Good morning, world. TGIF. It’s a morning – not too bright, not too cloudy. The cats are doing cat things; I’m not 100% certain, but my vibes tell me they’re on the table by the backdoor. Podrick came in and woke me up for morning loves when it was still dark. I let him molest my palm for a few minutes, cuddled him, and fell asleep again. He got into something later, and was put in the hallway.
Podrick is at the age now where he’s exactly like my little sister when she was about 7: a complete and utter shit. He’s stronger than Pippin, and he outweighs her by a couple of pounds, so he’s an absolute bully to her. Yesterday, I heard a loud thud, but couldn’t determine the source of the noise. A few minutes later, we heard a scrabbling sound, and Shawshank discovered Podrick standing on top of the back door. I assume the loud thud was either a failed prior attempt, or just him jumping down from his lofty perch.
Sometime after Shawshank pulled Pod down, we heard more scrambling noises. Shawshank got off the couch to investigate and found someone had knocked the windsock off its hook on the door and onto the floor. Podrick, seeing a tunnel, threw himself into it.
Because it’s a tunnel, and all tunnels must be explored.
A couple of days ago, I received a DM from the developer of a browser extension I use to help analyse and manage my Fansly account. I love the extension, and even though it’s only a couple of months old, I hype it up whenever I can on Reddit. Even the free version has loads of features available. The dev noticed that in one post, I’d mentioned I didn’t use the paid version, and offered me three months free.
One of the paid features is an ability to schedule multiple posts with one click, and I was eager to give it a try. After Shawshank left for work in the afternoon, I set about scheduling the spank bank’s daily photo drops. For my first use, I tested it by scheduling FYP content. It works perfectly: I can select content from either the vault or my files, add a caption and/or hashtags, select a starting point, how long to wait between posts, and let it do its thing.
Literally, the only thing that I wish it could do is set minimum content permissions for the batch. It’s fabulous for scheduling FYP things, because those aren’t locked. Since everything that I posted to the FYP was using (mostly) the same hashtags1, I scheduled everything at once, then added captions from the scheduled post queue.
However, I did use it to schedule subscriber content as well.
Knowing everything would be posted unlocked, I made sure the first post was scheduled for two hours in the future, and simply modified the media permissions. By the time the plugin finished uploading and scheduling 60 pics, I had gone through the queue behind and locked things up. Even with having to modify everything after the fact, I still managed to schedule daily pics until mid-November in less time than it would have taken me to schedule two weeks.
- oh, hey, those are easy to deal with too even without the batch scheduler, because even the free version of the plugin lets me save text presets. It’s like the RSTLN+E of hashtags. ↩︎
