Oct. 9th, 2020 07:36 pmI am goddamned invincible. At least until Monday, when I have to start doing the part of this code project I'm less sure about.
But I spent... what was that, about two hours? Coding up the user interface portion of the project and even if I have to do a completely different project from a completely different site now I know it'll only take me a couple of hours to do that. It's not that hard! For me, of course, now that I'm familiar with the format it's a lot like the small cutesy programs my grandmother had us doing in computer class when I was in primary school. So that's done. I'm pretty happy with it, it could be neater/trimmer but that's a problem for another day. Now it's just dealing with APIs, which I have not done before and which I have considerable trepidation on. More videos over the next few days, or on Monday at the latest.
I'm also feeling pretty competent because I successfully made my computer stop going to black a lot. It started doing that earlier today, turned out that it was because the video card drivers were buggy and there was an update that fixed it, which I grabbed off the website and installed with somewhat bated breath. Nothing horrible has happened yet and I can watch videos without kicking up errors and blackscreens. A quick check of my notifications tells me that the only ones from the video card are do I want to open the menu and go to the website for updates. Excellent.
I've been doing a lot of cross-stitch to the exclusion of all else, which I need to make myself put it down somewhat and do some drawing and writing. I have so many projects I want to do! But cross-stitch is easiest to do while watching things, either watching Cadfael to relax (which is what I'm doing at the moment) or watching class videos and walkthroughs and tutorials on things. So... ergh. I'll start with it back tonight, I have so many projects I want to write and sketch for.
The boy is finally recovered, at the end of his vacation which definitely sucks but I'm glad he's recovered, and the last time we checked in at the vet Cassius was also doing well and we get to pick him up TOMORROW. I will be so freaking relieved to have both my cats where they belong. Or possibly in the house where they will belong. Still not sure about that and whether it would be a temporary or permanent solution. Cassius does now have his rabies vaccine anyway, which means Barton should get one too, and then... not sure.
So... things are going well, personally, which is still strange to think about when the country is such a shitshow. I do have feelings about the number of positive covid tests in the government, most of them being cackling and nasty, but ah well. I guess we'll see what happens.
