What did you do today?

[Biowarejak]

Today I got to playing with my RGB button So shiny! Debating writing some custom control software as the build progresses. It's finals month so I haven't been able to do much heavy lifting with Radian unfortunately.

Keep Moving Forward!

@confusis
Looking pretty slick there with the colour coordinated logo and roof rack.

@Biowarejak
Looking forward to your progress on those projects AFTER your finals.

But I gotta relax somehow!

Roof rack delete:

The red patches on the roof are vinyl covering the holes awaiting a sheet of vinyl to wrap the car from the window line up.

Yes, and if I didn't have kids, I'd love one like this:

What are you saying, they are perfect if you have kids. Just for them, not for you

Looks good!

Today I did a final presentation over landscape photography, which went fairly well. Then I tested some itty-bitty fans that turned out to be pretty quiet. In the process I accidentally gashed my hand on the side panel, gonna be sure to round all of Radian's edges before I even think about ordering a prototype. I also figured out how to control the brightness of my rgb switch while maintaining the colors so I'm happy about that. Just need to work on a GUI-Serial interface for it... And study... Study first...

Finished managing the PSU cables in this:

Well done, that's a very clean build !

 

[Soul_Est]

Went to work at both jobs, got my latest paystub from the second one, still waiting for pay (in cash) from the first. Talked with parents about the potential car purchase (TCO is uneconomical atm). Continued planning my next computer build and looking into streaming in the future. Now I just need to face my imposter syndrome and get back to designing and building things.

 

[Biowarejak]

Took a math test, got cracking on an interface to control the RGB button. Having some weird bugs but it's somewhat functional.

Benching those marks...

There was 0.0000000000001 inch of snow in Atlanta so I sat in traffic for 3 hours only to drive 19.1 miles. Excuse the decimals but I wanted to be very specific about what I did today.

 

[owliwar]

Today I obsessed about my current case project, made lunch late, then I got back on my freelance work
this is what i'm doing today (I do book cover for fantasy books) - not finished yet, especially on the lettering

This week;
-Stood down from my manager role at my day job, due to lack of support and stress issues;
-Thus, took a 30% pay cut;
-Re-budgeted to scrape through on said less pay (it's gunna be very tight.. looking after my two kids by myself on minimum wage is tough);
-Started organising CES stuff;
-Santa related stuff for the kids;
-And continued work on SFFn content

Hang in there man! Taking a wage cut and having a family to support certainly sounds challenging to say the least. Fellow Dad here. But reducing stress and ultimately improving your health and well being is totally worth it in the long run IMO.

You always have the best place on the net here for support bro.

That's one hard decision to take, especially with a family to support. Fellow dad here.

Hopefully you can get a better job later on.

 

[confusis]

My better job will be SFFn, fulltime. One day The stress reduction was the primary driver in the decision - the stress at work was causing me to get very ill, very frequently.

Thanks for the support guys

Best of luck with the new direction @confusis and if we can be of any help instead of breathing SFF, just say so
