Comments on: Happy 4th! http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2013/07/04/happy-4th/ I will not fix your computer. Tue, 04 Aug 2020 22:34:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.26 By: Jason *StDoodle* Wood http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2013/07/04/happy-4th/#comment-44169 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:53:25 +0000 http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/?p=14694#comment-44169

Game: Minecraft (Xbox version); wish I could play full pc version, but my best computer is pretty old and crappy.

Book: None; unfortunately, my wrist / elbow / shoulder problems are getting worse, and reading aggravates them pretty badly. :(

Watching: I still keep up with a couple of Geek & Sundry shows (Space Janitors, Tabletop mostly) and lots of the various offerings from Rooster Teeth. Also, and this is difficult to admit, but I’ve been watching Rules of Engagement on Netflix. Yeah, yeah.

Coding: Nada. Not part of my job, and I’ve been avoiding computer use as much as possible lately. Not even doing any “cool” projects at my job, though there’s a local college’s school of medicine that’s likely to occupy quite a bit of time (but not in a good way, more in a “you call these architectural drawings worthy of release?” way).

Hobby: Does physical therapy count as a hobby? I spend enough money on it… (high deductables suck). Mostly just the aforementioned Minecraft; using a wired controller (to get rid of that annoying and — to me — painful battery bulge in the back of the controller moves Xbox gaming from the “painful, only 15 minutes or so a day is possible” category to the “I can play for hours and not make things worse” category, which is awesome.

Currently playing Mount & Blade: Warband. A couple weeks ago it was Don’t Starve. I would be playing LoL, but my internet connection currently sucks.

I just finished Robert Jordan’s The Dragon Reborn, and now I’m moving on to The Shadow Rising.

I’m watching a little bit of Doctor Who, and a little bit of The Office.

Mostly doing Internship grunt work at a web development company.

My hobby is wishing I had a piano.

Games: Because of my moving to Greece, I am now playing mostly good old Oblivion. I only have this and Skyrim on my gaming rig, but Skyrim needs to be reinstalled, because it crashes all the time.
Books: I recently read Gilead and The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. Both excellent books that I recommend.
Shows: I re-watch a couple of CSI-NY on the Greek TV. But since they have cancelled most public channels (including French TV5 Monde) to save money, there isn’t much to see in Greece any more.
Coding: I don’t code, I test other people’s code… That’s not pretty.
Other: Learning Greek… It’s probably one of the most difficult languages in Europe… And the teacher sucks! :(

Games: Don’t really play much anymore, but I’ve been playing Hitman Absolution on and off for the past two months. It’s definitely an okay game, but it’s not Hitman. I am disappoint.

Books: None. Last I read was Ender’s Game. Actually picked up a book on Zen Buddhism a couple of months ago, but I haven’t gotten to it yet.

Shows: Started watching How I Met Your Mother about a week ago, up to season 4 now. Pretty sure TV is my biggest obsession. Also following Continuum, Burn Notice, Game of Thrones, Warehouse 13, Falling Skies, Mock The Week, Futurama, Dexter, Graceland, and lots of others that I can’t remember this early in the morning.

Coding: Mostly working on home automation and my Pebble (<3) right now. Got light control figured out via TellStick, and music control because Sonos is awesome, and all (more or less) from my wrist.

Other: Piloted a Diamond DA20 last Tuesday and decided that I'm going to start taking flying lessons. Just gotta figure out some paper work and meet with a flight doctor now. It's gonna be awesome!

Games: nothing too much, though I did play a round of dominion today.

Books: I’ve just started “The Valley of Fear”

Shows: Dexter now that it has resumed

Coding: I’ve been working on and off on a library for real time open sound control message serialization and dispatching. This is by in large in an effort to fix up some horrors that lurk in the depths of some legacy code that I maintain. For work there is a lot of digital signal processing stuff getting codified.

Other Hobbies: I have a table with two half populated circuit boards for my modular synthesizer within a few feet of me now. That gets some of my time and cooking random things usually gets the rest.

Games : None really, mainly crappy little ones on Android, and occasionally fire up the Xbox (CoD, Portal)

Books : Just started the Robin Hood Hacker Collection – not excellent, but an acceptable read I suppose.

Shows : Breaking Bad, and a few other daft things on Netflix – Jonathan Creek, Ultimate Force. I don’t really watch much TV

Coding : Currently playing with C++/SDL making crappy animations and simple games. Just basically trying to learn another style of coding. I’d like to move through to openGL and write some demoscene type programs (maybe without the strict size limits initially), just pretty pictures and music.

Other Hobbies : Music, playing around with a small home studio, writing/recording very bad music. Drinking (I think I can class that as a hobby). I’m also getting into photography more, just got my first dSLR. Work zaps most of my time, so I really struggle to get deeply involved in any hobby.

Playing: not really anything. Steam library is full o’ stuff as always, but I’m just not finding the time
Reading: not as often as I’d like, but Charles Stross – The Jennifer Morgue
Watching: Dexter and Futurama. Also have some Elementary and Mad Men to catch up on.
Coding: Just for work, writing perl scripts mainly.

My life is not supremely interesting to write about right now.

Games:
Well there’s a giant space war that involves tens of thousands of people in EVE online right now, so I’m mainly playing that. I’m proud to stand against space hitler that is our enemies leader.
I also bought New Vegas recently so I’ll be playing that when I have some time.
Books:
I’m reading Revelation Space now, I rather like it so far.
Shows:
I’m mostly watching anime now, but there’s also new Futurama episodes.
