I finished reading a book about John Von Neumann

called the man from the future. John Von Neumann was a mathematician among other things. In school I passed math class though I did not do very well. I only did the homework I was assigned. I never read any books about math or probably even read my math textbook.

I suppose I thought what good or what would math be when I got older so I did just enough to pass and no more. I did that with all of the subjects.

Anyway reading the man from the future makes me wish I had worked hard at math. Gotten through the textbook before the school year was out and read books about math.

It makes me wish I were great at math like john von Neumann was. Because math is cool. Who knows maybe I can learn math before I get to old.

Anyway I like math a lot more than I used it. Though I doubt I am any better at it. Only now I want to be better at math.

Today I watched css

and javascript videos. I don’t know if I will ever become good with either one. I suppose as I have written before I want to learn web developing so that I can learn hacking. I don’t have a huge desire to learn web design. I would rather hunt for bugs.

But, I have not worked with html, css or javascript enough to know if I am good at coding them. So who knows I might have a talent for web design. I highly doubt it.

So in the videos I learned about the font properties, how to include custom fonts, sizing, padding, margin, border properties.

Its sure nice that I don’t have to memorize everything otherwise I would be in trouble. Tough I do want to improve my memory so maybe it would be a good thing if I had to remember all the properties.

Today I worked on the swimming pool for my new song swimming

And I found a water shader tutorial to make the water texture. It was not that hard to make the water. Mine does not look exactly like the water in the water shader video.

I also watched a few of the concept art video’s from the concept art course.

I wish I were better using blender. I hope I will get there if I keep practicing.

I want to work through a blender concept art class

that I found on blender nation. Years ago I think I read a book on how to make concept art for video games so I think it will be fun to be able o make concept art with blender. So much I want to learn in blender.

Today I also watched a tutorial about beveling edges on your models to make them look more realistic and also a tutorial on different techniques that can be used to move the 3d cursor.

I read the traits and sunit chapters of pharo by example 9

I did not type in any of the code in pharo. So I am on page 175 of the book. So I getting through it.

I have never used a trait in any program I have made. Probably because I have not made that many programs in pharo.

To I like it when I run a test and the light turns green. I need to get a lot better at writing tests. And I need to build a lot more programs.

But, at least I am reading pharo 9 by example and I can upload pharo code to git.

What I did today

I watched css, and javascript videos on linkedin learning. The videos were about stylings links and different types of selectors. I want to get better at building websites. And if I want to be an ethical hacker I am going to have to know about those things.

I also learned that vscode has a mobile version. I was using notepad to write code in. So now I will use vscode.

And I also started working through a grant abbot beginner tutorial of a night scene. I have watched two videos of the course so far. Hopefully I can get through the course fast.

Oh, and I almost forgot I read 10 pages of paro 9 by example. I want to get that book read. I have been reading it for awhile.
