Game plan

Right. I need to mange room to get beer fermenting. I’ve beer is fermenting I need to make room to start building couch. Once I have a better idea of how I’m doing on materials, I need to make room to get more materials in. I also need to start up my fish tank. I also need to start up planters for my tomatoes.
I think I have a problem. Not like ooh, that’s a challenge. More of the hi, my name is secondsuitor, and I’m an addict.
I’ve been playing gw2 again a bit, and new added tsw back in the mix. I think I’ll drop gw2 and just get back to tsw and work on my projects a minimum per day. I don’t like the idea of turning hobbies into a job, but at the end of the day, it would be pretty dope of my job was my hobby. The whole regimented thing though. Ugg.

Beer 032315

Boneyard – Hop Venom IIPA
Clean and fruity.

Holy Mountain – Five of Swords IPA
Kinda musty, but good.

Stone – Go-to India Session Ale
Now I know what the S is in ISA. Bit of a floral and citrus. Crisp.

Counter Balance – Pogo Duck ISA
I’m confused here.
I drink it.
It’s dumb.
I go to say “Wif. This is lame. What are you talking about it being good.”
The after taste hits.
The after taste is good.

Anchor – Steam Beer
Ooh. This is good. Smooth. Crisp. Side delicate flavors underneath that give a depth. I like it.

Couch…

Right. I probably have enough wood. But. I already have to find this weekend anyway. So… I figure I’ll grab a couple more pallets. I very will might not need them, but I’ll find a use for the excess anyway.
In preparation for two more pallets, I should clean up some more. Get more floor space to work. I should also build my miter block for faster and cleaner cuts. I’m thinking of taking one of the wider boards and just putting a couple blocks coming up off of it. I’ll have to verify they’re straight. I’ll probably also want to reexamine my saw situation. I have the one that’s strap and flimsy, and the actual miter saw that’s firm but might be dull as an Ayn Rand book club.
In other news, I got a beer kit, so I’m making beer soon. Which sadly is another space eater in the Den of Inequity.

This

Might be cool. Leather substitute. The article that is referenced in the article is in Popular Science. The articles in that particular paper sum to be a 10:1 ratio of popular to science.

An aside

I make it a point to never start a conversation that has no tangible benefit. If asked how my day is going, I try to put in a cheery ‘good enough’. If asked my opinion, no matter what it actually is, I will usually try to be agreeable rather than ‘wrong’. I give people the benefit of the doubt rather than the blame they likely deserve.
Some days are hard.
I’m sure it sounds like passive-aggressive bullshit, but it’s not.
It’s my laziness in action. I could talk and argue and debate, and then find out it was all for not. No one wants to hear about it. I could also just keep my mouth shut knowing that at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter.
I tell myself this.

Couch planning

I’m starting to do my mental inventory to help finalize my couch plans. So…counting one I shady cut a chunk out of and three laminated posts, I’m rocking five or so 4″x4″x36″ posts that are actually all different dimensions. Totally not enough off the top of my head for any couch design that makes sense. But, I also have four heavy casters. With the aid of these masters of magic I’ll hav… what’s that, other type of caster, derp…
Right. I’ve got casters that I don’t need or want. This is code for rolling papier-mache feet? Maybe leave them exposed and useful. I don’t know. The important thing is they add about six inches to whatever I want.
So… figure I chop one post in half. Now I have two low back back posts and two low rise front posts. I put them close to 67° and I now have some classic lines. Using the rest of the scrap I start building seat and back boxes. I think it could hold. I’m starting to like this idea. I did done crude drawings, but figure I’ll measure stuff before I get all super drawy.

Fantasy sports

I have six teams this baseball season. This plus I’ll add the three or so football teams at the appropriate time. I’m gonna be busy in that regards.
If like to be less busy. I think I need to take another look at finding a way to harvest stats and turn that into ai directed moves. If I start simple and go from there it seems like a much more viable plan. Probably start with each player being a state machine. As the stats come in per day, update the stats. Is it ai? I mean, if I’m doing all the work its not ai. If I could get the computer managing its own team, that’d be one thing, but I’m talking about scripting it choose my moves for me.
Either way, I need to get on it. I really don’t want to have to keep track of that many players by hand.
