It’s not exactly a week since my last update, things happen, you know how it is. One on hand, I did accomplish some of the things that I set out to do last week, and did some things that I didn’t plan to, so in all, it was still a pretty productive week, and I’m not going to beat myself up for not finishing all of it.
Surprisingly, I was barely able to keep on top of my podcasts for the week. I’m subscribed to so many that if I stop listening just a day or two, I can fall pretty far behind.
On the book front, I did it, I finally finished Utopia, and on top of that, I got through Terry Pratchett’s Wintersmith, and now I’ll make some headway on another book!
On the gaming front, I ascended in Nethack with my samurai character! It’s a thing I’m proud of
On the marble racing project, I made no direct progress, other than my indirect progress via learning 3D modeling. But that latter bit still counts as progress overall!
And on that note, below are things that I made this week! Please enjoy them!
As for my work work, I’ve managed to put in enough hours to support myself. That I live so inexpensively certainly helps, but the money has also been pretty good in the gig delivery business, I’ve been pulling in a solid average $20/hour, though of course I’d prefer to spend that time doing, well, more of the above.
As for goals for the next week, while I managed to make some progress on some of the tutorials I’ve been watching, they are piling up faster than I can go through them, so I would like to make some more solid headway.
The still renderings that I did above took a bit of time, but if I plan out the render times better, I can have other things queued up to do in the meantime rather than simply staring at the progress bar, especially now that I know that it takes several minutes per frame at that high quality.
In one last paragraph of self praise, I’ve managed to actually make a number of posts here on my blog this week, which I am going to continue to try to maintain!
Good luck!
