What did you do today?

[Windfall]

So you're on the same plane as me

But then you could argue that:

Spoiler: WARNING: SEVERE LISTING INCOMING

• Math is simply applied logic
• Logic is simply applied philosophy
• Philosophy is simply applied intense thought
• Intense thought is simply applied active brain usage
• Active rain usage is simply application of being bored
• Being bored is an application of having nothing to do
• Having nothing to do comes from settling down in towns (and also sociology so get rekted)
• Settling down in towns comes from making tools
• Making tools comes from humans banging rocks together
• Humans banging rocks together comes from chance
• Chance comes from (to an extent) entropy and genetics
• Entropy comes from the universe! (see below)
• Genetics comes from animals
• Animals come from bacteria
• Bacteria come from random crap in the ocean
• The ocean (and its random crap) come from the formation of Earth
• The formation of Earth comes from the Big Bang
• The Big Bang is from the universe!
• The universe was something before anything, which can be defined as uncertainty
• But then, you could argue that Stallman was motivated by uncertainty (or Ambrose Bierce quote in signature), and so...
• Computer science is indirectly more "pure" than math.

Today was fun. Cursed at LaTeX for 2 hours until I realized that I accidentally didn't mark a % sign properly.

Can't wait to do this for the rest of the year.

But list-making is just applied computer science (If you typed it)....

I spilled water over my computer as I was going to sleep. flipped over a cup that was on my desk by accident.
I ran to shut the system down and luckily nothing happened so I dried the outside and opened the case to peek inside: There was a drop hanging over between my ram sticks LOL and another drop on the mobo but over some text.

boy I had nightmares this night, hahaha
I left the case open overnight and today I had only to settle the ram sticks again (because I had removed them to dry) and everything works fine.
almost a horror story it was

6.6GB of chrome tabs, untextured 3D model editing, OBS 1920x2160p30 screencap

apparently system could take it o_o but need to figure out how to bump up the bitrate on OBS because that thing's outputting like 0.5 mbps (not that the thing I do would benefit from a higher bitrate since it's mostly gray)

six point six gigabytes......

I put 64GB of RAM inside my thinkpad just for chrome, since I'm consuming about 20-ish on chrome, and I like 32 for Inventor. and then what other programs I'm running in the background.

what thinkpad are you using?
#thinkproductsmasterrace

Since I'm a minimalist and prefer to have as few things open as necessary (habit from old laptop), I get frustrated when more than 10 tabs are open and more than 2 windows are open. Chrome uses ~1GB of RAM on my machine due to my extension load.

P51. Technically not mine, but my boss said, "You pay for the RAM upgrade, I'm cool with it!" So I pulled the old stuff.

Also, I found a REAL computer:

Cleaning. Pay no mind to that random NF-A9.

Nice R9-Nano, I'm temped to get one. I don't mind it having "only" 4GB as I won't be playing AAA.

What did I do today:

Got a "no" but maybe "yes" from the company I've had 6 interviews at. They waited for the very last interview to tell me that they are not interested in what I applied for.

The hypothetical "yes" is on my weakest tech knowledge:

• if they can find me a suitable mission
• if I actually go through the mission interviews at the clients

Declined the "offer" as it was conditioned by to many IFs and because they lied/omitted the fact that the interviews were not conducted toward what I thought (and they asked me what I wanted to do at EACH interviews).

Better skip that rats nest...

Returned my 570 ITX for RMA, built a 2U rack server (build log incoming), worked.

Horrible, wasting so much time for something they should have been upfront with you from the start. Sad to hear.

That's wrong. They should have been more clear up front. Then again, if the company does that, I wouldn't want to work for them.

Meanwhile in my happy world...

Homework rush this week before a "dead" week in which no homework is assigned and nothing is taught, then finals week, then glorious break!

yeeeeaaaaaaaah!

Sadly, I haven't been able to design very much since after I'm done with my homework on weekends I usually default to either:

• Sleep
• YouTube
• Initial D

Almost done with first season. Excuse my apathy for SFF.

 

[Windfall]

Meet Dewdrop: A project that I've spent 133 hours on the layout for, so far.

Today, I updated it to the HDPLEX 400 because why not.


I'll begin modeling the actual chassis soonish.

 

[el01]

Today I finally finished the last bit of the last episode of Initial D: First Stage.

Now I'm addicted.

 

[owliwar]

today I present my final project, at last
it all went well

 

[Solo]

I probably just did the most absurd thing ever. I just ordered a 500 piece assorted set of screws because I needed one M.2 screw.

I probably just did the most absurd thing ever. I just ordered a 500 piece assorteid set of screws because I needed one M.2 screw.

I did the same recently. Then I realised how handy having such things around was when I built a system with matching screws. Made me feel much better.

 

[el01]

I, on the other hand, ravage everything for spare parts (is ravage the right word lmao)?

Now I have an unsorted load of random screws, most of which are smaller than M3 (Philips Size 0), a bunch of random plastics and metal components, and (for some reason) a CD drive's motor.

Tomorrow I actually might have time to work on cases!

YAAAY!

 

[Choidebu]

500 is crazy, dude. 100, maybe.

That reminds me I caught the allen screw bug from @confusis - gotta order some silver ones. Anyone know what S4M-C side panel uses again? 6/32" or M3? I can't remember.

 

[Aux]

I save all fasteners, at some point I must get round to actually sorting them. Currently sitting in (a lot of) plastic bags.
Saying that, I save most stuff, not sure if I will ever use half of it again. Not quite a hoarder yet, I think.

to the editor . . . the dots have a meaning . . cough . .and you have to read it backwards . . . I'll get my coat
