Since I’m divorced, and want to develop new routines, I will attempt to resurrect this blog. I was going to jump into my AWS site, but probably shouldn’t do that in the middle of an anxiety disorder and so this WordPress site is simpler. I just felt the need to post something, I suppose to prove I still exist?

That this person died before I learned who she was; it makes me sad.

More seedlings
I’m migrating from Riverside County to the Eastern Sseabord, so I have dispersed the remainder of the live oak seedlings I have been growin my rig. I have planted fourteen and gave another dozen to the camp host at the Lake Skinner campground. Best i can do under time and pandemic constraints.
This is what perseverance looks like
That’s what irony looks like

VR notes
Again, notes for reference until I sit and study.
Lareena noted during LTUE that LTUE 3 has gone obsolete. Update or replace; which of these?

That was back in 2018. Now?Weeelll, not so much. Version 4:

Conclusion: Very grateful there’s a V4. Will dive in presently.
OpenXR
I didn’t think it was a toolkit. Was I wrong?

EditorXR
It looked promising back when I investigated it, but couldn’t get it to work back then. Another try presently.

(from that page and important to know): Latest supported Unity release for EditorXR is 2018.4.12f1
Playmaker
We were going to pursue this, so here’s the handy link:
My rig’s solar setup
The alaskan RV tech who installed this locked it down so I can’t tilt it up for better sun capture. Perhaps that’s good, given my ADD. They’d probably sail onto the freeway next time I forgot about locking them down.
My satellite internet
Hughesnet VAR rig from ispsat.com
I used the skills learned from assembling my 3D printer to get this up and running.

I finished a story. Did I mention I finished the story? Also did I mention datasats are awesome?
December 2019 Reading, Watching, Listening, Playing
PRECURSOR by C. J. Cherryh, a longtime favorite author
THE MANDALORIAN all 8 episodes. Taika Waititi and Baby Yoda FTW
STRANGER THINGS. Finally got to the series
WINTER MOON, on Webtoons. Also a bushel of other webtoons.
“The Rise of Skywalker” because of course.
Thanksgiving Minecraft. Traditional family activity; great time had by all.
NO MAN’S SKY. Played it 2 years ago; checked back after all the updates. Still addicting. I made sure to remove it from the computer so I don’t get sucked into the black hole.
MY HERO ACADEMIA among other anime titles.
UNDERTALE. Finally got around to it. I aimed for the pacifist option, to see how it was handled.
