Currently programming my "cellular automata with n-body gravity" in rust.

The white gradient is formed by the "gravitons", the tan stuff is sand. Right now I've got the gravitons reproducing and passing directional data between each other, what I'm trying to wrap my head around is rotating indices for each simulated cell so that i can make them dynamically "fall" towards the nearest gravity source, rather than always falling towards the bottom of the screen as they do now.

Trying to learn how to program in Rust for the upteenth time. It's frankly not even that hard, I just never get to do much with it, since projects are either so unimportant that they can be in Python, or so critical that I need to use something I'm actually sort of an expert in, like C.

Chilling by reading mostly, playing some video games.

I'm also mentally preparing for a job interview on tuesday, with four family members coming to help. I guess I'll talk more about it after it happens.

Waiting on my hair to dry so I can go to bed. At the time you wrote this, either sauteeing trinity or meat I had in the freezer from Christmas, or at the grocery picking up other things, or pressure cooking the meat, trinity, and other things for dinner. Hopefully have enough to last for several days.

Procrastinating late at night. Don't want to sleep yet, nor really up to do something serious.

Reading this thread. :P

I've been fiction writing more lately, some novel-length project ideas brewing mostly in my head at this stage, but still haven't nailed down what I want to commit time to. I've long wanted to do a fictional representation of revolutionary struggle that is not, like... derailed by things like liberal idealism, "great man theory" over-emphasis on a "hero" main character, skating over the details and downplaying how much logistical complexity goes into it, using it as a cheap vehicle for a romance plot, stuff like that. Various problems that have plagued me in past story drafts of one concept or another. My standards are probably a bit high, but in general, I want it to be something that inspires and teaches people meaningfully, rather than being so divorced from reality that it might as well be about dragons and magic. Cause if all it's gonna end up as is entertaining, I might as well go for a concept that's easier for me to write than something I've never actually lived through (a successful revolution).

Not going to bed :3

Looking into an april fools I want to do.

A small project, plus uh, subtitling movies stuff, to pass the time.

It's 11 PM on a Saturday. I'm enjoying the only stress free time in the week by watch some old anime.

Bored and doomscrolling

I've been terribly sick for over 10 days already. I'm taking antibiotics now, and mostly staying at home. But I keep getting out from time to time to bring food and other stuff to the indigenous occupation at the local headquarters of Cargill, the American company. The occupation is already 30 days strong with hundreds of people.

Besides that, I've been reading/watching stuff from Cowbee's (now old) study guide. And coughing my lungs out, unfortunately.

Watching Olympics. Being Dutch this means watching (speed) skating as it is the only thing we win at. But the upside is that we win nearly everything there.

Planted some new stuff on my balcony garden today. Going for a (mostly) native cottage garden container with a main function of attracting bees and butterflies. I have several other containers with natives and wanted to spice some things up. Also made a bee hotel last week to give them a resting place.

Rest of my time goes to working out.

praying you get off work soon comrade.

im just getting litty off the penjamin and chilling. day off so i dont wanna do much else after running errands

Just tested both the kids for COVID/FLU A&B. Both came up negative thankfully, but we’ll probably test again tomorrow if they still have fevers. We’re gonna watch Avatar the rest of the afternoon.

I'm sorry to hear that. Currently I'm hanging out with my wife, watching stuff but already dreading work tomorrow. Need to learn to be more in the moment and leave it behind when I'm not there. Hope your shift goes quickly and easily for you.
