What did you do today?

[EdZ]

Set up the beginnings of the replacement Minecraft server for gold subs

Java or Win10/PE server? No mods on the UWP version, but Dat Performance. And VR (ulterior motive here).

 

[confusis]

Java. The original That way we can run DynMap, IRC Transport, and a couple of other basic mods.

 

[GuilleAcoustic]

And also ... Linux player friendly

I needed a break from working on cases and writing about working on cases so I made a few modifications to a subreddit theme someone created to spruce up the sub for one of the Japanese bands I've been listening to lately.

After:

IMHO it turned out quite nice.

If Reddit looked like that all the time I'd actually use it lol


I've done nothing but play Forza Horizon 3 Demo and Forza 6. Stitches come out tomorrow so hopefully I can start walking soon.

I got my computer up with a basic Arch Linux installation and will add more packages and files as needed. I also helped my friend with that ThinkPad X201 she got. I now have said ThinkPad X201 and she has my X200s with the necessary parts swapped between the two (I need my 8 GB RAM! ).

Set up an Intel Compute Stick for HTPC (Kodi) purposes. this thing is perfect for what i need it for!

 

[iFreilicht]

How bout this?

Gah, a symmetric connection, I'm jealous.

The cable company in town offers 1Gb/s down and I have a few customers at work that have it. It's nice but they "only" have 50Mb/s up with that plan.

I would expect those numbers to be reversed. I have 50Mb down and ~5Mb up with Xfinity/Comcast, BTW. Located near south suburban Indianapolis.

It's 1Gb/s per second down

I want.


I went my third counselling session (out of six) today. I am making progress and gaining a healthier perspective on my past and the present moment. I am glad I found this forum as I have learned to bridge and transition from my distraction (technology) to my passion (industrial design) and will continue to do so.

 

[Phuncz]

Excellent to hear, @Soul_Est !

 

[confusis]

Nice! How is it?

Not bad. They stripped the 14.04 LTS Ubuntu down a little too far, but overall it's nippy

So I've been back to school and managed to get into a Game Design course that I've been so wanting to take since I was a freshman many moons ago. It's turned out to be the most fun course out of my entire schedule, though that isn't hard to beat with things like Systems Programming and Real Analysis on my schedule (blegh :<). Our first lecture was a sort of ideas meeting where the professor wanted us to sit down and act like designers at a board meeting spit-balling ideas at each other. We came out with ideas for MOBAs, RPGs, arena shooters, and turret defense games. Fun things.

Other than schoolwork, I've been working on three fiction projects: one sci-fi, one high fantasy, and one a sort of contemporary-fantasy genre. I'm particularly excited with my high fantasy project, which I've made absolutely no progress with since high school when it was originally conceived for a Minecraft RPG server. I've had daydreams of turning it into an animation or a comic in the visual style of minecraft, but for now I'm just fleshing out the world as much as I can. Sometimes I wish I went into writing in College rather than fumbling about with Maths and CS.

I think it makes more sense to take a stab at writing later and be able to fall back to a CS degree though. There's plenty of baristas out there as it is

Don't worry guys, that's just my connection at work. At home it's more like 20Mb/s down, 2Mb/s up. Still good enough for my use, and costs less than 20 bucks, so that's fine with me.

Sometimes you just forget how good you have it.

Here's my home connection.


Haven't been up to much, trying to get my life sorted mostly.

Same.

True.

Very nice. Sorting things out will help you going forward.


Today, I hung out with a friend, worked on my computer (setting up a backup and restore solution with stow, etckeeper, and rsync), and listened to music. Now I'm off to play AM2R which you can find links to here as Nintendo is being Nintendon't right now.
