so drawtober is apparently quitting...

...this is their last year?  I'm not doing challenges where people quit hosting them. I cannot stand quitting. If I commit to something, I commit forever . But if that something quits on me , it's done. It's over. It's why I've not checked my old writing group's discord for months. Because they quit on me.  Guess I'm just going to stick with the Loish challenge instead. 

PYTHON THE HARD WAY EXERCISE 17 ONELINER VERSION

open ( __import__ ( 'sys' ).argv[ 2 ], 'w' ).write( open ( __import__ ( 'sys' ).argv[ 1 ]).read()) OH YEAH "I'm awesome, and I [love] dolphins" - Tyler the Creator

Holy crap

Hmm...moving music again

I tried moving music to post-work for 30 minutes for a few weeks because I don't have a lunch break now due to being hourly, unless I want to work later, which I don't.  It didn't work. It was killing WAC (Writing, Art, Code) by making them too short. It does, however, work well as a backup, and a goal for in office days.  But each instrument only takes 15 minutes, so I could move them into two breaks with modified Pomodoro instead. This might suck though. Even so, only getting 30-40 minutes of each WAC practice was killing me. 

possible new hyperfixation: the indie web?

never heard of all these tiny websites that look like they're straight out of 2010 deviantart and everyone is both a coder and an artist, until yesterday... no vibe coding in sight.  i think i'm going to base my portfolio site revamp loosely off of this. it'll be less of a portfolio and more of a homepage that happens to be portfolio-adjacent. let's be real, who cares about impressing some lame recruiters? the work should speak for itself.  i'm still going to use actual web tech though, i don't want to be so minimalist like i'm a feralfront user in 2012 customizing profiles with copy/pasted javascript to make a grumpy cat mouse  i mean i do , but i also want to use my degree :p

yet another way to frame my pursuits

1. The "Grand Quint" for games and film: Writing/Worlds, Art, Coding, IT, and Music 2. TPED: Theme Park Engineering and Design  3. Working out: Running, Lifting, and [whatever you are supposed to call "yoga, prehab, vibration plate, and balance board stuff"] ...maybe Motor? Ew. 

we are so back

  Refreshed myself on how to do the abc export from Unity to Houdini.  Now need to re-import.  But before I can really consider this done, I want to review the math. In depth.  It's also time to contribute to some OSS. Moonray, for one. It will take a lot of work and it will be worth it.  btw state fair still slaps but no single riders allowed on Mach 1 (their Speed replacement)
