So I am not avidly religious, but I still follow vague Christian festivals and beliefs (to a certain extent). Anyway one of the 'festivals' that I look forward to is the one of Lent. This time allows me to develop new habits or get rid of bad habits and has done me in good stead so far: cutting down sugar, reducing Youtube time, getting me to journal and a handful of others. I would prefer for the challenge to do or make something as this gives me either a new skill (in the very least new knowle
I'd like to add a quite entry here on complacency. I had a mathematics mock exam today and I assumed given that I do further and further pure mathematics I should be able to breeze through the exam without much prep. The issue was that it was not so easy, now the majority of the issues I faced were silly mistakes so not necessarily lack of knowledge but these slowed me down and put more time pressure on me. The mistakes occured becuase I wasn't putting as much effort into the questions as I deem
So the first one will be about a pretty "awesome" thing that I encountered in my internship the last two weeks. Just to be honest it's not awesome. Most would just go on and say it's not a big deal. But in my eyes it's plain stupidity.
The trainee complained all day that in their second most important test they only would have sooooooo less time for their tasks. It´s not some leave some marks or write a text task. No they are industrial engineers. I´ts drilling, filing, making threats, Thi

This was I question I would constantly answer yes to when I asked myself. No matter what I did during the day I would always answer 'yes'.
Now for the old me
This answer lead to many instances where I overworked myself, get overly stressed or feel utterly worthless. It's an issue that I have managed to resolve to a certain extent and I no longer beat myself up about not doing work I believed I should have completed. But I believe this is an issue a lot of people will have but in a diff
Y'all! I'm super excited, I'd been wanting to do this for a while now, practically since I finished the show in December. I've recorded my commentary of a rewatch of the first two episodes! I do hope to make a habit of this and begin to rewatch the series completely. So if any of you would like to come along for the ride, that would be awesome!
Oh, and if anyone would be interested in drawing an OC for me, I would be thrilled. I've got an idea for one, but I don't have the right tools for d
I know for years now, I've had a negative and bad view on life and myself. Slowly but surely that is changing. I'm starting to see how much good there can be out there. How much worth I am to friends and family and my abilities in society. I know I've struggled with various things and still do but I gotta keep remembering that good things can happen in life to good people. It's just how this world is. With time, everything I want that will bring me happiness will happen.
Do I wish all the b
Howdy ho good people. Welcome back to the shitshow that is the United States featuring its glorious brain dead cheeto leader, Donald Trump!
Recently, the South Korean film Parasite won best picture at the Oscars. Haven't seen the film yet but I hear it is a masterpiece, nothing less. Sounds like it absolutely deserved this award.
Donald Trump, being the putried spawn of the underworld that he is, made his own opinions known about this victory for the film at a rally in Colorado.
I've started making a PMV for the first time ever! I'm super excited about it, even though I've only put together about 10 seconds of it, so I wanted to share my progress so far!
The song is Trouble is a Friend by Lenka, a song that been a favorite of mine for a long time.
The first several seconds of my PMV is below! I'm really trying to nail the timing of the clips, but it's my first time, so! I'd love to add cool effects and stuff sometime like the really awesome PMV makers, but I h
Rhenny Blackwater was one of the members of my family who was a zebra; genetics from Star Blackwater herself led to his birth, and he showed sheer brilliance from an early age. He had a knack for mechanicals, and he always showed interest in such things - even into his troubled adulthood.
Rhenny (short for Renvolio) also had random seizures, as evidenced from some of the medical reports, diagrams and charts he kept, starting at about the age of seventeen summers. He also was the only chil

So after a bit over a week of intermittent crocheting I have completed my first complex plush: Baby Yoda. There is a lot of learnt whilst making the project which I will take to other projects.
I very happy with how it turned out and am looking forward to completing more projects eventually creating my own patterns. But now I need to focus on my revision and mocks.
Lately I've been flying the Piper Cherokee on the sim, as I've also been training on it in real life to meet the complex aircraft requirements for the commercial pilot license. Luckily was able to find a good free model online.
Did a couple of instrument approaches at College Station, then Hunting...ton... or was it Huntingville? Lastly going towards Galveston to see some of the beautiful, exotic beaches (ah hah hah).
Enroute.
Final approach... weather is currently pr
Surprise!
For the heck of it, I've decided to challenge myself by doing an Organ version of the 1% Skills 99% Editing Skills Challenge (or should it technically be a 0.1% Skills 99.9% Skills Challenge? lol ). Featuring Toby Fox's Megalovania (from Undertale). What a better song to do for this kind of challenge than with this song, am I right?
Enjoy.
Premieres @ 8 PM EST today (Feb. 17, 2020)
If you have been looking at my todo list (which is really boring to be honest) you can see that since about Tuesday I have been mainly revising. I have mocks the start of next week (Monday 24th) - which aren't major but a good test of revision effectiveness. So I have started the arduous task of recollecting all the content I have learnt over the past year and half in the space of two weeks. This is now more of a test of memory and memory acquisition than knowledge of the subject and has got me
I completed the ears a beginning of yesterday but I didn't have access to the plush at the time so decided to wait until today*. It now no longer looks like an alien and is starting to look like baby yoda. I think the ears could have been a little more rounded, the length I think is okay. Already started on the robe this morning so hopefully the full plush will be finished by the end of today.
*The ears on their own look like triangles so there was no point in submitting an entry jus

Twenty years ago yesterday, famed Peanuts comic illustrator and writer Charles Schulz passed away from cancer at 77 years of age. The following day, his last strip (created well in advance) circulated the papers.
Now twenty years since his last comic strip, Schulz’s lasting legacy remains firm, and Peanuts remains iconic for both young and old.
Okay, this one's kinda stupid, but I wanna get it off my chest anyway.
Y'know what really grinds my gears? When you see people ice skating in a commercial (usually a pharmaceutical commercial where happy people are showing how happy they are to get their fibromyalgia and crohn's disease under control), and the woman is always wearing figure skates, and the man is always wearing hockey skates. Yup. That's how it's gotta be. No other choice, because as we all know, if figure skates so muc
On the continuing project to avoid doing revision or work I have completed the body of the baby yoda plush. Only the the features that will actually demonstrate that it is baby yoda are left. These are the hardest parts though not long, just some complex stitching. Anyway, it is unlikely that I will make any progress tomorrow as I have a shift but hopefully I will make some progress over the weekend to have it finished by Monday
So, whilst avoiding doing the tasks I have set out to do today I have completed another segment of Baby Yoda, the first arm. The doll is looking more humanoid, but there is still the ears and robe to do so at the moment he still looks like an alien.
So I recently started crocheting. I have been meanig to for over a year with a basic plastic hook and yarn ready to go, but I never got around to it. After seeing multiple baby yoda crocheted dolls online I thought I would give it a try.
To be clear this is not the first thing I have crocheted and this is not my own pattern (I am using this pattern). I may post some pictures of the first plushes which I made, two narwhals and a whale. Before even starting these I made 25 100 chain stitches
This is a follow up to the previous blog entry (read it first to understand Binary numbers):
Subtracting two binary numbers is as easy as adding two binary numbers. In fact, it is the same.
Computers deal with bits, and the number of bits are limited. The smallest number of bits that the computer can access is 8 bits, called a "BYTE" (a wordplay of "by eight"). 8 bits can contain 256 different bit pattern combinations, and that gives us the total numbers we can count using bi
