Blender, Python, Etc.

So it's been a while since I have last posted. What have I been up to? Mostly, I've been working on homework and such as the Iraq and African countries such as ...

I've been reading a bit, more e-Books. I find them easier to read than regular books as i do not have to hold it up to read it or turn pages. I can simply scroll down the page or toggle through the pages with the arrow keys.

I've been Linuxing a bit. I still probably won't go full time into Linux until I acquire some better programming skills, especially of the C++ and Python type. Speaking of Python, I made the most incredible find a few weeks ago. I've been a fan of wanting to be a fan of learning Maya for several years (since 2001? I think). I have found an open source program on that scale, and I am trying to learn the basics. The program can be used to create 3d models to export to Photoshop to be animated upon, make those 3d objects into a movie, or make them into a game. I can see this is going to require several hours just to be semi-familiar with it. And I thought it took me a long time to finally learn Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and most of Flash (I don't animate often).

As the beginning of the summer was mostly practicing, (well, about late June through mid-July...most of the big practicing happened between Feb and early May). Of course, there are always those weeks I do not practice, such have been the last 6. I have had 2 community band concerts in that time, but I've been so preoccupied with this computer stuff that I haven't had a chance... that, and it's been really hot!

When I am in practice mode, I can't do anything but that...the same goes with computer mode or whatever other modes I have or might eventually put myself in. It's a pain. That was vague. What I mean is, if I practiced as much as I say I do... and on a constant basis... I would drive myself crazy, not that I'm not already not there, but atleast I would be ontop of my game. People's expectations is another group of obstacles that often keeps me from practicing. I practice more when I have no deadlines (except for transition pds. such as Christmas break, early summer, and late summer...and Thanksgiving...and Easter... and whenever else something steps in my way.

It has been the best of times and the worst of times. It's made me feel pain, anger, and anxiety far worse than I ever could have imagined.

...and vice versa

Nissan Versa!!! "Heroes" will be back soon!

My indecision is too great now...

I must go.
