One day I forget about is April fools day.

It seems like every year I forget about April fools day. I suppose I like the day because its fun, playful.

I don’t recall any pranks being made at me. And I don’t remember pulling any pranks on anyway. Its weird that I have not pulled any April fools day jokes because I like to make people laugh.

As I see it I am not a person who likes to talk about my problems. I do think about my problems to much. But, I don’t talk about my problems to other people. I would rather think of something to make them laugh.

I don’t want to be a downer. I don’t want to be a person who people see and say of gosh I wish I could run away. I don’t want to hear about that persons problems.

Its much more fun to make people laugh.

I like using gimp and inskcape

better than I like using blender. I think. Yesterday I watched two gimp tutorials. One was about making a picture look like a comic. And the other tutorial was how to make text follow a circle. path. The only problem was that I could not rotate the text where I wanted to move it.

I have know about gimp and inkscape for years. I wish I were better at using them. I am not. I can always learn how to use them better now. So I will try to.

I was working with gimp

yesterday. One thing I noticed about the difference between gimp and inkscape is that to me its a lot easier to resize a drawing in inkscape than in gimp.

With gimp I had to right click on the layer and select resize later and put in the numbers I wanted. With inkscape all I have to do is used the move tool to select the drawing and I can used the handles to resize it.

With gimp if I want to make the drawing bigger I have to worry that the drawing will have less quality. With inkscape I can resize the drawing as big as I want and don’t have to worry about the quality.

I also watched this video about how to remove backgrounds of a picture in gimp:

Its not as hard as I thought. Well the paths way to remove a background would be hard but, the rest were not that bad. maybe the layer mask way to remove a background was also hard. There rest were easy. So 3 easy ways 2 hard ways. I practiced removing the background of an image of earth.

One thing that I read about Paul Erdos

That has always stuck with me is that he thought about math for hours and hours a day. I think it said 20 hours a day. I might have written about this before. I want to write about it again since I like it so much.

Thinking about math 20 hours a day would be better than what I think about 20 hours a day. And I am sure if I thought about any of my hobbies for that many hours a day I would get a lot better at them. And thinking about a hobby that much would surely make me feel better.

When I read that about Paul Erods I thought I wish I could think about math for 20 hours or 19 hours or however many hours it was. So cool. If I thought about machine learning for 20 hours a day I am sure I would get better at it. Same with ethical hacking.

I don’t know if I will ever be able to think about any subject for that man hours a day. I sure wish I could.

I got both of these websites

from the MIT newsletter I get. The first websites i called jazz keys. What is does when I press keys on the keyboard is make jazz sounds. Very fun. It makes even my typing sound good.

The other site called flowchart fun allows me to create flowcharts by typing. Something like that. I have not used it yet.

I wish I were farther

along with ethical hacking. As of yet I have not found my first bug. And I have not even searched for any bug. I have tried capture the flag on hackerone. That is about it. I do know more about ethical hacking now than when I signed up for hackerone and bugcrowd. So that is a plus

I am thinking that if I learn about business logic errors maybe I could find some of those bugs first. If I remember right insiderphd says those are the easiest to start with.

I am not that interested in computers anymore. The idea of finding security flaws in a web application does excite me so I figure I will continue learning about ethical hacking.

One of my favorite

RC car channels on youtube is ampro engineering. I like that he seems to have a lot of projects going on.

I had RC vehicles. Though I never had any projects. I never thought about getting an RC car and fixing it up. In fact I double I did much to any maintenance on my RC cars. At least with my toy RC cars probably when they broke I got a new one.

I think it would have been a constructive use of my time to get old run down RC cars and fix them up. Yet it never crossed my mind.

Working on RC cars would probably have been better than listening to the radio or watching TV. Oh, well I can’t go back in time no matter how bad I want to.

So if I ever get an RC car again I want to learn more about how to maintain them and I also want to get run down RC cars and fix them up.

Also I don’t think I never knew the names of my toy RC cars. And I wish I had known the names.

I wanted to do more

programing this year. I have not done that yet. I am still trying to go through kaggle courses. Its going slow. I am still stuck on finishing kaggle’s python course. At least I know I like datasciece. Though I wish I worked on learning it more. Its not going to learn itself.

If I never learn to program well its not the end of the world. I do want to learn how to program. So I am going to keep trying. I am sure I need a programming project.
