Last Notes npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade (During my semester at the college, the laptop ALSO regularly backed up all of my files through the college's cloud save system, but of course that's gonna have been wiped by now. They even deactivated my /email account/ when my contract ended, they're not gonna have eight-month-old file backups still sitting around.) npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Gosh I sure do hope I wasn't so distracted by my dissertation that I did not actually put the files on that drive! Or failed to preserve that drive in some place! Or somehow left it in fucking Texas, who even knows anymore! npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade So let's all just REALLY HOPE that somewhere in the apartment full of USB drives, I can find the one drive on which--as far as I remember! I was very distracted with defending my dissertation at the time!—I made a /third/ copy of all this, purely for having a separate non-cloud backup available as well. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Apparently all of the class materials that I created last fall for two different classes I designed from the ground up, and carefully saved to three different places, do not exist in at least two of those places. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Stuck in my head this morning: npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade @npub1h0y…apfa That, uh. That. Well. That's exactly what I'll be adding in the event system that's the next major addition after I get all the base systems working properly... npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Whispering "I will not add quality and durability stats to every garment owned by this subsistence farming household to adjust and track monthly" as I work on my Twine game. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Nothing interesting to say about my Twine project today, because I am working diligently on the code to make various options appear/disappear based on the in-game month, which requires writing a lot of statements like: npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Well, back to work on the project this afternoon! At the moment I am sufficiently happy with my pregnancy/miscarriage code and child death function that I'm leaving those alone to try to get the real core of the game, the actual /farming/, to work properly. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade @npub1pvx…8k5k Huh. I mean, I can see you. And you can't see me? npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Good news: I learned the 'nobr' tag, so I don't have to keep manually putting <<nobr>> code around everything I don't want to be creating a ton of whitespace. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Yeah "field" has long since stopped looking like a word. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Hey, does anyone know of a good intro course—pre-packed online, upcoming this summer, whatever—on accessing, reading, and understanding papyrus texts? It feels like a major gap in my general "Oh I can go look for info about the ancient Mediterranean in—" knowledge base, and I'd like to find a way to shore it up a bit. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade I really cannot find any way to make this section on "now decide how many porters to hire for the overland portion of the trip" both interesting and concise, so... concise it is, sigh. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Instructor who voted for Assigning Students Many Tiny Projects Lesson Plan sobs, "I never thought I would be grading so many tiny projects!" npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade @npub18yl…pegw @npub18p3…03wh There's that old joke about a line of soldiers slogging through the mud toward their posting, and realizing they won't make it on time: npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Good morning from a professional dog. npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Sang myself the Chore Song while I swept and mopped this afternoon. It goes like this: npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade <looks at today's list of chores to do> npub1tf264qv9qcwqxxwrykg2708s0casuxuelqm5eawajzr7qtmq65hsudu0y8 Fade Tag yourself, I'm "father of a robot infant”
