Cold, then hot. But mostly cold.

Winter is basically 4 months of feeling freezing all the time, except you go into a building and are sweltering because the heat is always cranked too high and you're wearing like 20 layers of clothing. So it's 75% freezing and 25% boiling.  In summer, you go from a nice outdoors temp to a nice level of AC indoors. 0% freezing, 100% comfortable. 

when you have a background check but you only recently graduated college, and moved around a LOT

now I have to try and remember the last 5 crappy apartments I lived in when I was in Provo lmao, plus the summers I went home and what exact dates those were plus I moved around within heritage halls and stuff...dude I cannot remember all of this also I could've sworn  I filled this form out already in August but apparently it never went through, so guess who gets to do it again

trying to finish this piece of code before sunset so I can take a walk, and -- -___-

"I can't get MathNet.Numerics working in Unity." "Oh that sucks. Have you tried using MathNet.Numerics?"  Seriously, this is irritating; I already wrote my math tests in pure C# for verification and porting them over to C# shouldn't take more than a few hours...but apparently Unity doesn't like MathNet at all. And I used a LOT of MathNet. I do not want to rewrite them in MathF.  Still better than looking up Houdini issues though. 

Drawabox 250 box challenge: gaining further insights

In lieu of my drawing warm-ups today, since I'm short on time and need to code, I'm doing some quick research on how to get the most bang for my buck in the Drawabox 250 Box Challenge .  I'm only about 35 boxes in, and I'm on the struggle bus. Recently, I have had a few questions about it.  What exactly is the full purpose  of drawing the colored lines on each finished page of boxes?  What is the benefit of avoiding any sort of parallel lines on my boxes, and moreover, how exactly do I even do that without completely distorting my boxes?  So I reread the article and did some speculating and thinking.  What I gathered: the goal of the colored line extensions is to have them eventually all meet at the same point . No crossing over each other, or spiraling out into weird directions. Even if you don't have enough room on your paper to measure this, it's what would happen if you  theoretically had unlimited paper . So you basically just have to visuali...

Algorithmic approach to coding and debugging.

1. Summarize our goal in one sentence. 2. Outline the high-level process of coding/debugging our particular issue. 3. Gather all necessary background information. 4. Do a more in-depth outline, step-by-step. 5. Outline the exact details of the algorithm. 6. Use TDD to fix the issue.
