    I'm so freaking tired of accounts for everything, passwords, confirmation numbers, stupid debit cards, stupid special wacky numbers on those cards, confirmation emails that arent received properly, having to change a password because it had no hieroglyphs in it... uuuuugh. I miss just using cash for things and having exactly one account (AOL). I totally didnt just launch a card at the monitor.

    A fractal object being worked on. I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this one or how it's going to be used. This editor is specifically designed to make the 3D ones. Dealing with the 2D ones involves a variety of other programs.

    This was complicated to make. I could animate this, but... maybe not right now. I think that's enough mouse use for today.

    Not so fun moment: Just finish showering, step out of stall, grab towel from the wall rack, feel something bounce off my shoulder... what? Look down, white/gray ball thing wildly rolling back and forth on the floor, NOPE nope nope nope...

    Got my hands on some new bizarre (and expensive) rendering software. I'm not even going to try to explain what in the world is going on here. It's not a fractal, but it's not a polygonal object either. Powerful stuff though. I can do a lot with this. Though it takes even longer to render than my fractals do. I need more power.

    Wow that took a long time to render.

    Took a few hours, this was a tough one. And then like 45 minutes for the final render. As for the island, I havent been there in a couple of years. We sold the place down there actually, because of too many hurricane threats. That was barely before the island did get smashed up a bit.

    Though the real reason I havent been there in awhile is because of an odd fear of airports and such. Not sure where that came from. I feel like I can do it now though, so we might do a trip down there at a rental soon like how we used to.

    The area l lived in was hit pretty hard. Bradenton Beach area looks new again, you can see the beach now as so many trees and plants are gone from the main drive out to longboat key.

    This one took a while to do. Might not look like it but this is a 3D object. PC darn near exploded during that render. Then a little bit of Photoshop magic, and there ya go.

    Step 1: Wake up middle of the night with nose itch. Step 2: frustration at this. Step 3: flail in direction of tissue box and angrily grab tissue. Step 4: blow really freaking hard. Step 5: liquid all over face. Step 6: uh oh. Later in the day step 7 will be: wash bedsheets and pillowcase. Also, freaking HYDRATE.

    Just as an experiment, you might purchase a box of adhesive nasal strips. See if they keep your nasal passages relatively open while you sleep. For me and my allergies it was quite a revelation that something so simple helps.

    I just discovered I can turn my previous art things into color mappings with these. Also this is the resolution the previous one was supposed to be in.

    Tiny teaser of a major project I started today. I've never tried something like this before and it is likely to take a few weeks. Also it's hard to get a proper "flashlight" effect in this fractal app. An unlit version of this same image also exists.

    Art thing #2. Both this and the last one were created out of the same initial fractal image. Now my neck & back hurt, that's enough for today I think. Arms hurt too, because why not.

    Well whaddya know, there is indeed a limit to just how much power I can get out of this PC. Generally fairly clear that I've gone too far when a single 2560x1440 fractal image needs a full hour to MAYBE render. I had to disable TDR just to make it even possible. Hopefully the accursed thing finishes without crashing.

    Do not try playing Microsoft Flight Simulator at maximized settings on that machine.

    A lot of those algorithms can definitely be optimized, but it's pretty intense. I suck at math, so I wouldn't be very good at that part :D

    I've got to stop going onto the internet when depressed. It really doesnt help. I cant make progress on anything if I keep doing bloody stupid things that specifically make it much harder to do anything.

    It's a good thing I dont have arachnophobia, there's just an astonishing amount of spiders out here. Walk outside to go water the plants, walk through 3 webs. Go to turn the water on, spiders on the handle. Grab the nozzle, get into position, spiders fall off of it. Turn around, another spider sorta Tarzan-swings past my face somehow. Some packages from Amazon on the porch, surprise, there's spiders on them.

    I think cute is just the right word for some of them.

    @Rodafina Ya know, the close-up photos you often post are really rather amazing. Do you take them yourself?
    Rodafina
    Rodafina
    @Misery, I am happy to hear that.

    Yes, they are photos I have taken. Macro photography is a particular fascination of mine.

    Got this today, my collection of odd plush dolls grows. This is the third really limited edition one out of the group. Glad I didnt miss out on the chance to get her. Her name is Jay, the thing she's holding is a skateboard, though it's hard to tell in this awkward lighting. This room isnt the best place to take photos.

    Why is screen recording and video editing software so spectacularly irritating to use? Like seriously, this seems to be a universal trait of the whole process. And not a bit of it ever quite works correctly. Particularly OBS, I have a very deep loathing for that one.

    Yup! OBS demands that I reset all of the parameters for my video sources every time or nothing works! And I swear it's different every time. All I want to do is get my microscope up on screen! 😾

    "I should not have clicked on that" is something I find myself saying more and more in recent times.
