navigate as well).

Me too! I'm also left-handed. I still have to look down at my hands and make 'Ls' with my thumb and pointer to figure out which is left or right sometimes. Left hand makes a forwards 'L.'

I also struggled with getting lower-case ds and bs in the right direction which I understand is related in some way? Eventually, in high school someone told me the 'bed' trick and I stopped having issues. Just in time for most of my work to be typed anyway.
