It Does Matter

Posted on August 24, 2020 by SusanG

I want to take a moment and discuss something really important. Then, I’ll get on to everything else.

I know I don’t have a huge platform here, still I think this is important to say this. In the United States it is election season. This year we are having a Presidential election. If you are eligible to vote, please make sure you have registered and that you vote. Vote.

If you don’t think your vote counts consider this, the 2000 election was determined by 537 votes in Florida. The 2016 election was determined by a less than 1% margin in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. In some cases, in Pennsylvania that less than 1% margin amounted to just a handful of people per precinct. It doesn’t matter how you feel about who ultimately won those elections, that is not the point. The point is that your vote, your voice matters. It does count. It does make a difference.

If you vote for no other reason, vote to preserve your right to complain about the government for the next four years. Because if you don’t vote, if you refuse to perform your sacred duty as a citizen of this country, if you don’t exercise your right to vote, you forfeit your right to complain about what you get.

So please, make sure you Vote. If you mail your ballot, if you vote early, if you go to the polling place on November 3, 2020, however you choose to do it, VOTE.

And to quote Monty Python…”Now for something completely different.”

The garden continues to grow.

I spent most of my week 3D printing the items I showed you last week. The root saver things for the Aerogarden. I’ve got a nice stash of them now. I have a few more extra items I’m printing for my parents and then I hope to have that project wrapped up by the end of this week. I’ve learned a few interesting things along the way.

3D printed cache of goodies.

I tried to make the job go more “efficiently” by setting up to run multiple sets of the root savers in one print. It seemed like a sound idea. Except that it wasn’t. I didn’t think about the fact that I’m basically printing in melted plastic that has to bond to itself and it will do that best when it is still hot, or at least very warm. Not thinking about that, I setup to print 3 of the root savers as one print job. And when they were done and I took them off the printer, everyone of them either had or ended up with at least one of the “legs” broken off. They were really brittle too. I suspect that the time it took for the printer to make the full round from the first one to the third one and back was long enough for the filament to cool. So I changed plans and have printed one at a time since.

It also seems to matter how old the filament is, or maybe how much exposure to air and moisture it has had because I found that as I got farther into the roll of the blue, I got somewhat cleaner prints. Then when I completely switched to my new filament everything was consistent. I still had greeblies to clean off and sand down. But overall, the print was better.

A green gizzmo that will look cute with eyes painted on it.

I did spend a fair amount of time studying last week as well. I mean as mesmerizing as it is to watch a 3D printer, there really is only so much of it that I can do. So I studied. I think I am on track to start the next phase of that either end of this week or first part of next week. It’s the more intense part. It’s the part where I attempt a practice test and see how things look. I’ve been putting this off and somewhat dreading it because it’s like the real test so it could take as much as 2 hours each try. However, I’m really at the point that that is what I need to do next. The first few are always horrible and a bit crushing. I think I’m going to do ok and I get less than 50%. And yet as I continue, I will get better, I’ll learn new stuff and finally be ready to take the test. So this week, I will also be doing a fair amount of studying, with a few breaks thrown in.

Which is what I did this weekend. I took a little break from trying to study and I did some things that I enjoy much more. In addition to some reading, to finish off a couple of books, I did some Blender and I played some guitar. All of which I had been missing out on. I was really disappointed when I got to the weekend and realized I hadn’t played guitar that week or done any lessons, and that I had not made more progress on my Blender donuts scene, because I had not worked on it.

Dounts with icing.
Kind of makes me think of the Addams Family.

So Friday, after watching the latest Blender Today to hear about a couple of cool new announcements, I settled down at my laptop, to the sound of the 3D printer, and I got to work on the donuts. I have a weird thing happening with the icing on one in that when I go to weight paint it, the colors are the opposite of what they are supposed to be. And since that was the first piece of icing I dealt with, when I got to the second piece I was completely confused by the results. They were the opposite of what I expected because it decided to revert to using the expected color scheme.

Why the weight painting and being opposite matters is that it makes a difference in how the particles, or sprinkles get dispersed on the icing. And it’s not that the color being opposite matters. It’s more that it was confusing. The weight map uses different colors, from blue to red, to denote how strong an influence that area will have, or in this case, how many sprinkles can land there. Normally Red means that that area will have the most influence, or in the case of sprinkles, that’s where they can land. Blue means it’s not influential at all except maybe to repel anything that is trying to land on it, like sprinkles. The first donut I weight painted, blue was behaving as it was the most influential while red was behaving as it wasn’t at all influential. And then the other two donuts decided to be normal and I was back to red as influential and blue as not. Ugh.

A little color on the donut sure makes a difference.

I am really pleased with what I got done. I did change my initial plan a little as far as the sprinkles. It seemed a better idea. I have one more idea for the sprinkles that I want to add. Maybe I’ll get it in this week.

Oh. The big Blender announcements were that they have a new corporate patron. Unity game engine joined at the patron level. Microsoft joined recently, and before that Epic, and Ubisoft had joined. This is really important for Blender because it is an open source application that is community driven. They don’t sell the software. They just write it and update it. And to be able to do a good job at that they needed to be able to hire some developers full-time. This latest patron took them to their goal and over. So that is a really big deal. And yes, anyone can support them at different levels not just big companies.

You knew there were going to be sprinkles.

The other big Blender announcement had to do with their convention. In the past in October they would hold BCon or Blender Convention in Amsterdam where they are headquartered. This year they had also planned to have their first US convention in Los Angeles. I wanted to go even though I wasn’t sure about the price. I would, ultimately, like to go to the one in Amsterdam. This year, both got canceled. And then they decided, like so many events and groups are doing, to take it online. It looks like it will be just a 1 day event and it will be free. You can purchase a comfort box to be delivered, hopefully, in time for the event so you have swag and goodies to help you feel like you are more a part of the event. So it looks like, this year, I will be going to a Blender conference. I think I’ll order the box too.

Just in case you think, that with all that, I neglected my guitar again, I assure you I did not. I watched several more lessons and then I practiced. I re-discovered, there is a price to pay for not practicing regularly. Sore finger-tips. Lesson, re-learned. I am making an effort to practice at least a little each day. I keep making this pledge to myself. It sometimes takes a few tries before I get it. So I’ll keep trying. And playing. I am considering one of the other online guitar learning platforms out there. I was going to go with Fender play, except from the App Store from Apple, it looks like maybe their format, or at least their app might be frustrating. I also looked at Justin Guitar, who I’ve looked into before. His beginner app gets a lot of good feedback so that’s good. And I know his site is fairly extensive. I’m still looking. I am only about a third of the way through with the course I’m working on and I have 3 more to do after that. Which means, as fast as I am working through things, there’s no rush to find the next step.

Check in again next time to see what I manage to get up to next.

It Starts So Innocently

Posted on August 17, 2020 by SusanG

I’m not sure why we call them rabbit trails, but we do. It might have to do with the way rabbit trails seem to go all over and go on and on so that finding your way back is a monumental task. Or perhaps it has to do with falling down the rabbit hole in Alice and Wonderland. Everything is different and you have no idea where you are and how do you get back. In either case, that’s where I was this weekend for sure. It started simply and innocently with a need for a pencil holder. And it just grew from there.

The printing a pencil holder.

I have a 3D printer that I bought several years ago. I had quite high expectations of using it then and only ever printed out one or two of the demo prints that came with it. It has mostly gathered dust and taken up space until this year. As you might recall a couple of months ago I finally figured out how to set up and use a 3D print file that was not a demo file, and print something useful. I haven’t really used it since. But it was a start. Now I have a project, and it all started from a conversation about me printing a pencil holder.

I have a set of pens that came in a great holder that spins and has them all set out so you can easily see which one is which. It’s great. It takes up too much space. I wanted something different to put them in. The last time I made a pencil holder I used Lego Bricks. I don’t have that many anymore and certainly not the sizes that would make building another pencil holder possible. But I have a 3D printer. No I didn’t print Lego Bricks. Though…Sorry, a thought ran off with me. Back to the pencil holder. I went online to Thingiverse and found a couple of options for a pencil holder that I liked and could print. I downloaded the files, did some scaling, did the slicing, and holy cow it’s going to take over 13 hours to print. Good thing it’s Friday.

There are 24 pens in that 3D printed pencil holder.

This was all I really planned to do at that point. Print my pencil holder. And then a conversation with my manager for my day job. We were discussing the Aerogarden and I brought up how the spikes that you use to grow things in often have to be cut and disposed of when you decide to pot the plants that have gotten too big because the root systems are quite robust and I don’t want to damage the roots if I can avoid it. My manager, after hearing about my printing and this problem suggested that maybe someone had made a replacement for the spike that wasn’t like that. And off I went.

Yes, it turns out someone has designed a root-saver replacement and put the files on Thingiverse. Which meant that I had a new project after my pencil holder finished printing. I’ve printed out a test of the spike and it looks like it’s going to work like a charm. I’ve found a couple of other helpful bits like a plug that covers the empty holes when they are not being used. I showed one of the plugs to my Mom and she said it looked like a character from the movie “Batteries Not Included”. Then she wanted to know if I could paint eyes on them, the plugs. And off I went again.

Something useful. Root-saver spike.

So a couple of bits of particulars for those who are curious. I bought my printer through Monoprice several years ago. They still sell either it or a similar model. My print area is 200mm x 200mm x 180mm and the printer only has one print head. I am printing with PLA filament, it’s a plant based plastic that is non-toxic and has little if no fumes when printing. The converting, or slicing software I’m using is Cura. I had to custom setup my print settings in it probably because the version of the software I have is considerably newer than my printer. My printer is the equivalent of a RepRap if you know what that is or was.

The printing really did consume my weekend, which is probably good because the rest of my week wasn’t that interesting for writing about. I’m still studying. I’ve made some progress. The approach of rewriting the notes I took seems to be helping. It may have been a punishment in school to have to write lines over and over again, but in this case it is really helpful and I feel like I’m finally grasping some things. So I’ll be continuing to try variations of re-writing my notes to help with the studying. It may not be the most efficient way to most people but it is the repetition that I find works best. And that makes sense. It’s like playing scales over and over and over, or doing kicks over and over, or forms in Taekwondo. I have done those things so many times that it often takes little thought for me to go through any of those if asked.

A little fun with a failed print.

I had planned to get to the more creative and fun things this weekend and didn’t. Best of intentions and all of that. I’ve still got plans to work them in this week. I’m thinking maybe a guitar lesson or two for my lunch hour and donut work one evening after Taekwondo class. That should work. And maybe some work on a digital art piece I’ve started in Procreate on the iPad. It was inspired by my nephew.

That’s the exciting stuff for this week. As you can see, there’s no telling what I’ll be getting up to from week to week. Join me again next week to find out what adventure I fall into this week.

And something completely different to end with.

Workin’ The Plan

Posted on August 10, 2020 by SusanG

Of course the question is, which plan? Well right now, roughly two. The studies plan and the technology consolidation plan. The studies plan is what I’m calling the part last week where I figured out that if I get certain things done, I’m be really done with them and can move on to different stuff. I haven’t mentioned the technology consolidation plan yet. I’m still assessing a couple of items with that. However, I did get started on it.

Playing in Procreate. It’s a whole new world.

About a month ago I ordered an iPad Pro, at the same time I ordered an Apple Pencil and a cover to go with it. A couple of days later I had the pencil and the cover and was waiting on the iPad. The iPad finally arrived last week. Finally. And now, I’m getting used to using it. There were a few things that finally convinced me to get an iPad again. For starters, the Pencil. This was really exciting to me when it was first introduced and now with some of the upcoming changes to how it works in iOS 14 I’m even more excited. Another thing was trying to draw or sketch with the tools on a Windows tablet styled Surface and finding it a difficult enough experience that it hasn’t inspired me to learn how to do it. Yes, I have a stylus for the Surface. There were other things that appealed to me as well. The fact that the OS on the iPad is designed for a tablet and not a desktop operating system trying pretend to be a tablet operating system. The difference in how privacy is handled is another plus. And it fits into the bigger technology consolidation plan, which, as it implies, will ultimately see me with fewer devices. Hopefully.

Since art is a factor for having the iPad getting the right app was important. For that, this time I decided to purchase Procreate. I have Auto Sketch I think that’s what it’s called. It’s the Autodesk Sketch program and I could have stuck with that but I decided to go with something that seems a bit more “Apple main stream”. I have tried it already. In fact I used it to play with an idea for what to do for the next donut scene after the one I’m working on. It was fun to use that idea to learn a bit of how to work with the app, it was also the first fairly simple thing I could think of. And you know what. It was so easy and smooth to use that I actually want to learn to use it to make 2D digital art. That’s a cool thing to me. In fact it’s probably the coolest thing so far.

The garden is growing.

I already have Garage Band for the iPad so I’ll be able to use it for some recording of my practice and noodling if I want to. And yes, you really can produce music in Garage Band. I haven’t done it yet. I’m looking forward to trying it. I am planning on getting an iRig to go with it so that when I do record it will, in theory, be better quality.

Speaking of music, I worked on my guitar course again this weekend. And again I learned something. It is a slight variation on the turn around for the 12 bar blues. It was easy enough with a couple of the boogie patterns he uses and more challenging with the other two. My brain and fingers kept getting a little tangled. I kept at it though. I played it until I could do it. I used the iPad to watch the lessons. I like the portability more than my other devices and I think that will be important as I get to some of the more involved lessons that I may want my guitar in hand for as he’s going through them.

It probably seems like all I have to talk about this week is the new iPad. That’s because, last week, up until it got here I was working the study plan. It was a full week at the day job and a long one as we had server patching at the weekend. As I mentioned in the last post, I figured out that if I got a few of the things I’d been working on done I’d have more time to better concentrate on the big study so I could get that out of the way. So that’s what I did. I was about half way through the week and found that I was really close to finishing the AWS course. So I pushed through and finished the course and the test for the course. I am done with that. For the immediate need. Now back to the SQL study with that as the focus. Which is what I’m working on now.

Donuts are modeled. Need sprinkles and color.

Though I did take some time to work on the guitar course and to practice, and I worked on the donut scene, once I was done with the patching and maintenance for the day job, SQL was my focus for the weekend. And I worked the iPad into that plan as well. I have these notes I’ve been taking for some flash cards online that even though I’ve been taking the notes, I haven’t gone back and read through them. So I decided to do that. Read the notes. As I was reading them I thought it would be better to re-write them so I could read them more easily. But I wanted to write them, not type them. So I found a good notebook app for the iPad. I chose one that I had to pay for. It is one I can have full access to and not have to subscribe to it after the free trial. I’m really loving it. I’ve got almost all of the notes copied. Just a few more sets to go. And I’ve retained some of the information too. Progress.

I’m expecting to make a little more progress on the donut scene this weekend, maybe even adding some color to it. And I will be making sure to get some guitar practice as well as the guitar course. Even planning for that, my big focus will be the SQL. I’ve made progress with my notes, and my book study and I have a few more tools to work with so that I can get myself ready to take that test and pass it. For now, I have few pictures I managed for this week so enjoy.

Yes, I felt the earthquake.

Adjustments, Tweaking, and Maybe Motivation

Posted on August 3, 2020 by SusanG

I recently caught a small case of boredom where I wasn’t too excited about the things that I have listed out to do. I started thinking about it and realized that it might be because, half or more, are things that I am working on for the day job. Yes, they are things I want to learn as well. It’s just that they are more for the day job. And even though I finished the Blender Donuts tutorial, I hadn’t really replaced it with one of the other things I am wanting to learn. That’s because I’m still making 3D donuts. I guess it’s time have another look at things.

Salad Greens

The first thing I did while I was thinking about that was to make myself some lunch. I had a steak sandwich wrap and used some of my lovely salad greens that have finally gotten to a size of needing to be harvested periodically. As I was eating my wrap, I thought about the things I’m working on for studies, I realized that I had one course that I have completed a bit over half of. It could be finished fairly soon. And it might be enough to get me what I need. I need to check that out. That is the AWS course. That leaves two other lines of study. SQL and Ruby. I actually have a lot of what I need for what I started out taking the Ruby course for so I can pace myself a little differently with that one. Which brings me to the SQL. I’m studying for a test. As soon as I pass the test, I’m done with that. Done. Hmmm… I think I have a plan.

I’ll be working on that plan and seeing how well I can get it going this week. I’m hopeful. I really think it will work. I will include some of the fun bits too. I mean I still have Taekwondo, I still play guitar, and I’m still making 3D donuts.

Meet Phil. Phil lives in the Music Room and loves that window.

Speaking of all those fun things. I did work on the guitar course again this weekend. I’d say I didn’t learn much with this set of lessons I watched except I learned just enough. The discussion of power chords and the why of them. Why they get used and why they work and a little of how to work with them was helpful. I’ve never been a big power chord player, except in a couple of cases for the blues. And I never had any real good explanation of their point. Now I understand. No. I won’t be switching to chunking away at power chords all the time. Seriously, that would be boring. It’s just now, I have a better understanding of them and their place.

Sketched it first.

Donuts. 3D donuts. Yes. I finished the tutorial in time for last week’s post. And I had an idea for the next scene. I think I told you, I intend to make a lot of 3D donut scenes. I’m treating it like practicing my scales and fingering exercises. I’m hoping to get faster, and to get some of the techniques well entrenched in my brain so that, like doing some of the Taekwondo forms I learned when I first started, I will have done them so much that I don’t have to think that hard to use them.

I did do something a little different this time. Actually, I may have done it one other time a few years ago. Anyway, I sketched out a rough idea of what I want the scene to look like. It’s not too fancy at this point. The point is to go through the exercise. And using a sketch, I think is good practice as well. Both for my sketching skills and for my workflow.

Starting a new donut scene

What else is happening? Well, I took some time during that bout of boredom and before making lunch, to work on the Lego set of the VW Samba bus. I’m not really far enough along with it for it to be worth a picture. And I’ve had my plants to take care of. The Basils, I think will make it. The Thai wasn’t getting enough water apparently. The Genovese was just getting enough water. They both have some new growth so it’s a matter of time I think. And the salad greens. They finally got big enough and full enough that I had to start harvesting. I had them as an addition to a salad one night and I’ve had them on wraps a couple of times now. I am hoping to get them transplanted before their roots get too overwhelming or tangled for the water resevoire.

Oh. My greeting cards arrived. I set them up and ordered them online using Moo.com. I got them today. They look great. They are a matte finish but not the matte finish that I was expecting. I was expecting something a little more rough which would have been fine for what I did but not so much for other things I’m thinking of. Now that I know what to expect I can make decisions about other card projects going forward.

That’s it for now. Enjoy the pictures.

My cards have arrived.

Moving Along

Posted on July 27, 2020 by SusanG

I was going to call this post “Movin’ Right Along” however, every time I say or think that phrase my ear worms start singing the song by that name from the original ‘Muppet Movie’. It wouldn’t be so bad except they don’t remember all the words. So I’m stuck with Fozzy Bear singing half the words in my head for hours. It wasn’t worth that sort of torment.

As you might have guessed, things are looking up as far as getting cool things done and learning stuff. Once that nasty headache completely cleared I was able to really get going. And even solve a thing or two. Like when to start one of the guitar courses I purchased, and what to do about some blank greeting cards. So onward.

Salad Greens. Two weeks old.

I was working along this week trying to make progress on all the different things I’m learning for work, and getting somewhere. I took a really basic overview course on AWS. Now I’ve started a little more in depth course with plans for an even more in depth course after that. I worked on Ruby this week, mostly setting up my system for running Ruby on Rails locally. I have a personal laptop that I’m using for that and for the Blender lessons. I found the part of the Ruby course where they tell you how to set it up so I did that. They also show you how to set it up on Mac and on AWS Cloud9. I have an old (10 years) Mac Book Pro that I bought used to mess with and I decided to see if I could set it up with Ruby on Rails. It took a bit of effort and wasn’t as smooth as the Windows 10 laptop, but I chalk that up to it being 10 years old and not on the latest OS. Still, it works.

Blender Donut

I’m still plugging along on the SQL and as I looked at something one day from the book, it clicked what I’d been encountering with the online study stuff I’ve been using. Which means that is starting to take hold as well. That’s a relief. And kind of cool.

I tend to keep a list of things that I have to remember to do, like appointments, or classes, and chores. I also keep on the list, things that I’m working on or don’t want to forget to work on. And some are things that are big projects that could be coming up. As I was looking at this list this week, it clicked with me when I could work on one of the guitar courses I bought. I no longer do weekly grocery shopping and I don’t have Taekwondo on Saturday so that would be an excellent day to work on that. That’s not to say that is the only day I will pick up a guitar. It’s that it is the day that I will sit down and watch some lessons. Then I can spend the week working on the exercises. So yeah. I did that. I sat down Saturday afternoon, I was planning on morning but had a spurt of creativity for a different, out standing, project that I worked on. I’ll get to that in a moment.

Final Donut and Coffee.

Back to the guitar. I watched about an hour of the course to start. A lot of it was really very basic stuff and review for me. Though, I finally understand some of the notation on the TAB sheets I use. And I have even put them to a test. What a difference that makes. Oh boy. So I went through about an hour and got to the basic beginning lessons and printed out the PDF file so I could have it to remind me. Then a little later, I decided to spend some time playing around with the exercise, and a little of what will be coming next. And I solved a problem for myself.

Remember that I have had some trouble with my arm and that some of it seems to be aggravated by they way I try to play the rhythm for ‘Dust My Broom’? And I’ve tried the open tuning for it, which works, though it requires considerable adjusting and relearning of things to make full use of it. I’ll get there. Or back to working on it. For now, it turns out because of how this instructor shows a basic blues boogie, (I consider it a shuffle but I could be wrong), I learned how I can play that, all on the same fret and thus use a capo and not have to use that poor, little finger. And when I figured it out my brain wanted to explode. I’d been working so hard to figure that out and here it was, and it was simple. I’m totally excited, and mind blown. Almost as mind blown as when Kevin showed us the C-A-G-E-D stuff.

Awesome Coffee. Made in Blender.

That little project that took up my Saturday morning? So, I’ve been writing cards and letters to a few friends and family, for fun, as a good way to keep up, and to help support the post office. Now I prefer to send the letters in blank note cards with something interesting on them or if it’s really short, just a post card, again with something interesting on the one side. At first I resisted purchasing cards because I had a few and I wasn’t finding anything I really liked. I did finally find some, they were these awesome paintings of Llamas with a rainbow mohawk, or glasses, or very prim and proper, and even one with headphones on. My nephew has been a big fan of them. Before that, I was thinking I really should just make some. Problem was, I wan’t sure what sort of art to put on them. Then, it looked like the card stock was going to be matte, not glossy, and I wasn’t sure about what I had finally decided I could put on them, which was some of the pictures I took in Australia.

So this idea for these blank greeting cards has been sitting on my list for a few months now and I’ve been stuck. This week, I got an advertising email for this site called Design Cuts. I downloaded a free bundle of Photoshop and Illustrator brushes and fonts and back grounds and such from them five years ago. They regularly send advertisements for the weekly freebie, or bundles that are on sale. Something caught my eye in the one they sent this week so I pulled it up to see what was in it. There were a few items that I thought would be really useful and fun to see what I could do with and one of those was a set of masks. Not like face masks. Masks to use to hide parts of an image. That seemed like it could be fun to work with.

A taste of my Aussie Greeting cards I made.

Back to looking at that list. So I hadn’t purchased the bundle yet. I was thinking about it and pretty sure it would be a good choice, when Friday night, I happened to look at the item on my list that was for the Australian greeting cards and boom. I new exactly what I wanted to do for the cards and with that mask set. Which lead to Saturday, after breakfast and some awesome coffee, I purchased the bundle, and started experimenting. I ultimately came up with about 25 different pictures that I thought might work and I applied different masks and created these really cool pictures. I chose 5 to use for the greeting cards. I got them uploaded and ordered and they are on their way. I’ll post a little taste with this. I’m so excited.

And on top of all that I have finished the Blender Donuts course completely this time. I finished up the note taking on the final section which covered some key framing, animation, a bit of setup, and compositing. There’s still a good bit to learn that I really don’t have a feel for in Blender. At least I got to learn some new bits now. I wasn’t sure I would get it done this weekend. I thought it might take part of this week. I did get it done and now I can start on the endless donuts project. You’ve been warned. I’m excited to have that part completed and so I can move on to using that a little more creatively and to really add my own twist to the subject matter. I have an idea for the first one, already.

I has been a full week. And a satisfying one. I feel like I’ve really managed some breakthroughs with several things and that makes a big difference for my mood and my attitude. I am exhausted at the end of the day, and that’s ok. At least I feel like my day was well spent. Enjoy the pictures from this week.
