Leaving Chris World?

Why not bring back a souvenir?

Clouds Don’t Struggle


The lightest moment of the day featured a nice short
walk out to watch a wonderful sky. My job empowers me
with such graces. And I enjoy that fact.

I used to like billowing cumulonimbus clouds but after
I spent a while studying clouds I decided my favorite had turned
out to be wispy cirrus. Mares Tails. Hadn't seen these in a while
so I took a picture.

...

I think I need to stop beating myself up over the lack of
progress I'm having with this and that. The truth is that
all the projects I endeavor to do take time. And it can
be said that simply staying on the trail is a small victory.
Something to be proud of. Something to relax into rather than
feel the struggle.

I may not get things done by the time I want them done.
(For the short term and the 5 year term) But stressing
too much about it isn't helping.

I think I've determined that there are different kinds
of projects. I enjoy the ones where I get to directly create
something. And although that is essential everything... the
difficulty in the creation varies.

For writing code, it can move smoothly or it can move like
a train wreak. But the fact is.... that it moves. I think I need
to smooth out my tasks between the train wreak types and the
coding that feels like I'm getting somewhere.

Like coding that construction algorithm. That's a hard task
but I should have a very wonderful visual to show for it.

And through this trail of thought I discovery the necessity
of the all powerful over view plan. The 1000 Day Plan for
which I haven't fully mapped out the details.

Order Parts for ROV
RepRap Order Parts
Build Processing (building Arduino IDE was simple)
Finish Plan Mapping (and make a poster)
IR Data for WiiMote
Learn KiCAD among other tools
....
ReWrite WebSite
Host the Dot Project
Clean and Sort Desktop Catch (should be nightly but never is)
One day I'll draw up the rest of the cartoon models
Post that Dragon I made

Spec writing? I have no idea what sort of spec I would use.
- Spec for CENTRAL
- Spec for Construction AI
- Spec for Construction Master Plan

Learn to Write Processing Libs
I should make a poster from ceiling to floor And wide.
And cross them off bit by bit.
Brush up on Java
Learn OSC
Learn LISP (might be helping another CS student again)

The Processing project has a code base in use by
a variety of projects only I think they all dev separately.
So fixes don't propagate.
